Frequently Asked Housing Registration Questions

Do I have to be committed to the UO in order to register for housing?

No, you can still be making your decision on whether or not to become a Duck. If your plans change, you can cancel your housing registration by June 1 and get a full refund of the initial housing payment. 

When am I assigned my room and roommate?

You will get to select your own room in July! Registering early will give you more options and priority when it comes time for room selection. You will be able to select any residence hall or room available at that time. 

Roommate browsing and requests opens in June. More information will be sent to you when we invite you to create your roommate profile in May. You can request someone you already know, browse roommates that match with you based on your answers to the lifestyle questions in the housing registration, or browse roommates based on a specific lifestyle question. 

Are first year students required to live on campus?

All first-year students at the UO live on campus. Living on campus for at least your first year is a significant advantage that contributes to your success at the University of Oregon. You will be part of a community and make connections with other students, faculty, and staff. Living on campus also connects you to services that support you as you transition to college life. Studies show that first-year full-time students who live on campus have higher GPAs, stay in school in higher numbers, and graduate faster.

If I am in an Academic Residential Community or Residential Community, does my roommate also have to be in that same community?

Yes, living in a community means your roommate must also be a part of that same community. 

Can I defer the $350 initial housing payment?

Students who qualify and choose to waive their admission application fee may also choose to defer their initial housing payment—this means the $350 initial housing payment will go to your fall term bill and may be covered by financial aid or scholarships.

For those who qualify, an option to defer will be included in the online payment registration process. Deferrals have the same financial commitment as payments and must follow the same cancellation guidelines. Please contact University Housing for more information.
