Dear Bearcat,

As you prepare to attend UC, University Housing wants to ensure you do not overlook applying for housing or completing an exemption request to the university on-campus housing requirement. At this time, our records indicate we have received neither from you. 

Current permanent address of record:

{Street}{Street2}
{City}, {StateProvince} {ZipPostcode}

You are required to reside in University housing based on the above address. The university’s outside 50-mile on-campus housing requirement is an important policy to note:

All unmarried first-year students, or transfer students not transferring 30 credit hours or more, who are not residing with their parents inside a 50-mile radius of the main campus, are required to live in the residence halls during their first academic year.  

Space for fall semester is limited. By submitting your housing application as soon as possible, you will improve the possibility of receiving the assignment you prefer. The process is simple: access the online application by visiting the housing portal to apply.

While circumstances may necessitate an exemption to the outside 50-mile on-campus housing requirement, please note that these exceptions are rare. If you believe your circumstance warrants an exception, please contact University Housing to request an exemption request form. If you are no longer attending the University of Cincinnati, please be sure to cancel your admission with the University.  

If you need assistance with the application or if you have any questions regarding university housing, please contact University Housing at 513-556-6461 or at uchousing@uc.edu. 

We look forward to seeing you in August!

Regards,
University Housing
