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.

Laundry

*Please DO NOT use scent beads in machines. They impair machine operation, causing the need for maintenance and machine down time.

Locations

University Housing provides various laundry facilities for residents to use. Laundry rooms are located on the first floor near the fitness room in Cambridge Commons, on the second floor (and within upgraded apartments) in Kenilworth Square Apartments, in the south wing of the second floor in RiverView, two floors below the first (G2) in Sandburg North Tower, and one floor below the first (UL) in Sandburg East Tower. Each facility is equipped with high-efficiency (HE) washing machines, electric dryers, and folding tables.

Machine Operation & Service

All machines are coinless/cardless to use. HE washers can take liquid, powder, pod, and sheet detergent. However, please refrain from using scent beads. If using detergent pods, place the pod inside the drum and NOT in the detergent drawer.
