Help my student sign up

Here is some information on how to sign up for a residence hall. If you have any questions along the way, please call the housing office, or e-mail us.

1. Your student must be accepted to the University of Idaho before he or she can sign up for housing.

2. To sign up for a residence hall, a student can send in a room reservation card (you should have received one in the mail; if not, call us at the housing office and we will send you one) and a check for their $250 deposit. Or, they may fill out the same information online using his or her VandalWeb account, and pay the $250 deposit by using a credit card.

3. To sign up for a room on VandalWeb:

• Log in using the student ID number and password
• Select "Student Housing Information"
• Select "Reserve a Room Online"
• Fill out the questions on the form. These questions will help us pair a student with a roommate and find out what kind of community he or she wants to live in.
• Pay the $250 deposit online using a credit card, or send in a check to University Housing, P.O. Box 442010, Moscow, ID 83844-2010; or call us, and pay over the phone using a credit card.

4. Once the form is filled out and the deposit is paid, a room will be assigned to the student. The assignment is made by our assignment coordinator, and does not happen automatically after the reservation is submitted online. It may take a couple hours or a day or two. (If the application is submitted in January-early March, please keep in mind that your student's application is very early and will be one of the first assigned, but we do not begin assigning rooms until mid-March.)

5. A student can log into VandalWeb and check for their room assignment, as well as roommate information, by selecting "Student Housing Information" and then selecting "Housing Information Center."
