Prospective Students

HOW TO APPLY FOR UNIVERSITY HOUSING

All housing contracts are done online using the same URSA login information that you use to login to your email. New freshmen and transfer students who have submitted an on-line housing & dining contract prior to February 15th, can log back into their housing & dining contract after April 1st to view their hall assignment.

Before starting please note

The date your contract and deposit are received is the “priority date” for your assignment. Hall and room placements are based on your “priority date” and space availability. Priorities for hall assignments are determined in the following order: roommate, special living options, then residence hall. This means that Roommate requests are considered over hall requests. Also, while we make every effort to honor your hall or roommate request we can not guarantee these placements.

Online Application

1. Start the online application process by reading the information, including meal plan requirements, on the Prospective Students page of the Housing & Residence Life website.
2. If you’re going to choose a Residential Learning Community, you should visit Residential Learning Communities before continuing.
3. Open the Online Housing & Dining Contract, enter your URSA (PDID - personal digital identification) account login information and click on Submit. If you haven't activated your URSA account, follow the instructions at the top of the contract page to activate it.
4. Read the short introduction and click Enter to start the contract process.
5. Read the Housing Contract Terms and Conditions. If you are under age 18 at the time you agree to the terms and conditions, it is inferred by submitting your contract that your parents are also in agreement.
6. Review your student information for accuracy. If corrections are necessary please contact the Registrar’s Office at 970-351-2231 or address corrections can be made by logging into your URSA account.
7. List your hall preferences in priority order. If you are choosing a Residential Learning Community, make sure you choose the hall where the community is located.
8. If you have a roommate request, list that person’s UNC email address in the space indicated. Both contracts should be submitted to Housing & Residence Life as close to the same date as possible. Roommate requests are honored on a space-available basis. The last contract received establishes the “priority date” for both students.
9. If you have any special needs or medical requirements that Housing & Residence Life should consider, please note them in the feedback portion of the contract and mail an explanation and supporting documentation to the address provided on the payment voucher received at the end of the contract process.
10. Provide the required $250 deposit by selecting either Pay Later or Pay by Credit Card. If you choose to pay later, your contract will be processed on the day the deposit is received in our office.
11. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to your UNC e-mail address once your contract is received. If you do not receive a confirmation e-mail, please contact us.

Requests are honored on a priority date availability basis. If you have questions regarding on-campus housing, contact us.
