Housing Process

Future Students Application

Congratulations on being accepted to UMHB! Be sure to log in to myCampus and fill out your Housing Application. Access will be granted 2-3 business days after submitting your housing deposit.

Returning Student Housing Selection Process

Log-in instructions and information about the process will be sent via UMHB Email (@Cru.UMHB.edu). Make sure you check your UMHB Email account regularly.

You will be able to search for available rooms online in what is a "real-time availability" system. Any available room will be displayed for room selection. Some rooms will be blocked for other uses by the Residence Life Office and will not be visible.

Housing selection is an online process.

Read the information about each step in the selection process. Be sure to contact the Residence Life Office at (254) 295-4590 or residencelife@umhb.edu if you have any questions about how you will participate and secure housing for next semester.

Apartment Eligibility: Exceptions to the apartment eligibility policy (completed 48 hours and residing in traditional housing for one academic school year or be 21 or older) are based on overflow or documented medical necessity. An overflow is anticipated for fall, and all current residents can select an apartment space if one is available.

Eligibility

Residency Requirement

Freshmen and sophomores are required to live on campus unless they meet at least one of the criteria listed below.

• Living with a parent, guardian, or spouse
• Over the age of 21
• Completed 48 hours & reside in traditional housing for one academic school year
• Enrolled as a part-time student

Freshmen or sophomores who are not eligible to live off campus but wish to do so must submit an Application for Permission to Live Off-Campus form. These forms are available in the Residence Life Office, Suite 2220, 2nd floor of Bawcom Student Union.

Financial Requirement

To be eligible for an assignment, you must be in good standing on your student account. Anyone with a financial hold could be blocked from selecting space during Step Two. Check with the UMHB Bursar’s Office about your account status before the housing selection process opens if you have any questions about your standing.

Enrollment Requirement

To submit a housing application and occupancy license, you must be enrolled as a UMHB student and current resident. Undergraduate students are given priority for housing, but graduate students may be considered if space is available. All students living in campus housing are expected to be enrolled in a minimum of 12 hours per semester of occupancy.

Apartment Eligibility

UMHB policy states that you must be 21 or older or have 48 hours to be eligible to live in campus apartments. Exceptions are made to this policy based on documented medical necessity or anticipated overflow. For medical necessity, you must go through the accommodations process handled by Disability Services. That office is located on the third floor of the Mabee Student Success Center. Students with approved accommodations typically are given an early time slot for housing selection. To get an early time slot based on accommodation, the accommodation process needs to be completed by February 15. Check with the Residence Life Office to ensure that documentation is on file if it has been submitted for a prior semester.

Freshmen must live in traditional halls on campus unless they meet at least one of the criteria listed below.
