fall sign-up link has been available since
March 30.
Residents must pay their $125 housing
prepayment and submit their completed
housing contract on or before 11:59 p.m.,
April 23 to ensure priority in this process.

Fall hall sign-up begins
Spring 2016 residents are able to choose where they will live next fall.
Room sign-up for current residents is an online process allowing residents to select where
they will live for fall 2016.
Between March 31-April 23 residents pay their $125 housing prepayment (either online
or at the Bursar’s Office) and then complete their housing contract. Residents can pay
their $125 prepayment and submit a housing contract after April 24, but will lose priority
standing for hall sign-up. Returning residents may use our online application process
between March 30-April 23. After April 25, residents will be able to submit their housing
contract (online), but will have lost the priority for their same room.
Residents who submit their contract by April 23 “default” to the room they are in now and
have a number of opportunities to make a room change through the online link they
receive from Residential Living via their UW-Stevens Point email account and at our
department website.
If you’d like to read more about the hall sign-up process and the options available to
residents, please visit www.uwsp.edu/resliving and click on the link for hall sign-up in the
“News and Events” column. (The link will be available beginning March 30.)
UW Board of Regents’ policy requires all first-year and sophomore students to live in
residence halls at four-year UW schools. More information about that policy and
UW-Stevens Point’s interpretation can be found at www.uwsp.edu/resliving/pages/
faqspolicies/bor.aspx.
Suites@201 (accurate as of publication date)
Residential Living is still accepting applications for the Suites@201, our apartment-style
residence hall. Information about the Suites@201 can be found on our website at
www.uwsp.edu/resliving/pages/suites.aspx.
Applicants must have graduated from high school in or before 2014 AND must commit to
a full academic-year contract (they will not be able to opt out of their contract at the end
of the fall semester—an option available in our other halls).
If your student is eligible and is interested in living in this unique residence hall, please
have them contact our office at 715-346-3511.
Hyer Hall
Hyer Hall is a “traditional” residence hall in its design, providing single room
accommodations to individuals who will be 21 years of age or older before the first day of
classes for fall 2016. At this time a limited number of spaces remain.

Checkout tips
At the end of the semester, each student
must check out with a staff member
before departing for the summer. The
housing contract requires that residents
check out 24 hours after their last
final exam or by 10 a.m. on Saturday,
May 21, whichever is earlier.
Expect the checkout procedure to last
approximately 15-30 minutes. Please
remember staff are students too, and they
also have final exams and moving
responsibilities.
We appreciate your assistance with the
following when moving your student out
in May:
•
Remember study hours are in effect
during finals. When at all possible,
dismantle lofts during the week prior
to finals. Residents participating in
the loft rental program will receive
information from the loft company in
late spring on how to return their
rented loft.
Below are the telephone numbers for a
variety of university offices parents often
wish to contact.
•
Please keep vehicles off the grass
and sidewalks.

Remind your student to follow
checkout procedures. All residents
are required to complete paperwork,
return keys and thoroughly clean
their side of the room prior to
departing.

There are sites in each residence hall
where unwanted food items
(unopened) and clothing can be
placed. Volunteers pick up the items
and distribute them to local charities.
