How do I sign up for housing?
For details, see these detailed instructions or the instructional flyer.
Signing up for housing and meals can be done on URSA, the University Records and Systems Assistant. Follow this process:

Log into URSA to sign up for the lottery no later than 4:00 p.m. on November 1, 2012.
- Check your registration status on November 5, 2012
- Sign up for housing during your designated timeslot.
-
Log into URSA and select “Student Services and Financial Aid.”
- Select “Select or View your Housing and Dining Information.”
- You will then be prompted to complete your housing agreement.
- Once you have accessed the online agreement, please follow the instructions. If you have any difficulty, please contact us at 724-357-2696.
- After completion, you will receive a message that your choices were saved successfully. You will then receive a confirmation e-mail from us in your IUP e-mail account.
Note that an $80 prepayment is required within 10 business days after completing the online housing agreement. If the $80 is not paid within ten business days of signing up, your housing will be cancelled and cannot be reactivated.

What buildings will be available to continuing students?
The following buildings will be available for continuing students to sign up:
Where are the living-learning communities?
These are listed on the Living-Learning page.
If I don’t sign up for the lottery by 4:00 p.m. on November 1, can I still sign up for it at a later date?
No, you must be signed up for the lottery by the deadline or you will not be able to secure on campus housing for Fall 2013.
If I don't sign up for housing during my designated time slot, can I still sign up?
No, you must sign up during your designated time slot. If you miss your time slot, you forfeit your space on campus. You can e-mail us at iup-ohrl@iup.edu to be placed on a waiting list if you missed your time slot.
Can I request a roommate?
Yes, you must request your roommate(s) on the lottery form and when you complete the online agreement.
I’m a continuing student and want to request a new student as a roommate. Can I do this?
The online system is set up to only permit continuing students to room with continuing students and new students with new students. If you have a special request to room with a new student, please e-mail your request to ohrl-assignments@iup.edu with your specific information.
What about Spring housing?
If you are staying on campus for Fall, your housing assignment automatically carries over to the following Spring semester. There is no need to sign up for Spring since you are already signed up for the full academic year.
