How to live in the University Residence Halls
Contract offers are sent to your @wisc.edu email address. After receiving a contract offer, log in to My UW Housing to select your room.
- Indicate your preference for a single room or request a roommate
- Apply to an International Learning Community (ILC) Language House
After selecting a room/hall in My UW Housing, you have 7 days to sign your housing contract and submit your advance payment or the room will become available for other students.
Advance Payments
Contracts for continuing UW students will require a $300 advance payment. Current UW-Madison students who have previously lived with University Housing are not subject to the $50 non-refundable contract fee. Review the cancellation policy in our contract that specifies what must be met to qualify for cancellation and details of the forfeiture schedule, if applicable. Your second-semester bill will be reduced by the advance payment you have made.
Still Deciding? We are built for your success!
We understand you have many options to consider. We strongly recommend researching the various living options in Madison before making a final decision, including why thousands of University Housing residents decide to #LiveWithBucky each year. The residence halls offer resources, conveniences, support staff, and opportunities to make new friends and connections for a successful spring semester. Through our COVID-19 policies and protocols, including a robust testing plan and ongoing adjustments, we provide a campus home with many effective measures in place to protect our residents.
