For 2026-2027 Housing*
There are so many great reasons to live on campus – you’ll do better in school, make lifelong friends, get the support to succeed, and live where everything is happening. Apply for housing starting January 2026, once you have been admitted to The University of Arizona and have paid your Admissions Enrollment Fee. If you apply before April 1, you’ll have more dorms to choose from during Room Selection.
Note: If you try to apply later in our process, the dorms may be full. New students are not required to live on campus, and housing is not guaranteed. Fall housing applications are for the entire academic year (August-May).
