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.

Community kitchens are available for residents to use in Cambridge Commons, RiverView Residence Hall, and Sandburg Hall. They include full-size refrigerators, stoves, ovens, and sinks.

Cambridge Commons kitchen/lounges are located in the center of each floor. RiverView kitchens are located on the end of each wing, with an additional large kitchen on the 2nd floor. The Sandburg* kitchens are located on the third floor of South, North, and West Towers, and were renovated in 2019, 2020, and 2023 as part of the Sandburg Renovation Project.

*Use of the Sandburg kitchens requires a key-in access request at the lobby Service Desk.

When utilizing any of our community kitchens, a resident is responsible for turning off the oven, stove, and sink, along with cleaning the space.

Cooking utensils can be checked out by residents at all residence hall Service Desks by presenting a Panther ID. All items checked out must be washed and returned to the Service Desk. If using personal cooking equipment, items may not be stored in the kitchens. Students that do not properly clean kitchen spaces after use will be assessed a cleaning fee.
