  3. Login to the UWSP Housing Portal, please click here.
  4. Select the appropriate application (for example, Academic Year Traditional Hall Application) and follow the instructions to complete it.

​Housing Assignments

To qualify for New Student Room Selection, incoming fall semester students must complete a housing application and sign their housing contract. Housing will take everyone who completed a housing application before June 1 and assign a timeslot based on the contract completion date. The earlier the student signed their housing contract, the earlier they will get to select their room.
