UPDATES
2013-2014 NEW CONTRACT ASSIGNMENTS!
If you have been waiting to find out where you are living in Fall 2013, thank you for your patience. Part of the first round of assignments should be visible at www.uwm.edu/housing/myhousing at 1 PM CDT on June 17 (not all contract holders have been assigned yet). We do expect a large amount of server traffic when assignments are released, so be aware that MyHousing may have slow load times for the afternoon/evening of June 17th.
Contract Change Form
Kenilworth Residents who wish to make a change in their preferences may be able to do so prior to assignments being made. In addition, Residence Hall students may make a change to their meal plan preference. To make a change, residents should complete a Fall 2013 Contract Change Form, and submit it to University Housing as soon as possible.
The online preference change process has ended. If you are completing a Residence Hall Contract for the first time, you will only get once chance to make your room, roommate, and LLC preferences.

Are You Familiar with the UWM Residency Policy?
If you are an incoming freshman for Fall 2013, you should know that all first-time full-time freshmen are required to live in University Housing.
However, some exceptions to this policy exist.
Still, until you make a request to be exempt from the policy, you will receive all the normal Housing contract process communications. To learn more about the exceptions to the Residency Policy, including our new Residency Policy Toolkit, check out www.uwm.edu/housing/residency.
2013-14 Living Learning Communities
Our list of available LLCs for 2012-2013 has been updated! Please visit www.uwm.edu/livinglearning/choices to learn about what communities will be offered in 2013-2014. Living Learning Communities are a great way for residents to connect with other students who have similar interests. Students in LLCs live in the same area of their residence hall, and take a common class that is offered in that residence hall. LLCs work closely with faculty and student leaders to create opportunities to enhance their learning with hands-on activities outside the classroom.You will have an opportunity to select an LLC for 2013-2014 as part of the University Housing Contract Process.
