2024/2025 Housing Information for students not in the First-year or Rising Sophomore Student Groups

For Fall 2024/Spring 2025, there will be approximately 3,700 rentable bed spaces in the 7 residential communities. Of the 3,700 beds, approximately 50% of the beds will be for newly admitted first-year students and 50% will be for rising sophomore students and above.

As seen around the nation, demand for on-campus housing is extremely high. The University desires to house all students who wish to live on campus but with such high demand, the University must focus on those students who need on-campus housing while they are first establishing connections and getting acclimated to campus and the community. With this in mind Housing and Residence Life began accepting housing contracts from admitted first-year students and rising sophomores for Fall 2024/Spring 2025 on January 16, 2024. 

At 12 noon EST on March 4, 2024 Housing and Residence Life will expand access beyond these initial two groups and begin accepting housing contracts from other students through the myHousing portal.  Any student who will be registered for Fall 2024 classes at UNF who has a desire to live on-campus for the 24/25 academic year, should review the following information carefully in preparation for March 4^th:

3/4/24 1:30PM UPDATE: After accepting approximately 400 housing contracts on March 4, 2024, Housing and Residence Life, as previously communicated, stopped accepting additional housing contracts from rising sophomore students and above. The myHousing portal operated as expected during the time period when housing contracts were being accepted. Those students who successfully submitted a housing contract on March 4th will be able to access myHousing to submit a Living-Learning Community application after 9am on March 5th if they are interested in an LLC for 24/25.

Please note the following:

• Students registered with the Student Accessibility Center (SAC) follow the same timeline and process as listed above to submit a housing contract on March 4th. A student’s identified housing-related accommodation for the current or for any previous semester (room-type, location, etc.) is not reviewed until a housing contract has been submitted and the student has received a direct e-mail verification from Housing and Residence (March 13th) as to whether or not they are eligible for the online room selection process. If deemed eligible for online room selection based on the date and time of their housing contract submission, Housing and Residence Life will work directly with the student prior to the online room selection process to work towards an appropriate bed assignment.
  
  
• Once a student fully submits a housing contract, the student can refresh their browser and submit a Living-Learning Community (LLC) application. For LLC information visit https://www.unf.edu/housing/llc/index.html
  
  
• When bed space demand is higher than bed space availability, Housing and Residence Life may utilize a standby list to assign students to bed spaces that may open up through contract cancellations after room selection is complete and continuing into the Fall 2024 semester. The standby list process details will be released in April 2024.
  
  
• 2/23/24 UPDATE: Based on anticipated demand Housing and Residence Life will release standby list process details on March 13, 2024. The process to request to be added to the standby list will begin at 12 noon EST on Wednesday, March 27, 2024.
  
  For students who are unable to submit a housing contract March 4th and/or participate in the online room selection process in April 2024, Housing and Residence Life and the Dean of Students Office have partnered with College Pads to provide the UNF community with a resource to assist with the search for off-campus housing. The platform provides a vibrant map of the area with a view of local off-campus properties, filter features to help a student narrow the search by pricing, bedrooms, amenities, etc. For more information visit https://www.unf.edu/deanofstudents/care-services/off-campus-housing.html
  
  
• Students currently residing in Osprey Fountains, Osprey Village and The Flats at UNF for Spring 2024 are not guaranteed the ability to reassign themselves to their current bed space for 2024/2025, this includes students currently participating in Living-Learning Communities within any community.
  
  Of the students who have been identified as eligible for the online room selection process via the March 13, 2024 e-mail notifications, Housing and Residence Life will identify those who are currently assigned to Osprey Fountains, Osprey Village and The Flats at UNF in Spring 2024 bed spaces and Housing and Residence Life will preassign them to their current bed space. However, not all bed spaces will be eligible to be preassigned as there will be spaces identified for use by the department to include, but not limited to, medical/disability accommodations, Living-Learning Communities and department student staffing needs. Housing and Residence Life reserves the right to make all determinations as to what space will be eligible to be preassigned or not. If a student is preassigned to one of these communities, the student will have the opportunity to keep or alter their preassigned space during the online room selection process. Students that have been preassigned will be notified of their assignment status via e-mail prior to the online room selection process beginning.
  
  
• The UNF Housing Contract for the 24/25 academic year establishes a legal and binding agreement as soon as it is submitted. With this in mind Housing and Residence Life encourages students to carefully review the full terms and conditions, including the following cancellation timeline and associated fees:
