The purpose of the UWM Residency Policy is to support the on-campus experience of our students. All students who completed the University Housing contract by the priority deadline of May 1, 2022, will have a place to live in University Housing. Since we are also stewards of the funds paid by our residents, our priority is to achieve full occupancy, as that will help us be the most efficient. May 1 has been the historical date to complete University Housing Contracts, and we continue to be able to honor requests in by that date. 

If the residency requirement is suspended, University Housing still provides the option for a waitlist in hopes to continue to provide contracts as vacancies become available.
