Complete Contract

As soon as you decide to attend UWG, we recommend that you complete your Housing Contract for the best chance at your first preference. You will not select your own room, but we will use your submitted preferences—room type, building, roommate(s), and more—when making assignments.

Choose Your Roommate

When completing your Housing Contract, you’ll be able to indicate whether you want to create or join a roommate group. Roommate groups can include two or four students, and all members must confirm each other in the Housing Portal. If you don’t join a group, you’ll be matched with roommates who share similar preferences, lifestyles, and interests.

Housing Assignment Dates

First year students will be assigned to their space based on preference of space type and roommates when available (not guaranteed). Room assignments will be made in order of contract submission date

Contract Submission	Room Assignment Available
November 3-April 30	May 2026
May 1-May 30	June 2026
June 1-beyond	July - August 2026

Are first-year students required to live on campus?

Yes. Students coming from more than 30 miles away are expected to live on campus. The residence halls remain open between the fall and spring semesters. Summer housing is available in specific buildings for students who need to remain on campus. If you believe you qualify for an exception, review details and apply on our Residency Requirement Exemption page.

What are my chances of getting the housing assignment I want?

We make every effort to place students according to their preferences. Unfortunately, not everyone can receive their first choice because spaces are limited. Keep an open mind regarding hall assignments, as each hall has a positive atmosphere with unique characteristics. Rank your choices based on your highest priorities and sign early.

How do I join a roommate group?

Start Your Contract: Log in to the UWG Housing Portal and begin your Housing Contract.
Create or Join a Group: Select “Create a Roommate Group” to be the group leader, or select “Join a Roommate Group” if another student is creating the group.
Invite Roommates: Group leaders can invite roommates by entering their UWG ID numbers.
Confirm Your Group: Each student must log in and confirm the group in their Housing Portal for it to be valid.
Finalize Together: Once all members have confirmed, your group is locked in and ready for room assignment during the selection process.

Accessibility and Testing Services

UWG Housing is committed to ensuring every student feels at home on campus. We partner with the Office of Accessibility and Testing Services to provide housing accommodations, including accessible spaces, room adjustments, and individualized support. Our goal is to create a welcoming, barrier-free environment where all Wolves can thrive.

Campus Involvement and Events

UWG Housing is at the center of Campus Life, offering students more than just a place to live. By living on campus, students are connected to events, traditions, and involvement opportunities that make UWG feel like home. From hall programs and leadership roles to large-scale events and campus-wide celebrations, Housing helps students build community, make lasting friendships, and fully experience life as part of the Pack.

University Police

UWG Housing partners closely with the University Police Department to keep our residential communities safe and secure. From 24/7 staff support and secure building access to routine patrols and emergency response, safety is our top priority. Living on campus means students have immediate access to support, resources, and a community committed to their well-being.
