Housing Contracts
August 7, 2026: All students with completed contracts have been assigned. Please check your email and view your assignment via My Housing Information! Spring 2027 Contracts will start to be released in early November.

May 1, 2026: University Housing is no longer accepting Residence Hall Contracts for the 2026-27 academic year. Students without a submitted contract or exemption have been automatically exempted from the UWM Residency Requirement and may explore other housing options through the Off-Campus Resource Center.

University Housing remains full for Fall 2026, and we have not yet begun offering contracts to students on the residence hall waitlist. If you are still interested in living on campus, please join the waitlist through the Housing Portal. Contracts will be offered if spaces become available.

Printed forms can be returned to University Housing by any of these methods.

Financial Appeal
Rent Certificate/Tax Credits – The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is exempt from paying property taxes, therefore, housing fees paid by the residents of University Housing managed facilities do not qualify for either the Homestead Credit or Renter’s and Homeowner’s Property Tax Credits. For more information, please see the Wisconsin Department of Revenue website or contact your tax advisor if you have additional questions. Students who want to pull their own record of their accounts for housing related expenses are able to pull that data from PAWS.
