    Returner Student Housing Application Process

    • Want to live on campus?
      When the housing portal opens, all NEW students who apply for housing will be charged a $150 non-refundable application fee once the housing application is submitted.
      • Current residents will have approximately one week to find preferred roommate(s), communicate with each other to determine where they want to live, and prepare for the opening of the residence hall and room selection process. Housing applications for returning students open in February. Watch your UNG email for an invitation to apply.
      • All housing is offered on a first come, space available basis and Residence Life does not guarantee a particular residence hall, room style or preferred roommates. Housing typically meets capacity in March for returning students and students will be waitlisted and offered housing as cancellations occur.
      • Residence Life will open the room selection process in stages after housing applications have been submitted on the portal.
      • Students will log in to the housing portal and choose a residence hall and room then complete the contract process. Students will have to complete the process and sign the housing contract in order to be guaranteed housing.
      • If you have an accepted roommate, you will be able to place them in a room with you at this time on a space available basis.
      • There will be a limited amount of beds for seniors and juniors and Residence Life has taken into consideration preferences for upperclassmen.
    • Are you eligible to live off campus?

      If you are a full-time student who has not earned 60 semester hours you must live on campus.

      Students may live off campus if:

      • students live with and commute daily from the permanent legal residence of parent(s) or
      • grandparent(s) within a fifty-mile radius from campus
      • married or divorced
      • 21 years of age or older
      • have completed two years of successful active military service
    • Are you not currently eligible to live off campus?

      If you do not meet one of requirements listed above you will need to apply for a waiver of the residence policy. In order to be eligible you will need to be able to document your unique hardship.

    • What if I apply and no bed is available?

      If no bed is available at the time you apply, Residence Life will place you on a waiting list and will work to offer you housing as cancellations occur.

    • What are the chances of getting in my preferred Residence Hall?

      The greater the number of credit hours you have completed, the higher your chances of selecting your preferred housing. Historically, we understand that there is a high demand of housing for upperclassmen students in Owen Hall, and the majority of these beds will be reserved for current upperclassmen.

    • I do not have a preferred a roommate, can I just go through and complete a contract?

      You are not required to match with a roommate if you choose not to do so. However, you would not be eligible to choose a bed until room selection opens.
