The Office of Residence Life offers break housing at two different parts of the year: Summer and Winter.
Summer Break
Summer Break constitutes the time between the end of the last Summer session and the start of the Fall semester. Only those students who are in Summer housing for the last Summer session and who have a room reservation for the Fall are eligible to take advantage of Summer Break Housing. Summer Break Housing is $100 per week and all weeks between Summer & Fall will be included. There will not be an opportunity to sign up for a partial stay during the Summer Break. During the Summer Break, students will have an opportunity to move from their Summer room to their reserved Fall room.
Additional information about Summer Break will be available after the Summer term begins.
Winter Break
Winter Break consists of the weeks when school is not in session between the end of the Fall semester and the start of the Spring semester. Students who do not wish to take advantage of Winter Break Housing should check-out by the scheduled Hall Close Date for the Fall semester. These students may leave their belongings in their room over the break, but are encouraged to take valuables home with them. Additional guidelines about the policies in effect during the winter break are made available to the residents during the Fall semester at the same time as closing procedures and expectations. Students who are interested in taking advantage of the Winter Break option will need to sign up in advance to avoid fees associated with improper checkouts. The Winter Break option is made available at $100 per week and can be requested in increments of individual weeks. These charges are added to the student account. Students are usually allowed to remain in their same room during Winter Break. There is no requirement to purchase a separate meal plan for this Winter Break option.
Additional information about Winter Break will be available late in the Fall semester.

Room Reservation will occur following Registration Day (usually occurs in late April).
$225 Housing Deposit
To secure a room on campus, students are required to have a $225 housing deposit on file with the Business Office. Deposits can be paid directly to the Business Office (210-829-6043) or online, using the UIW ePayment Center in Banner Web. Please allow 1-2 business days to process your deposit.
UIW Course Registration
Only those students who have registered full-time for Fall classes will be eligible to apply for housing during Spring Room Reservation.
Housing Process Dates: Current Residents (students currently in campus housing)
Room Reservation will occur in the Spring, following Registration Day. Additional information will be provided via e-mail about information sessions and process dates.
