- Filling out an application and paying the non-refundable $75 application fee does NOT guarantee housing nor fully commit you to living on campus. There is a refundable deposit required for occupancy that is due with the signing of a housing contract. Only students who have been assigned a room will receive a housing contract.
- Applications with no proof of payment will be removed from our system.
- Roommate preference: Their name must be spelled correctly, and they must also list you as a roommate preference to show the mutual agreement. We cannot guarantee you will be placed with your roommate preference. We also do not guarantee roommate/suitemate compatibility.
- Emails with your room assignments, roommates, meal plans, etc. are sent out on a scheduled basis. The timeline is listed below.
- Any changes you need to make to your Housing application or questions can be either emailed to Housing@uafs.edu or by calling the Housing Office, 479-788-7340. It is the applicant鈥檚 responsibility to cancel their housing application or housing contract in writing. Canceling admission to the school does not automatically cancel housing.
- Any requested changes made to one鈥檚 assignment preferences after they have been assigned will place that request at the date of the request and not from the original application date.
- Fall applications received by April 1 have the highest likelihood of receiving the room and roommate of their choice.
A student receives email notification once a room assignment has been made. The student will then log-in to complete their housing contract and pay their $200 deposit. Their notification will clearly explain how to complete these steps within two weeks of receipt of the room assignment email. If the contract and deposit are not received by the due date listed in the email, the room assignment will be canceled.

- First Round: If the application is received by April 30, the student will have a room assignment by May 15.
- Second round: If the application is received by Jan. 1, the student will have a room assignment before the spring move-in date.
Thereafter, room assignments will be made within three (3) business days as applications are received.
