Apply for a Housing and Meal Plan

Housing

UNE has a three-year residency requirement. Once we have received your enrollment deposit, you are eligible to complete a Housing and Dining Service Application and Contract to select roommate and residence hall preferences. Housing assignments are made in priority order based on the date we receive your application, and you will be informed about your assignment in early January. Learn more about living on campus at UNE

Meal Plans and Dining

As a residential student you are automatically assigned a meal plan — there is no separate application to complete. The plan includes a set number of meals per week in the dining hall and flexible spending dollars for on-campus dining.

You can change your meal plan at the beginning of the semester. For more information about the dining facilities and meal plans visit Dining Services.

Your primary Emergency Contact should be a parent or guardian, and you are welcome to list multiple people if there is more than one person we should contact. Log in to UNE Compass then click the Main Menu, under My SelfService select “General Services,” and then “Personal Information,” and select the edit icon under  “Emergency Contact” to complete this step.
