Housing Policy
Room Assignment Policy:
University Housing will not discriminate in room or hall assignment on the basis of race, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation, age, national origin, or ancestry. At the time of initial assignment, a reasonable attempt will be made to assign you to a hall based on the preferences listed on the Housing Contract. University Housing reserves the right to change residence hall and / or room assignments, to assign roommates, or to consolidate vacancies by requiring students to move or to receive a new roommate when deemed necessary. University Housing reserves the right to reassign one or both persons when irreconcilable differences occur between roommates or others living in close proximity.
Board of Regents Residency Requirement:
The Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System requires that all first and second year students live in university operated residence halls during the academic year. Exceptions are made for those students who are veterans, married, who have graduated from high school more than two years ago, or who have permission to commute from their parent's home, if within the approved commuter radius of 40 miles. Should you have further questions about this policy, please direct them to University Housing.
