Students who submit applications by:

• June 1 will have their housing assignment by July 1

• July 1 will have their housing assignment by August 1

Once assigned a room, you can look up what room and roommate(s) you have been assigned to by visiting the UNW Housing Home Page. Select Room and Roommate Assignment under the term you are applying for to find this information.

It is highly suggested that, once you have been assigned to a room and know who your roommates are, that you reach out to your roommates. This is a great way to get to know each other before you arrive on campus and also gives you the opportunity to discuss how all of you will want to set up your room. More information on items to bring to campus can be found on the /wiki/spaces/H/pages/104366276 resource page.

Per the UNW Housing policy, all students who are seeking a Traditional Undergraduate degree, and are under the age of 21 as of the first day of classes of the Fall semester, are required to live in University housing for the entire academic year.

Students who are part-time during both the Fall and Spring semesters (less than 12 credits, including both traditional undergraduate and undergraduate online learning credits), married, or living with one or both parents are exempt from this policy. If you do not meet one of these three exemptions, you will be required to reside on campus. Living with relatives other than your parent(s) (i.e. aunts, uncles, grandparents, siblings, etc.) is not permitted under these exemption guidelines and you will be required to live on campus. 

If you qualify to commute either by meeting the age requirement or by qualifying for an exemption, please visit the UNW Housing Home Page to access and complete the Commuter Application for the term for which you are applying.

• Select the Commuter Application link under the header of the term for which you are applying. 
• We recommend using Chrome, Firefox, or Safari as your web browser.
• If you do not meet the age requirement to live off campus the application will direct you to apply for an exemption.
  • Once your exemption application is approved you will receive notification that you are eligible to commute. Otherwise, if your exemption is denied, you will be notified that you will be required to live on campus

Please know that if you do not communicate your intentions to commute, you will be placed in on-campus housing.
