1. How to apply
On-campus housing is a very popular option, especially amongst first-year students. As soon as you are admitted, submit your housing application. Room assignments are made based on the date that the application and the $225 housing deposit are received by the Residence Life Office.
The Office of Residence Life at UIW hopes your stay in campus housing will compliment your total educational experience. There are a number of campus housing options available for you. Review the Residence Hall section to discover which option will best fit your lifestyle.

Step 3
Pay your $225 Housing Deposit.
Submit a check for $225, payable to University of the Incarnate Word for your housing deposit. Please note that submission of a housing deposit does not confirm your intent to enroll with the University. However, with the appropriate paperwork, it does reserve a bed space on campus. (Please be sure that you have also submitted your $200 matriculation deposit to the Admissions Office.)

3. How room assignments are determined
Some residence halls are more popular with returning students than others, so the amount of space available for new students varies in each hall. Returning residence hall students have priority in the room assignment process. As space is available, new students will be assigned to the halls and room types indicated on the Housing and Board Application.
If you want to room with a specific person, please be sure that both applications are sent to the Office of Residence Life at the same time. Roommate and suitemate choices will be honored before room choices. (Roommates and/or suitemates will be broken up only if there are no rooms available to accommodate the request). We will make every attempt to honor your preferences.
