Wait List Information
We always encourage students to apply for housing as soon as they find out that they are admitted to the university. Campus Housing regularly receives many more undergraduate applications than we have space to accommodate, and some students send in their applications up to a year in advance.
Most applicants on the waiting list are offered space on campus throughout the Fall or by the beginning of the Spring semester.
Beginning in June we post a wait list for those students who have yet to be assigned a room. If, after that time, you haven't seen your room assignment, click here to check your position on the wait list.
Please note: the waiting list is not for room changes. If you already live on-campus and are waiting for a room change, please read the room change information.

FAQ
When will I get my Housing Assignment/Contract?
Assignments begin during the month of May for applications received prior to March 1. Contracts are offered after June 1.
I heard there was a shortage of housing. What about the wait list?
Housing on campus at UIC is at a premium. In the past there have been many more students who would like to live on campus than there have been available spaces.
Applications are processed on a first come, first served basis. We recommend you return your application for housing as soon as possible-after you are admitted to UIC to insure your first choice of room. Should we fill up, wait lists will be available for both semesters. Please contact the Housing Office for more information about the wait list.
