While there is no deadline to apply for Daniels and Sherman, space is limited as we continue to make assignments until the residence halls are filled. The University Housing Information Office keeps track of the number of vacancies for all of our halls and also coordinates room assignments.
Students are assigned in the order their contracts are received. Hall assignments are made based on space availability and the preferences you have chosen.
Spring 2010 room assignments will be sent to your Illinois email account during the last week of December.
Fall 2010 area assignments will be sent to your Illinois email account beginning in early June. The area assignment will include more Housing information and great tips on preparing to move in to your new home. Beginning in late July, you will be able to log into MyHousing to view your room and roommate information. International students will receive all correspondence by email.
Room Changes
Now that the assignment process has begun, room or building changes may be difficult. Room and/or building changes can be considered after the first two weeks of the semester, on a space-available basis and with the appropriate approval. Submit a room change request.
Meal Plan Changes
Making a change to your meal plan is easy—simply submit a change request. Meal plans can be changed before the contract begins or you may wait until after you arrive on campus. During the fall semester, you may change to any meal plan up to two times between August 20 and September 23, 2009. After September 23, your meal plan may not be changed again until spring semester 2010. For the spring, you may change until February 3, 2010.
Sherman Hall is open during the fall, winter, and spring break periods, but is closed during the summer. Daniels is open year round, including break periods. Most residents who need summer housing request the 12-month option at Daniels. Twelve-month contracts run from mid-August to mid-August. Eligible rooms are identified in the Room Reassignment system when viewing Daniels Hall.
If you wish to cancel your University Residence Hall contract based upon one of the reasons listed in section 4 of the Contract (pdf), you can complete the online contract cancelation form and send supporting documentation to the Housing Information Office (e.g., letter from your department verifying graduation, study abroad, or co-op). You will forfeit your $150 advance payment if you cancel after May 15 (or December 1 for the spring semester). If you are not canceling your contract for one of the reasons approved in section 4 of the Contract, you are subject to a $1,000 cancellation settlement charges.
