Application for Student Housing
Eligibility Requirements

- Enrollment Status: Students must be enrolled in Utah Asia Campus classes for the semester in which they wish to reside in on-campus housing.
- Conduct Record: Students are required to have a satisfactory conduct record with both Utah Asia Campus and IGC Housing.
Application Process
Housing applications must be submitted to the university for each spring and fall semester.
New students and returning students follow different processes separately from each other. Please see below for more information.
New Student
New students will be offered a residency on a first-come, first-serve basis within the pre-allocated quota. While we try to guarantee all new students receive housing, please note there are a limited number of beds available.
International student applications are prioritized due to difficulty securing off-campus housing. Housing assignments will be processed by the priority deadline. You will be added to a waitlist if you are not assigned a room.
Returning students
Returning students will be selected based on the proximity of their residences to the campus and their student classification. Priority will be given to those living farther from campus and lower-class students.
Signing Housing Contract
Successful applicants will receive individual notifications through their university email accounts and be required to sign the housing contract online. Once the contract is signed, students are committed to the housing agreement for the entire residency term.
By signing the contract, you agree to the following:
- The duration of the residency period, including move-in and move-out dates
- Room type and associated fees
- Compliance with IGC Housing rules and regulations
Cancellation Policy
To be released from your housing commitment, you must submit a release request via email to uacslic@utah.edu, including a reason for cancellation. Generally, requests are not approved for the following reasons: roommate issues, lack of privacy, signing another lease off-campus, or personal financial concerns.
The request must be submitted before the first day of the residency period. Requests submitted after the first day may incur a cancellation fee in accordance with the IGC Housing refund policy.
If you decide to take a leave of absence or defer your admission, you must cancel your housing separately. Failure to do so may result in a cancellation fee, as outlined in the IGC Housing refund policy.
