Housing Contract Information

Newly admitted Fall 2016 students

New UNG students may apply for a housing contract by completing the following steps:

Apply for admission at UNG as a residential student or contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to request a change to residential status if the student originally applied to UNG as a commuting student.
After acceptance to UNG, students must pay a $200 confirmation deposit via their Banner account to reserve a space in classes for the fall.
New students should check their UNG e-mail account and/or the personal e-mail account with which they applied to the university for a housing portal notification from Residence Life. Please note that we anticipate the housing portal for 2017-2018 will open for new students during the month of February 2017.
Housing contracts, room selection, and roommate selection are all available through the UNG housing portal.

Current UNG students

Current UNG students may apply for a housing contract by completing the following steps:

Housing for 2017-2018 will open mid-February 2017. Residence Life will notify current residents via e-mail and the Residence Life website before the housing contract process opens.
Current residents living on campus as of spring 2017 will have an exclusive opportunity to complete housing contracts through March 31. Please note that per UNG's Residence Policy, students who are freshmen and sophomores are required to live on campus. Students who believe that they have a unique hardship may request a waiver to the Residence Policy through the Dean of Students Office.
After March 31, any other UNG student may complete a housing contract.
Please note that housing contracts are binding once completed. Students wishing to cancel a housing contract should consult the cancellation terms in their housing contract as termination fees will likely apply.

FAQs

Living on Campus

Can I move into my room early/late?

The residence halls open at designated times for each semester. Residents are not allowed to move in early. Each student is expected to move in at their assigned time.

What items should I bring with me?

You should bring items that will make you feel most comfortable in your room. However, remember that you will be sharing this space with another person. Also, there are items not allowed in the UNG Residence Halls. You may access What To Bring, a list of recommended items to bring, a list of items provided in the residence hall and room, and a list of items prohibited in the UNG residence halls.

What happens if I do not like my roommate?

Most residents self-select their roommates through the UNG Housing Portal. For students who do not self-select, the Residence Life Staff puts a lot of effort into assigning compatible roommates, and we ask you to make every effort to work out minor issues. However, in either case, there are several opportunities during the year for a student to find a new roommate and change rooms.

Can I stay on campus during the holidays or breaks?

UNG Suite-style housing (NG Suites, The Commons, non-cadet students in Patriot Hall) is open during university holidays and breaks.
