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.

Each summer, Residential Guest Services at UW-Milwaukee hosts many different camps. Our summer guests appreciate the convenience of staying on our diverse campus on Milwaukee’s vibrant East Side. UWM is located minutes away from museums, the Milwaukee lakefront and downtown, and many music and ethnic festivals.

Whether you are planning a meeting for five or a conference convention for 1,000, we are here to help you with all the logistics and planning of the event. Our facilities offer fitness centers, conference and meeting rooms, and recreational opportunities for our guests to enjoy. Our 24-hour Service and Security Desk operations keep our guests feel safe and secure.

Important Note: Summer Conferences are generally only booked from the end of May to the first Sunday in August to enable us to ready the building for our fall residents.
