WELCOME TO CAMPUS HOUSING
We’re excited to welcome you to campus housing at the University of Arizona! To help make your transition to college life as smooth as possible, please return to this page throughout the summer and check your student email regularly for important updates!
ONLINE PRE-ARRIVAL CHECK-IN
Beginning later this summer, you can log in to My UAHome to complete your Pre-Arrival Online Check-In.
During Online Check-In, you will:
- Select your Move-In day and time
- Review and agree to the Policies for Dorm Living
- Provide a few final details
- Download and print your unloading dash pass
⚠ Important: Online Check-In is required for all students and must be completed before you arrive on campus, including students approved for early arrival. Completing this step in advance helps make your check-in process faster and smoother when you arrive at your dorm.
PREPARING FOR MOVE-IN
As Move-In approaches, you’ll receive helpful emails with additional details, including dorm-specific unloading and parking maps.
Move-In communications will be sent to:
- Your U of A student email
- Your personal email
- Any alternate contacts listed in your housing application
Note: Sorority and fraternity recruitment events will take place AFTER classes begin. Students who are participating in recruitment will move into their assigned dorm during their selected Move-In day and time.
Information about Move-In — including unloading/parking maps and dorm-specific information— can be found here. You’ll also find a helpful “What to Bring / What Not to Bring” checklist.
Students living in a suite, pod, or room with a private restroom are responsible for cleaning their own bathroom and should bring their own toilet paper and cleaning supplies. A list of suggested bathroom items can be found here.
Honors Village residents: A separate checklist for bathroom and kitchen items is available here.
ASSIGNMENTS
The University cannot and will not consider any request for room/roommate change when that request is based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, perceived socio-economic status, or perceptions based on online profiles or information found on these profiles.
ROOMMATES
Your room assignment will be available in your housing application in My UAHome. Even if you have already viewed your room assignment, please re-check it before you arrive. Click on Undergraduate Housing Applications in the portal menu. Roommate information is available on your Application Status page. You can send a message to your roommate(s) from that page.
If no roommate information is displaying on your Application Status page in My UAHome:
- you have not yet been assigned a roommate; or
- the student originally assigned as your roommate has cancelled their housing*
*Your roommate could change between now and your arrival if your current roommate cancels their housing. In a situation like this, another student will be assigned to your room, and their information will then appear on your Application Status page. No additional notice will be sent to you.
PAYMENT PLANS & RENTS
During your Pre-Arrival Online Check-In, you can enroll in an optional rent payment plan in My UAHome.
If your financial aid covers some or all housing costs, and your rent has not been posted at the time financial aid is applied to your account, you may receive a financial aid distribution check. You will still need to pay your rent and should use this check to pay it. Payment is due by the first day of classes, August 24. You can review your account and make payments in UAccess by logging into your Student Center.
MOVE-IN: THE BIG DAY
More information about the Move-In process by dorm will be posted here and shared with incoming residents and their families via emails sent later in the summer.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE ON CAMPUS TO MOVE-IN
Please go directly to your dorm. We encourage you to please review unloading/parking maps and dorm-specific information.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW?
Late Arrivals
If you are planning to arrive after 7 p.m. on Sunday, August 23, please contact Housing at 520-621-6501 or housing@arizona.edu. If we don't hear from you, you will be considered a no-show and your housing assignment would become subject to cancellation.
Temporary Housing
Please be aware that to accommodate as many students as possible at the beginning of the school year, we accept more students than our capacity and house them in temporary spaces inside the dorms. Students who may be in Temporary Housing at the start of the year have been notified.
Cancellation
If you no longer plan to live in campus housing, please click on the ‘Cancel Housing Application’ link in My UAHome and follow the prompts to cancel your Undergraduate 2026-2027 housing application.
Contact Us
If you have any questions, please contact us at (520) 621-6501 or housing@arizona.edu. Our phones are open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.– 4 p.m., Arizona time.
AUTHORIZED EARLY ARRIVAL GROUPS
Each year, we work with a variety of campus partners to approve select early Move-In groups. Early Move-In fees may apply. All students — including those in approved early Move-In groups — must complete the Online Pre-Arrival Check-In process. If you have questions about your early Move-In, please contact your group directly.
Please check back for more information about early Move-In groups.
