Returning Student Assignment Consolidation

UND is experiencing increasing student enrollment and a higher demand for on-campus housing.

*Dates are subject to change

To meet the needs of all new students required to live on campus, and current students who have requested assignments for 2024-25, we must use all available housing spaces.

It is my hope that you participated in the Virtual Town Hall for returning students assigned to on-campus housing on April 23. We appreciated the conversation and the questions that were raised. If you were unable to attend you may view the recording. If you are unsure about what was communicated or still have questions, we will meet with you individually. Visit our booking page to choose a meeting time that works best for you.

Also discussed last evening, returning students in Brannon, McVey, Noren, Selke, and West assigned to double occupancy rooms will be reassigned to double occupancy units in University Place and Swanson Hall. Residents currently living in a room designed for single occupancy will not be reassigned.

We fully acknowledge the inconvenience of these reassignments and are offering the incentives listed below should you choose to be reassigned to University Place or Swanson Hall in a double occupancy room.

• Housing fee reduction of $3000 based on double occupancy in University Place and Swanson Hall.
  • The single occupancy rate for University Place was $6870. The double occupancy rate will be $3870.
  • The single occupancy rate for Swanson Hall was $6860. The double occupancy rate will be $3860.
• Dining Dollars in the amount of $200 ($100 per semester).
• Early access to purchase your parking permit for priority access to desired lots.
• Swanson Hall residents may purchase a ramp permit for $240. The normal price is $400.
• $50 waiver of Outpost Center Rental at the Student Wellness Center.

We know that all students may not choose to be reassigned. If you choose to opt out of the reassignment process, you will be released from your license agreement without financial penalty as outlined further below. For a better understanding of your license agreement, please visit your Apartment Style Housing License Agreement (Sections C and G) or Residence Hall Room and Meal Plan Agreement. These agreements provide information about UND's ability to make this decision when extenuating circumstances occur. 

Please indicate your preference to stay on campus for 2024-25 in Swanson Hall or University Place in a double occupancy unit at a greatly reduced rate, or request to be released from your license agreement by visiting the Housing Self Service portal and complete Consolidation Process (Fall 2024) under Applications and Forms.

Please notify us of your preference by Monday, May 20, 2024. If you do not indicate a preference by Monday, May 20, 2024, you will be included in the reassignment process.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to work to provide housing for all UND students.
