The 2024/2025 UNF Housing Contract for the upcoming academic year will be released in myHousing for Rising Sophomore Students on Tuesday, January 16, 2024 at 12 noon EST.
Any RISING SOPHOMORE 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 FEBRUARY 16, 2024.
Please note, the timeline for RISING SOPHOMORES to submit a 2024/2025 Housing Contract and take advantage of the initial priority is very tight - SUBMIT NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 16, 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 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.

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

Preparing for Room Selection
Between now and April 2024, Rising Sophomores with a completed housing contract will need to ensure they have read and completed the following, as applicable:
- Ensure ALL room and roommate preferences within myHousing are up to date.
- Search AND mutually accept your desired roommate(s) in myHousing. Please note the following:
- Both you AND your desired roommate(s) must be in the same Roommate Group to be considered as a mutual request.
- It is important to be pro-active in accepting or declining roommates within myHousing to prevent any issues during the Room Selection process.
- Some rooms/apartments/suites and/or individual bed spaces may not be available for assignment during the room selection process due to Living-Learning Communities, Theme Housing, ADA needs, etc. Housing and Residence Life will communicate directly with students impacted by their space being unavailable prior to the on-line room selection process.
