Step 2
Pay your $225 Housing Deposit.
Submit a check for $225, payable to University of the Incarnate Word for your housing deposit. Please note that submission of a housing deposit does not confirm your intent to enroll with the University. However, with the appropriate paperwork, it does reserve a bed space on campus. (Please be sure that you have also submitted your $200 matriculation deposit to the Admissions Office.)
Step 3
Sign Contract.
Review and sign (in all sections) the UIW
Occupancy Agreement Contract and return to the Office of Residence Life (PDF
file format). You may also wish to review the Agreement
Policy Guidelines, also in the PDF
file format.
Step 4
Complete Emergency Form.
Review and fill out/sign all sections of the Emergency Information Form and return to the Office of Residence Life (PDF file format).

3. How room assignments are determined
Some residence halls are more popular with returning students than others, so the amount of space available for new students varies in each hall. Returning residence hall students have priority in the room assignment process. As space is available, new students will be assigned to the halls and room types indicated on the Housing and Board Application.
If you want to room with a specific person, please be sure that both applications are sent to the Office of Residence Life at the same time. Roommate and suitemate choices will be honored before room choices. (Roommates and/or suitemates will be broken up only if there are no rooms available to accommodate the request). We will make every attempt to honor your preferences.
