All UNCG students have the option of living on or off campus. Approximately 3,500 students live in 23 residence halls on campus. UNCG houses students without regard to race, creed, color, or national origin.
Students may request residence halls or roommates by name, and whenever possible, such requests will be honored.
Each residence hall is staffed with part-time Residence Directors/Head Residents who are graduate students or seniors. These staff supervise undergraduate Community Advisors, who also live in the building. In addition, each hall forms a hall council made up of elected student representatives. These staff and student representatives work together to build an academically supportive community in each hall.
All residence hall rooms are furnished with beds, dressers, and desks. All have community bathrooms by floor or wing. Some residence halls are equipped with one or more lounges, recreation rooms, study rooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens. All have local telephone service and automated voice mail in their rooms. Long distance service is available through a designated carrier contracted by the University, or by using a personal calling card.
Students provide their own bed linens, blankets, lamps, and curtains. All windows are equipped with mini-blinds.
To request a space, students must log in to the UNCG Housing & Residence Life web site. Descriptions of the halls and directions for applying for housing are available beginning January 15 for Fall semester and September 15 for Spring semester. See current housing costs.

Residence Hall Policies
Guest Policies
All residence halls are locked 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All students are issued a hall entry key. Each student may host non-resident guests during the hall's posted visitation hours. Currently, each hall is governed by one of the following three policies:
Traditional Visitation
Guests allowed from 12:00 pm to 12:00 am, Monday through Thursday; until 2:00 am on Friday and Saturday; and until 1:00 am on Sunday.
Weekend Visitation
Guests allowed from 12:00 pm to 12:00 am Monday through Thursday, and from Friday at 12:00 pm through Sunday at 1:00 am.
24/7 Visitation
Guests allowed 24 hours a day, seven days a week
Room Occupancy
The signing of a housing contract does not automatically assure one of space in a residence hall.
Housing agreements are in force for the period indicated on the contract. The right to occupy a room terminates as of the contract period. UNCG reserves the right to require any student whom it finds, after due process, an undesirable tenant to vacate a residence hall room within 48 hours notice. Should a student be dismissed or withdraw from UNCG, the room is expected to be vacated within 48 hours. The space then becomes available for reassignment by UNCG.
All room assignments are considered final until the first day of classes.
UNCG reserves the right to make changes in room assignments in order to consolidate space and to transfer students to other residence halls during the school year.
Off Campus Housing
The Information Desk in Elliott University Center maintains a self-help facility which makes available listings of off-campus accommodations sent to EUC by private landlords. Persons can use the off-campus housing resource center in EUC during normal operating hours.
