While there is no official deadline to submit requests for special accommodations, failure to request accommodations in a timely manner may result in a delay of services. Accommodation requests received by March 1st will receive priority assignment. We will continue to honor special accommodations as space and availability allow.
Freshmen Residency Requirement: Freshmen are required to live on campus for one academic year. Students eligible for exemption must submit an online Exemption Form. If you are requesting a residency exemption, you are encouraged to submit a form upon admission to the university. For more information and access to the Exemption Form, please click HERE.
You may request a specific roommate, identify someone based on preferences, or be matched at random by Housing & Residence Life. The roommate matching priority deadline is March 1st.
Please note that all residential students must purchase a meal plan. See the chart below for 2023-2024 Residential Meal Plan Options & Rates. (2024-2025 plans and rates will be posted in March 2024)

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I cancel my application/contract after I submit it? The application and contract is for one academic year (residence halls) and one calendar year (apartments), but if you decide against attending UNA (don't because we're really looking forward to you being here) then your contract will be void and you will not be responsible for payment if cancelled by July 1st.
- How do I request a specific person as my roommate? You may select a roommate within the system using their personalized code.
- When will I find out what my assignment is? We will begin distributing assignments in April 2024 and continuing through July 2024. Check out the timeline tab above for more details.
- Where will you send my assignment? Understanding your UNA email is half the key to your success. Check it daily. That's where we send the good stuff!
