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.

Solicitation for Public Elections

UW-Milwaukee Policy on Solicitation for Public Elections in the Residence Halls

This Policy was developed to allow residents the same access to information on political elections as students off campus while maintaining their right to privacy within their living area.

Candidates and their representatives may:

  • Contact residents through direct mail via the U.S. Postal Service.
  • Submit 8-1/2″ x 11″ flyers to the Service Desk for posting on the Bulletin Boards.
  • Request, in writing, that individual Resident Assistants ask their floors whether the floor would be interested in an informal meeting to hear the candidates’ views on the issues. If so, the Resident Assistant will contact the person requesting the meeting to schedule a time.

Candidates and their representatives may not:

  • Enter the Towers without an invitation to speak.
  • Enter the Towers unescorted by their Host.
  • Post flyers in the Towers.

SANDBURG COMMONS (FOR SANDBURG HALLS ONLY)
Candidates or their representatives may, in accordance with the University Housing Facility Reservation Policy, use the Commons for meetings, literature distribution, or informal contact if they follow the proper channels to reserve the space. Tabling or room reservation requests should be completed through the Tabling and Room Reservation form.
