For Current and Transfer Students
Frequently Asked Questions
On-campus housing priority is given to first-year students. However, University Housing partners with multiple outside apartment complexes to provide additional housing options to returning and transfer students.
When does the contracting process open for returning and transfer students?
Students begin contracting at 10 a.m. on Oct. 8, 2024. More than 1,000 off-campus beds managed by University Housing will be offered to students.
Will I be able to complete my contract fully?
Yes, once you have signed the contract and paid the $240 pre-payment, you will have housing for the 2025-2026 academic year. Room selection will begin in late February for apartment spaces.
Where will I be able to live next year as a returning or transfer student?
University Housing worked with partners in the Fayetteville community to provide additional apartment community housing along with limited amounts of spaces on-campus. When looking for partner properties, University Housing prioritizes closeness to campus, community development and proximity to the campus bus routes.
Currently, University Housing has agreements with The Marshall, the Cardinal and the Locale apartments for housing space.
Room spaces at the Cardinal apartments will be primarily one- and two-bedroom spaces. Locations at the Marshall and Locale apartments will be four-bedroom units with either two or four bathrooms.
How much will housing cost for apartments managed by University Housing next year?
The 2025-2026 academic year rates are approved by the Board of Trustees and will be posted on the Housing website by June 15, 2025.
What if I want to live in a fraternity or sorority house next year?
We encourage you to speak with your fraternity or sorority leadership as soon as possible about your 2025-2026 academic year housing options.
