A student must complete a Petition for Exemption form and submit it to the office of Housing & Residence Life (documentation will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis).
Deadline to submit a Petition for Exemption:
June 30 for students beginning in Fall
Nov. 30 for students beginning in Spring
Exemption Reasons:
Most dining requests will fall under the special needs category.
Campus housing is available for students enrolled during the semester. Undergraduate students must be enrolled for six semester hours or more, and graduate students must be enrolled for six semester hours or more. The University does not provide family housing.
The housing application fee is $150. It is non-refundable and must be paid at the time of admission or can be deferred to your student account.
There is a section on the application to include a roommate's name. Both students must request each other and have the application submitted. It may not be possible to grant roommate requests received after June 1 (for fall assignments) and November 1 (for spring assignments).
Freshmen requests are based on space availability.
Applicants’ assignments are made based on the date the application is received. Students can request a specific roommate of the same gender. While consideration is given to roommate preference requests, it may not be possible to grant requests received after June 1 (for fall assignments) and November 1 (for spring assignments).
The housing assignment information will be sent in early May (for fall) or early December (for spring). The email will include the name of the residential community and room number, roommate’s name, and contact information so roommates can contact each other to begin discussing what each is bringing. A student applying after the initial assignment information has been sent should receive their assignment information within two weeks.
Assignments cannot be changed once a student arrives on campus. There is a grace period at the beginning of the semester before a room change is made. This allows roommates to make a good-faith effort to resolve differences and for the University to assess housing needs.
Following this grace period, Housing will allow students to change assignments during
the Room Change Period. Room Change Period usually occurs within two to three weeks
following the first day of classes.
Following the Room Change Period, students desiring to change rooms/roommates must
meet with their Residence Life Coordinator and participate in mediation. Any student
who changes rooms without prior approval will be assessed an administrative fee in
addition to being sent through the Student Conduct process.
The standard agreement (contract) is for the length of the academic year (August to May). The 12-month agreement (contract) is for a full year (August to July).
Access to residence halls is managed by a computerized key card access system. Card readers at each facility grant access to only those students who reside in the building. Students residing in the Courtyard Apartments will be issued a key to the entrance door of their unit, which will also unlock their bedroom.
Student rooms offer free wireless internet and are furnished with:
Cypress Hall rooms have wardrobes; all other residential communities have built-in closets.
Central air is provided in all residential communities except for North Hall (each room is equipped with a window unit).
Laundry and vending machines are located on the first floor of each facility.
Additional information for each residential community can be found on the Housing Options page.
For additional information download the Braves Pack for Success Guide.
The Office of Business Services in the Auxiliary Services Building is responsible for UNCP’s Mail Center. Operating hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Services offered are:
Package pickup, stamp purchase and other postal services are provided at the Mail Center.
Students living in the residence halls must purchase a meal plan, while the meal plan is optional for students residing in Courtyard Apartments.
Students may purchase a meal plan by contacting the Cashier's Office at 910.521.6855 or student.accounts@uncp.edu
Freshmen are allowed cars on campus; they must be registered and display a current UNC Pembroke parking permit.
For information on how to obtain a permit and the fees for permits, visit Parking Registration.
Residents must submit a Petition For Release or Exemption to the main office and obtain approval to be released from the housing agreement.
The “Petition for Exemption” process is reserved for students who meet specified qualifications to waive their dining or residency requirement. This should be completed before signing a housing agreement.
The “Petition for Release” process is for students who have signed either a housing or dining agreement and is reserved for students who have a significant and unforeseen change that occurred after the agreement was signed that prevents them from upholding their contractual obligation.
Petitions for release or exemption, solely for the purpose of living in off-campus housing or to commute from home, will not be approved.
Any approved petitions are subject to the university’s refund policy, cancellation fees and could be prorated based on usage. Based on the housing agreement you signed, release from your housing agreement will result in a cancellation fee determined by the date you cancel.
A release or exemption is only applicable for the academic year for which you request and must be resubmitted each academic year.
Payment for the housing fee can be covered by financial aid. Each student’s financial situation is different. To confirm which fees are covered by financial aid contact your Financial Aid Counselor.
Don’t hesitate to reach out. Send an email to housing@uncp.edu. A member of the Housing and Residence Life staff will contact you. You can also call 910.775.4253 during regular business hours or contact a faculty member below.
