New Student Process

Applying for Housing

The housing process for new UE students begins after you send in your admission deposit.

Starting in early March, any student who has paid their admission deposit will receive a message from the Office of Residence Life. This message will include information on how to access UE's online application materials for housing and meal plans on Self-Service (you will need your UE username and password that you previously set up). A $75 non-refundable housing registration fee will be collected when signing up for housing each year.

There is something for everyone. Prior to signing up for housing, we invite you to explore our residence halls.

Housing assignments and move-in information:

  • Final housing assignments with building placement, room number, and roommate information will be available on Self-Service during the second week of June.
  • You will receive an email once housing assignments are uploaded to Self-Service.
  • If you are on a payment plan and are assigned to a hall that has a different rate or change your meal plan with a different rate, contact the Office of Student Financial Services to make any necessary adjustments.
