Things to know and do before you apply for Housing for Spring Semester 2010
myUT Housing is an online system that allows single, undergraduate students that have been admitted to the University of Toledo to complete an online housing application, make payments, search for and reserve a room, and search for and select a roommate.
myUT Housing is accessed through the myUT portal at http://myut.utoledo.edu. Log into your myUT portal using your UT username and password. If you need assistance with your username and password, log on to http://myut.utoledo.edu/myut/myut_loginhelp.html.
You can check your application status on the left-hand side of myUT housing. Make sure to pay a $200 pre-payment fee and $40 non-refundable application fee, if applicable. You will need to complete the payment step within 5 business days of applying for housing or your application will be canceled. You will be able to pay online via e-check and major credit card or mail in your payment to:
The Office of Residence Life, MS 519
The University of Toledo
2801 W. Bancroft St.
Toledo, OH 43606
You can cancel your reservation online until date November 30, 2009. After that time if you no longer wish to live on campus, you will need to notify the Office of Residence Life in writing via email to reslife@utnet.utoledo.edu or fax to 419.530.2942. Cancellation fees apply.
Apply for housing early. Room options will be limited based on availability. To avoid disappointment because a room or the style of room you want is not available, please apply early.
Are there any fees for applying for housing?
Yes. All new students are required to make a payment of $240 ($40 non-refundable application fee and $200 housing pre-payment fee). All returners are required to make a housing pre-payment of $200. Students who do not make the required housing payments within 5 business days of completing their application will have their application canceled and will not receive housing.
Housing fees for 2009-2010 can be reviewed here.
Can I mail in my payment?
Yes. Your application receipt date will change to the date we receive your mailed payment. When mailing in the payment, make sure to include your Rocket ID number in the subject line of your check or money order. When the payment is placed in the mail, please send an email to residence life, reslife@utnet.utoledo.edu, letting us know your payment has been mailed. If we do not receive this email within 5 business days of application submission, your application will be canceled. Be sure to include your name and Rocket ID number in the email. Payments should be mailed to:
Office of Residence Life, MS 519
The University of Toledo
2801 W. Bancroft
Toledo, OH 43606
Can my financial aid cover the housing application and prepayment fee?
No. In order to secure a housing assignment, we need the payment at the time of the application. If you are on a full-ride scholarship, a credit will be placed back onto your account prior to the start of the semester.
What should I do if I cannot make the payment now?
Unfortunately, we cannot hold applications for payment longer than 5 business days and if we do not receive the required housing fees during that time, your application will be canceled. Please apply once you have the required fees.
