Fall 2026-Spring 2027
The 2026-2027 housing application for incoming freshmen will open Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at 9 a.m. CDT. In order to apply for housing as a new incoming freshman, a student must be admitted to the University and pay the freshman enrollment deposit.
Please Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your Freshman Enrollment Deposit to be reflected in the myHousing portal.
To apply for housing (after the above are true) for the 2026-2027 academic year, click on the “Apply for Housing” link below, log in using your myBama username and password, and select “Academic Year 2026-2027.” Your housing application is not complete until you have submitted:
- the application form through the myHousing portal
- a signed housing contract through DocuSign
- the $175 housing prepayment and application fee ($140 refundable prepayment for fall housing charge and $35 non-refundable application fee)
If you apply for housing and then decide not to attend UA, cancel your housing application prior to the deadlines to receive a refund.
View Application Status
To review your application status once you have applied, log back into the myHousing portal, and under Academic Year Housing Application, click on View myHousing Status Page. This screen will show you the date and time you completed your housing application (if applicable).
Summer Housing
Incoming freshmen who will be taking UA courses this summer can live on campus for one or more summer terms (Summer I, Summer II or both). The application for summer housing is a separate application than the housing application for Academic Year 25-26 for fall and spring. Interested students need to apply for Summer Housing as well as fall and spring, if applicable. Summer housing assignments are in different buildings than the academic year. Students will be assigned to an available space for summer in one of the summer buildings. Students should be prepared to move their belongings from their summer building to their fall building at the end of summer term.
