Note: First-year students are given priority for housing on the Orlando main campus. Students of all classifications may apply for student housing located at the Rosen College Apartments and NorthView. Married and family student housing is not available at UCF.
• No student is guaranteed housing on any campus, so each student is encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
• Students must be admitted to the University, but do not need to accept their admission to apply for housing.
• If applying to live on campus for a Summer semester, an additional application must be completed to live on campus starting in the Fall. Summer housing does not guarantee housing in the Fall.
• Be sure that you research and choose what application type is best for you - requesting and completing a new application type will impact the timeline of confirmation and assignment of a room selection appointment.
• Once it opens in February, students can utilize the Roommate Matching tool on the housing portal to search for other students, message to chat, and create roommate groups.
› Students may only live with other students who have been confirmed for housing in the same agreement type. Students may not switch application types to live with certain roommates without submitting a new application.
› Students will receive an email with an appointment date and time to make their room selection.
• Students in an Academic application type will be able to choose from rooms that are currently available during their appointment time in the Hercules, Nike, Neptune, Libra, Apollo, and Lake Claire communities.
• Students in the Towers, Northview, or Rosen application types will be able to choose from rooms that are currently available during their appointment times within each community.
› All rooms are selected on a first-comefirst served basis. Students are not guaranteed their preferred community or roommates.
