First-Year Student Housing Information for 2024/2025
Demand for on-campus bed space for first-year students is extremely high.
The 2024/2025 UNF Housing Contract for the upcoming academic year will be released in myHousing for admitted first-year students for Summer 2024 and Fall 2024 on Tuesday, January 16, 2024 at 12 noon EST.
Any admitted first-year student who has a desire to live on-campus for the 2024/2025 academic year should submit their housing contract as soon as possible, but no later than May 15, 2024.
Please note, submission of a UNF Housing Contract does not guarantee a bed assignment. The earlier a student fully completes all steps of the housing contract submission process in myHousing, which includes the submission of a one-time $100.00 processing fee, the higher priority the student has to participate in the on-line room selection process. A student failing to participate in scheduled on-line room selection processes greatly lowers any priority to receive a bed space.
The process to ultimately receive a bed assignment is a multiple step process and requires students to take specific required actions.
STEP 1 (Required):
Fully submit the 2024/2025 Housing Contract in myHousing as early as possible
Students submitting their first housing contract will be required to submit a one-time non-refundable $100.00 processing fee to fully submit their housing contract
Please note, submission of a UNF Housing Contract does not guarantee a bed assignment. The earlier a student fully completes all steps of the housing contract submission process in myHousing, the higher priority the student has to participate in the on-line room selection process.
STEP 2 (Optional):
Following submission of the 2024/2025 Housing Contract in myHousing, complete the Living-Learning Community application
