Live the Illini Life to the fullest for the next school year! Check out all the info you need to complete the process. New this year, University Housing will have a cap on the number of returning students who can sign up. Once that cap is reached, we will open a waitlist.

Housing Sign-Up Phases

Current Residents

Same Room Phase | October 15 at 1 p.m. through October 20 at 11:59 p.m.
If you live in an undergraduate residence hall or Daniels or Sherman Hall, you may log on and select your same room only. During this time, no other room selections can be made. If you do not select your same room during this time, it will become available to other residents.

Special Priority Phase | October 22 at 1 p.m. through October 27 at 11:59 p.m.
This phase of Housing Sign-Up is available to hall residents whose current room is not available next year. Residents are notified by email and given special priority to choose any available space in any available hall. If you do not select a space by October 27, you can return to the Housing Sign-up site during later phases.

This phase is also reserved for residents in Daniels and Sherman to select a room in either Daniels or Sherman Hall. Note: Current undergraduate hall residents will be able to select a space in Daniels or Sherman Hall beginning October 29.

Any Room/Any Hall Phase | October 29 at 1 p.m. until full
Current residents may log on and select any available room in another hall. Students may also log on to change their meal plan, change rooms and add or change roommate preferences. This phase will continue until we reach our returning resident cap. Once we reach our cap, we will communicate that out and offer a waitlist option.

Off-Campus Residents

If availability of rooms allows, off-campus residents may self-select a room with University Housing after Spring Break.
