**How to apply to live on-campus? **

It is important to apply to live on-campus as soon as possible! Do not wait until you’ve been accepted to UF before applying to live on-campus.

Assignments Process

1. Apply to UF
2. Receive UF Housing Welcome Brochure two weeks after application to UF
3. Apply for On-Campus Housing. Your Housing Application Date is the date you submit your housing application and the $25 non-refundable housing application fee. This date establishes your “place in line” to select your room and residence hall.
4. Receive e-mail confirmation after completing application. An application is not a guarantee that you will be offered housing if admitted to UF
5. Get admitted to UF (determined by UF Admissions)
6. Receive email to complete Residence Hall Contract(s)
7. Complete Residence Hall Contract(s) and submit your $200 Housing Deposit by your due date in the housing contract email.
8. Receive email confirmation after completing contract(s). This guarantees space in campus housing for the contract period.
9. Receive email with your room selection date and detailed instructions on how to choose your room.
10. Select your room from the date specified in the email. (See Room Sign-Up for more information)
11. You can choose a roommate based on room availability. (More info at http://www.questions.ufl.edu/housing/roommate/247/)
    12. Move-in to the Center of the Gator Nation!
    Check the UF Housing Facebook (www.facebook.com/UFHousing) & www.housing.ufl.edu for updates. 
    Please seehttp://www.questions.ufl.edu/housing/contacts/241/ for more help

Keep an eye out for that e-mail! You need to make sure you have the housing deposit in by the due date.

If you haven’t submitted your $25 application fee, go ahead and do it now. If you find a roommate with an earlier date (“place in line”), they can make the room selection, and then “pull” you into the room as a roommate.

The following link has videos on how you would make your room selection:

Is there any more information for those admitted to summer B? I can’t really find any online.

I have a question on housing. At FSU they advised students to fill out the application and put down a deposit. If you ultimately choose another school, you have to notify them in writing, and you are refunded all but $50 of your deposit money.

Is that how it works at UF? (We already did the $25 thing in the Fall) If you put an actual housing deposit down at THIS point does that commit you to going to the university, or is it similar to FSU where you’d get your money back if you decide to go elsewhere?

@Trisherella Folks complain about UF’s “process” a lot…first the $25 thingie…and then below…

Cancellation of Contracts for Incoming students:
Contracts that begin with Summer B: $175 Advanced-Rent Payment
If you cancel before May 1, and FIRST cancel your UF admission, the fee is $100, and you will receive back $75.
If you cancel after May 1, and FIRST cancel your UF admission, the fee is $175, and you will not receive a refund.

Contracts that begin with 2016 Fall: $225 Advanced-Rent Payment
If you cancel before May 1, and FIRST cancel your UF admission, the fee is $125, and you will receive back $100.
If you cancel after May 1, and you FIRST cancel your UF admission, the fee is $225 and you will not receive a refund.

@herosaurus17 I think you have to do a contract for Summer B and Fall/Spring. It should all be explained in the e-mail and link that UF will send.
