		Information for Prospective Undergraduates

		Applying for Undergraduate Housing New undergraduate students apply for housing at Northwestern University as part of an integrated admission process. If you are admitted to Northwestern, you will be asked to confirm your intent to enroll by paying a non-refundable $400 tuition deposit. After this deposit is received, you will then be asked to pay a second non-refundable $200 room reservation deposit if you requested and have been granted campus housing. Your room reservation deposit form is mailed out by the Admissions Office. Please return your $200 room reservation deposit in the envelope provided, and don't forget to include the completed address label that was sent to you with your room reservation deposit form. We will use that address label to send you information on how to access the housing application form. Housing application materials, including a PDF brochure describing Northwestern's residence halls and residential colleges, and the online application form, will be made available on the freshman housing web site once the room reservation deposit slips are mailed out. You must complete the online application by June 6, 2008. When making arrangements for travel, etc., between the third week of May and June 6th, please insure that you have a way to access the internet in order to complete this application. Housing assignments, including the name of your residence hall, your room number, your telephone number, the rates for your assignment, and the name and address of your roommate(s), will be sent out to all new undergraduate students, via their Northwestern e-mail accounts, during the first week of August, 2008. That e-mail will include a link to the online Residence and Board Contract, which you must sign within two weeks. You are encouraged to observe all of our deposit and application deadlines. Failure to meet these deadlines may result in the cancellation of your housing status. Elsewhere in the web pages " Housing at Northwestern " you will a variety of additional information that may be useful to you. If you have additional questions, you may call us at 847 / 491-7564, or send e-mail to us at freshman-housing@northwestern.edu .
