For students who live nearby and already may have alternative housing arrangements at home, we suggest you consider completing a Wait List request for a University Housing space. As vacancies become available, we will start offering contracts to students on the wait list. 

For most students who need housing finalized by the start of school, we suggest that you contact UWM’s Neighborhood Housing Office (web: uwm.edu/neighborhoodhousing; email: housing@uwm.edu; phone: 414–229-6999). NHO maintains listings of available spaces for rent, conducts background checks on landlords, and guides students through the process of becoming tenants.
