LIVING EXPENSES
Residence Halls
According to the Board of Regents policy,
freshmen and sophomores who are not veterans, married students,
or students residing in their parent’s or guardian’s home, must
live in a university-operated residence hall when accommodations
are available. Requests for exceptions to this policy must be
made in writing to the Director of Residence Life.
Once you have been accepted and paid your registration fee, you will be sent directions about the online sign-up process. You will be directed to pay your $100 housing deposit and then complete the online housing application. Residence hall facilities, regulations and programs are described at the residence life page.
UW-L Dining Services
All students living in traditional residence
halls must purchase one of the traditional meal plans (19, 14,
or 10 meals per week) and are not eligible to be on any block
plans. Students living in Reuter Hall may purchase a Reuter
Block Plan or choose to be on one of the traditional meal plans.
You will be given an opportunity to select a meal plan that best
fits your eating preferences. Should you find that your meal
plan needs are different than you anticipated, you may request
changes during the first two weeks of school. Students may
change their meal plan at the end of the semester by visiting
the Meal Plan/ID Card Office, 223 Cartwright Center.
Contract board service is provided in Whitney Center.
Catering and other dining areas are available in Cartwright
Center for commuters as well as resident students. Dining
service is available only when the university is in session.
Limited dining options are available during Winter intersession
and summer term. Further information may be obtained from the
Meal Plan/ID Card Office, 223 Cartwright Center.
