Applying For Housing

The 2025-2026 Housing Application is OPEN!

We are so excited for you to join us for the 2025-2026 Academic Year beginning in August 2025! The first step to living in UCA on-campus Housing is by completing the 2025-2026 Academic Year Housing Application. 

Incoming Freshmen Students

We strongly recommend reviewing the Freshmen Living Learning Communities PRIOR to completing the 2025-2026 Housing Application. You will be asked to list your top four residence hall preferences!

Freshmen Living Learning Communities


We know that completing the Housing Application can bring up lots of questions. Please review the Step by Step Guide on how to apply for housing, as well as our Frequently Asked Questions page!

Returning Students

We would LOVE for you to return to UCA Housing next year! The Upperclassmen Housing Options have a lot of variety and privacy compared to the freshmen residence halls.

Upperclassmen Housing Options


The upperclassmen application process is slightly different than that of the freshmen application process in that upperclassmen are able to participate in the DIBS (choose your same room) and Pick-a-Room processes in March and April! Please review the ‘Re-Apply for On-Campus Housing’ page for more information.
