The Basics
Union has a limited number of houses, duplexes and apartments which are available to faculty/staff and eligible students. These are conveniently located around the perimeter of the university campus. In most cases, tenants are responsible for paying their own gas, electricity, and water service. A security deposit equal to one-month's rent per unit is required in advance once a applicant has been accepted for rental housing. Rent for university-owned housing is charged each semester to the student's account, or monthly for non-students, and will be considered, just as is dormitory room rent, when making a student financial plan with the university.
NOTE: Residence halls are managed by Residential Life and supervised by Student Life.

Eligibility
All Union students must be approved to live "off campus" by the Office of Student Life. In this case, "off campus" means any dwelling other than a residence hall. However, Union campus housing is considered to be "on campus" due to its ownership and location. Housing that is not a residence hall or campus housing is also called "village".
For further information go to https://www.uau.edu/student-life/student-housing. To apply to live in non-residence hall housing, complete the "Housing" section in your online registration checklist.

Gaining permission from the Office of Student Life or completing a tenant application for Campus Housing does not guarantee placement in a campus housing rental unit. Availability is limited.
