Housing and Dining Contracts
Enter PortalIn order to live in University Housing, a student must be registered at the University and must be at least 17 years of age at the time of commencement of his/her residence hall occupancy. Requests for exceptions to the minimum age requirement may be submitted to University Housing Services for review by the director. Admission and/or enrollment to the University does not guarantee eligibility for on-campus housing. If you have any questions, please contact University Housing Services at (309) 438-8611.
Beginning on October 4, 2017 at 8:30 a.m., newly admitted students for the spring 2018 semester can begin the University Housing online application process and submit their contracts through the online portal. While there is no deadline for submitting the university housing contract, admission to the University does not guarantee a space in on-campus housing.
