Contracting Closes at 11:59pm Friday, May 1st.
As of 11:59pm on Friday, May 1, 2026, University Housing has stopped accepting Residence Hall Contracts for the 2026-2027 Academic Year. If you do not have a submitted contract or a submitted exemption at this time, you will be given an automatic exemption from the UWM Residency Requirement and may pursue other housing options through the Off-Campus Resource Center. We do acknowledge that we will have cancellations over the next coming months and encourage you to place yourself on our residence hall wait list through the Housing Portal if you still wish to live with us in University Housing. We will offer contracts based on the wait list as spaces become available.

Every resident is required to participate in one of three Residential Dining Plans offered by Dining & Retail Services, with the exception of residents in Kenilworth Square Apartments. Only residents in Cambridge Commons upgraded suites, RiverView Residence Hall and Sandburg Hall’s East Tower are eligible for the Supplemental Plan. Please refer to Section Q. Dining Services of your University Housing Contract for the full terms and fees.

Residents may change their Dining Plan to one with less swipes by no later than October 1 for Fall/Semester I and mid-February for Spring/Semester II (watch your email for specific spring deadline). There is no deadline to switch to a Dining Plan with more swipes. Students entering into an initial Residence Hall contract after the relevant deadlines will not have the opportunity to change their Dining Plan for that current semester.

Please note: Room and Dining Plan Rates are not established until late spring/early summer, prior to the start of that Fall Semester. When considering rates, please note the year below the rate table, as it will indicate whether the prices are for the previous year or the upcoming year.

By submitting this form to University Housing, you are indicating that you would like to make the indicated changes to the University Housing contract preferences that you previously submitted online. University Housing will review your account and assignment details to determine eligibility for change.
