Housing...?

I applied to UMN back in November. Was I supposed to apply for housing already? One of my friends applied for housing before even being admitted… is that how it works? There is a $50 non-refundable fee… I don’t want to waste my money if I don’t end up being admitted. Thanks for the feedback!

I don’t think you can apply for housing without a login id which is part of your acceptance package. You can put down a deposit without accepting admission, however.

My son filled out the housing app and listed his building preferences, etc without being admitted. We paid the $50 fee.

@singermom4 everyone gets a login id after you’ve applied - that’s how you check the application tracker.

@MScarn Thank you for the feedback! I think I am going to wait for a week or so to hear back from the U b/c it is a reach for me so I do not really want to waste the $50 and not be admitted. Thank you!
