Residence Hall Space is Limited for 2008-9

Due to an increase in the number of applicants this year, we anticipate that space in the UO residence halls will be limited for 2008-9.

Students who have not yet applied (the priority deadline was March 31, 2008) and wish to live in the residence halls may still apply, however, they should note that they will be placed on a waiting list and only offered a residence hall space if, and when, space becomes available.

We encourage students who have not yet applied for University Housing to also explore other housing options in the Eugene area.

Alternative housing options can be researched via the following:

Online Application

If you are an admissions applicant, you can apply online using DuckWeb once you've received your UO ID number and PAC number supplied in letter from Admissions. To apply online you will need to pay the $30 application fee electronically, either with a major credit card or an electronic check.

  • DuckWeb (online residence hall application)
Please note: Law and AEI applicants do not have early access to DuckWeb, and thereby should complete either a paper or PDF form.


PDF/Paper Application

All applicants to the university will be mailed Housing brochures and application materials within two weeks of applying for admission to the university. Each years application process is slightly different as we expand our services and options to residents.

Winter Term Applicants

Housing applications will be sent to you within a week of your admissions application being processed. There is no deadline for returning the housing application. Or you can apply online using Duckweb once you've received your UO ID number and PAC number supplied in a letter from Admissions.

Housing contracts for winter term will be mailed to the earliest applicants on a space available basis beginning in early November. Room assignments are given at check-in.

Spring Term Applicants

Housing applications will be sent to you within a week of your admissions application being processed. There is no deadline for returning the housing application. Or you can apply online using Duckweb once you've received your UO ID number and PAC number supplied in a letter from Admissions.

Housing contracts for spring term will be mailed to the earliest applicants on a space available basis beginning in early February. Room assignments are given at check-in.

* Waiting List

If you are not among the earliest applicants for housing or you fail to return your signed contract, you will be placed on a waiting list. Being on a waiting list does not guarantee that you will receive a housing assignment but does increase your chances of receiving an assignment if space in the residence halls becomes available. If spaces are not likely to become available, the housing office will notify you in writing in August.
