FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Application

What if I want to cancel prior to the semester starting?
If you are a returning student who is not planning to return, or if you are not required to live on campus and choose to cancel your University Housing contract, email reslife@utoledo.edu with your request. When you email, please include your Rocket Number and explain your situation. Please note that cancellation fees may apply. 

What if I want to cancel during the semester?
You will need to submit a contract cancellation request. Please note that cancellation fees may apply. 

How do I know my application is complete?
There are multiple ways to check to ensure your application is complete.

1. You will be sent an automated email once you complete your housing application.
2. Your application status can be viewed within the housing portal.

Roomates

How do I find a roommate? 
The Roommate Groups page in the application will walk you through the process.

Your profile answers will be compared to other applicant profiles and a list of potential roommates who match your profile will be generated.  You may also search for a specific roommate by name. Only students who have applied for housing can be requested as roommates. You will be able to message potential roommates through the housing portal.

If you find someone that you would be interested in rooming with, you must send a roommate request within the housing portal.  Once the roommate request has been accepted, the student with the earlier room selection time slot can pull the confirmed roommate into that room. Roommate groups are not guaranteed to live together, group placement is dependent on space availability.

What if I don’t choose a roommate? 
Choosing your roommate is optional. 

Fees

Are there any fees for applying for housing?
There are no fees unless you have never lived on campus before.

What is the cost of housing for 2024-25?
Housing fees are billed in July for the fall semester. View the 2023-24 rates to give you an idea of typical rates. The 2024-25 rates will be posted in early spring. 

Can I mail in my payment?
No. All payments must be received online via the myUT Portal. If you cannot make payment online, contact the Office of Residence Life at 419.530.2941 or reslife@utoledo.edu. 

Can my financial aid cover the housing application and pre-payment (deposit) fee?
