Room measurements are approximate measurements. Height measurements are made floor to top of furniture piece. Furniture measurements are universal for all rooms but room dimensions will differ between single and double occupancy rooms.

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

1. 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.
2. After acceptance to UNG, students must confirm their attendance through the Check Application Status page.
3. New students should check their UNG e-mail account for a housing portal notification from Residence Life. 
4. Housing contracts, room selection, and roommate selection are all available through the UNG housing portal. Deadlines for housing are communicated through email.

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

1. Residence Life will notify current residents via e-mail before the housing contract process opens.  
2. 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. 
3. 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.

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.

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.

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.

UNG Suite-style housing (NG Suites, The Commons, non-cadet students in Patriot Hall) is open during university holidays and breaks. Academic year contracts for Suite-style housing end the Sunday following graduation each spring.  Separate summer housing contracts are available for NG Suites for students who are taking summer classes.

Full-time students who have not earned 60 semester hours and do not meet one of the exceptions to the Residence Policy must live on campus.
