This form is intended for anyone who has a question for University Housing and helps ensure we have the information to best address your concern. Responses may be delayed during peak times and due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We appreciate your patience. Our offices typically reply to submissions within two business days.

Note: filling out this form once is sufficient. We will return your message. Multiple contacts inhibit our ability to get back to you and other students in a timely manner.

Note: for non-emergency or emergency maintenance, repairs, or cleaning, please submit a maintenance request on our University Apartments maintenance page.

Note: all new residents living in University Residence Halls select a dining plan tier for food purchases for the year, based on eating habits. This amount will be part of your Housing bill and will be deposited into a Resident Food Account on your Wiscard, which is used exclusively for on-campus dining. If you eat more than this amount, you can add money to your Wiscard at any time and continue getting your resident discount on food.

Note: all technology-related questions in the University Residence Halls should be directed to the DoIT Help Desk.

Establishing a healthy relationship with food is an important part of learning. We are pleased to offer these dietary, allergen, and nutrition services and resources to residents at no cost.

Whether it’s a special reception, breakfast meeting, or quick snack in-between training sessions, Housing Catering has the perfect menu for you. We pay special attention to the details and pride ourselves on local and fresh ingredients.

Note: contract releases are only granted if you are no longer attending UW-Madison, studying abroad, or if demand for housing exceeds occupancy. You have an option of a buy-out of your contract at 85% of the remaining financial obligation.

Note: we are unable to make changes to room assignments during the summer. To be fair to all students, our room change process begins on the first day of classes in My UW Housing. All of our residence halls are a great place to meet people, get connected, and create your Wisconsin Experience, and going into it with a positive attitude will make your experience even better.

Note: for additional information regarding UW-Madison's planning for the 2020-21 academic year and beyond amid the COVID-19 pandemic, reference the COVID-19 Response site. Answers to many Housing-related questions can be found on our own COVID-19 FAQs page.

Note: Move-in dates for fall 2021 have not yet been finalized. A student's move-in date may be assigned based on their residence hall assignment or their involvement in certain jobs or student organizations. We strongly recommend waiting to make travel plans until more details are available. For additional information regarding move-in, move-out, and break periods, visit the Moving & Breaks page.

For non-emergency or emergency maintenance, repairs, or cleaning, please submit a maintenance request on our residence halls maintenance page. For emergency requests, contact a House Fellow or your Hall Desk.

Note: only current Housing residents may fill out a maintenance request. Parents/families should not submit requests on their students’ behalf. Requests submitted prior to a resident moving in will not be approved.
