Prospective Residents & Guests

Application Instructions:

Thank you for your interest in on-campus Student Housing at RFUMS. On this web-site you will find an application for Student Housing, this application may be returned to Student Housing via:

• The online submission form, or
• Fax at 847-775-6559, or
• By mailing the completed application via the U.S. Postal Service to

The Office of Student Housing
3333 Green Bay Road
North Chicago, IL 60064

Student Housing contracts will be granted to students based on a lottery selection. Only students with confirmed admission to RFUMS will be granted contracts. Contracts for those applicants will be issued during April. After the initial set of completed contracts has been returned to the Office of Student Housing, contracts will be issued to students on the wait list or to those who have subsequently been admitted to the University. Contracts will continue to be issued until all spaces are full.

New students interested in Student Housing are encouraged to apply upon admission, even after stated lottery deadline, as continued housing opportunities will become available. Student Housing will maintain a waiting list of newly admitted students who are interested in Student Housing but did not participate in the lottery.

A completed application for Student Housing does not secure a space for students in on-campus housing. Only when a student receives, completes and returns a Student Housing contract with the required $500 prepayment and that contract is accepted by the Coordinator of Student Housing will a student be assured a space. Contract acceptance will be indicated in writing along with a confirmed assignment and move-in information.

Application Instructions and Information

Contact Information

• The contact information will be used to communicate any contract information with the applicant from the time that Student Housing receives the application.
  
  Student Information
• Students are asked to indicate his or her student status-new or returning student who is currently living off campus.
  
  Contract Period
• Students are asked to rank the contract periods that best correspond to his or her program of study or housing needs. If a contract period has no rank, Student Housing will assume this contract period is unacceptable.
  
  Program of Study
• Check the box that indicates your area of study.
  
  Apartment Preference Information
• Assignment to apartments will be done in lottery number order. Whenever possible, assignment will be given to the indicated preference. However, assignment according to preferences for type of apartment or preferred roommates may not be possible. Each applicant is given the opportunity to waive preferences in this situation on the application itself. Checking this box does not impact Student Housing's attempt to honor preferences; it simply allows Housing to make an assignment even when preferences are no longer available.

• Single Student Housing
  If an apartment mate preference is indicated, both students requesting a specific apartment mate must indicate the preference on the application. If either student fails to indicate the preference on the application, then the request cannot be honored.  

• Family Housing
  Students with families will contract for an entire apartment. The maximum number of family members housed in a one-bedroom apartment is two and in a two-bedroom unit is four (two to each bedroom). Only one apartment will be contracted per student. While the Housing Contract will be with the registered student, each apartment resident will be accountable for contractual terms and, in the event of a contractual breach, the student and other resident(s) will both/all be held accountable. The Office of Student Housing reserves the right to request proof of relationship, if necessary.

• Special Needs/Additional Preferences
  Applicants are given the opportunity to notify Housing of any special needs (e.g., ADA requirements or to indicate additional preferences, such as a low or high floor). Housing will take these requests into account while making assignments.
