Each year in the spring, housing residents have the opportunity to tell us their plans or "intentions" for the next academic year and either renew or cancel their agreement for the upcoming year. During the Intentions Period, students who plan to return to campus next year can sign a new agreement and choose their room type preferences. Students who are not planning to return can complete an Intentions Cancellation Form to request a refund of their housing deposit.

The Intentions Period for 2024 will take place April 14 - May 3

 

Important things to know if you are requesting a new room type:

• If you have a specific hall, room or area in mind, you'll have the opportunity to request that on the Intentions Application.
• Students 21 years of age or older have priority in the Templewood Townhomes and MAC Apartments. However, if space allows,  students under the age of 21 who have lived on campus for their first year may be eligible for a MAC apartment assignment. Underage students in the MAC apartments must meet the following criteria:
  • Have no Code of Conduct violations
  • Have a minimum GPA of 2.0
• For information on room types and rates, please see the Living Options page or the Rates page.

Frequently Asked Questions 

• What if I'm not sure of my plans for next year?
  If you think you might return, it's best to renew your agreement as if you were coming back. If your plans change, you can cancel the application before August 1st to receive a release of your deposit.
• What if I complete a cancellation form, but change my mind later in the summer and want to return to student housing?
  You can complete a New Student Application on UAOnline and repay the application fee and deposit. 
• What if I'd like to change my room preference request on my application? 
  You can return to the application any time before the end of the Intentions Period and choose Revisit/Update This Application from the menu. You can then re-sign the agreement and update the application.
   
• How can I change the spring check-out date I indicated on my application or cancellation form?
  You can return to the application or cancellation form any time before the end of the Intentions Period and choose Revisit/Update This Application from the menu. You can then re-sign the agreement and update the application or form.
• How can I request a roommate?
  Roommate requests can be made on your Housing Self-Service page on UAOnline during the Intentions Period and up through the end of June. You'll receive an email from Residence Life once that option is available with more information and instructions.
• When and how can I choose a meal plan?
  Meal plan selection will be on UAOnline after room assignments have been posted later in the summer. You'll receive an email when this option is available.
• When will room assignments be posted?
  We'll be working on assignments and room placements over the summer and will have assignments ready to view on UAOnline mid to late July. We'll send you an email once assignments are available to view.
