It's time to select 2021-2022 Housing Assignments!
Housing applications and room selection will be made through the online housing portal utilizing your UVA Wise username, password and your student ID Number. Starting on Wednesday, March 3, 2021 at 9am, the Housing Portal will go live and you will be able to login, complete your application, select meal plan, and choose your room/roommate.
A limited number of private or single rooms will be available in McCraray Hall at no additional costs. Those rooms are available on a first come, first serve basis. After the start of the academic year, should space allow, private or single rooms in other residential facilities (i.e. Asbury, Culbertson, Henson, Still and Thompson) may be declared for an additional fee.
All students, whether currently residential or not, are eligible to apply for housing during this time.
You can find full details regarding the Housing Sign-Up process, including a timeline, here.

New students (freshmen, transfers & readmits) complete a 3-step Orientation process prior to enrolling at UVA Wise:
Signup invitation emails are sent to the personal email of all confirmed students. After signup, all information is sent ONLY to the UVA Wise email, so be sure to check if often and regularly.
Learn more about the Orientation process at www.uvawise.edu/orientation . If you have any additional questions, contact the Office of Student Engagement (OSE) at OSE@uvawise.edu or by calling 276-328-0313 or 0216.
All new UVA Wise freshmen (residential & commuter) will participate in Expedition on Sunday before classes begin each fall. This students-only event provides a full-day of interaction and fun to give you additional timely information for a successful start to your first semester at UVA Wise. You will participate as a team of fellow students led by an upperclass Expedition Leader (EL).
Learn more about Expedition and other start of the semester events at www.uvawise.edu/welcome-week.
After the start of each fall semester, be sure to watch your UVA Wise email for more information about First-Year Fridays! Held each Friday for the first six weeks of the fall semester, OSE will provide you with essential resources and giveaways right when you need them.
While FY Fridays are specifically planned for freshmen, they are actually open to all UVA Wise students! 😀
