Student Life
Residency Policy
In accordance with University policy, all students are required to live in the Upper Iowa University residence halls during their four years college. The residence hall facilities are equipped to accommodate comfortably the majority of students needing housing.
Exceptions to the residence hall policy are very limited and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The following are the exceptions:
- Commuting from parent(s) home
- Married
- Enrolled for the fifth (5th) semester of college
- A veteran of the Armed Services
- Twenty-two (22) years of age or older before September 1
- Students living in real estate located in Fayette and owned by the parent or student
Students are normally assigned two per room in the residence halls. Those who request single rooms will be accommodated when rooms are available, at an additional room charge.
All returning on-campus students must fill out a housing contract during the spring of each year for the subsequent fall semester. The Resident Housing and Boarding Contract will be mailed to new students. Housing is available to students throughout the year, except for the winter break.
All students will be charged a security deposit of $100 for the academic year. This deposit is refundable, provided that students follow the proper checkout procedures and have no outstanding University debts. Any debts exceeding the amount of the deposit will be billed to the student. Deposits will be carried forward to the next academic year for returning students. New students will be assigned rooms in the residence halls upon receipt of the deposit. The University reserves the right to make housing adjustments when necessary.
