Welcome to the University Apartments Community!

When you are offered an apartment, you will be sent a Lease Acceptance Form (either in the mail or as an email attachment).  You, and your spouse/partner/roommate, should sign and date the Lease Acceptance form in the spaces indicated.  Promprtly return the signed lease and security deposit to:

• Division of University Housing                                                             
• Cashier's Office
• 625 Babcock Dr.

If you are not in the US and feel the Lease Aceptance Form will not reach the Cashier's Office by the due date on the form, you may FAX your signed lease acceptance to (608)265-5302.  If your plans change and you are NOT accepting this lease for housing, please contact the University Apartments Office immediately by email or telephone.
