Home Application & Room Reservation Timelines

2024-2025  ACADEMIC YEAR

Click below to see a summary of our timelines for First-Year and Upper Division housing applications. For all the details, including links, exact dates and times for receiving housing offers, roommate matching, and more, please scroll down.

Transfer students can apply for upper-division or first-year housing. If you are not sure which housing option might be best for you, consider the definitions we give in the Housing U application:

  • Housing & Residential Education (HRE) typically designates buildings for first-year, upper-division, and graduate students. First-year students live in first-year buildings and upper-division and graduate students are in upper-division buildings.
  • "First-Year" means you are in your first year at the University of Utah and are under 21 years of age.
  • "Upper-division" means this is not your first year at the University of Utah, or you are transferring with one or more years of post-high school credit from another institution, or are 21 years of age or older.
  • Graduate means you are enrolled in a graduate or professional program.
