On-Campus Undergraduate Housing
Housing at UAF is in high demand, and not all applicants can be guaranteed space on campus. Students wishing to live in undergraduate housing are advised to apply at least a month proir to the date of move-in. Later applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis and there is no guarantee space will be available. Students applying for housing should be enrolled in a minimum of six (6) semester credits. UAF encourages all students to apply for admission prior to applying for housing.
How to Apply for On-Campus Housing
STEP 1) Review & Complete Housing Application
The 2012-2013 single student housing application is available in a downloadable PDF format. If you would like someone else to reserve your room for you, please fill out the "Proxy Form." Print the application. Please read the application carefully and then fill it out. You can fill it out using Acrobat, then print and sign the form prior to sending it in. Applications received by Residence Life that are not signed will not be processed. You will need Adobe Acrobat to open the application. For a free download of Adobe Acrobat please click here.
In order to process your application, the first 3 pages of the application must be completed and included when you send in your application. If you decide to have a land line connected to your campus room, you should complete the Telephone Agreement on page 4 of the agreement. If you will be living in the Residence Halls and are not a graduate student, you should also complete a Dining Services agreement with your meal plan preferences.
The application and information about housing and dining are part of the UAF Trail Guide, published by Admissions. We encourage you to review the entire Trailguide to make sure you don't skip a step!
STEP 2) Submit Housing Application, Room Deposit & Processing Payment
Send the application, room deposit and your processing payment to the Residence Life Office. Please send payments via check, money order, or provide credit card information via phone. You will receive written confirmation of acceptance and a receipt for your deposit.
STEP 3) Complete & Return Dining Services & Admissions Applications
