Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Reserve A Dorm Room Prior To University of Florida Acceptance?
When applying to one of their dorm rooms, requesting a Freshman Contingency Addendum is recommended before acceptance. When you have signed your housing contract, the Freshman Contingency Addendum allows you to cancel your lease with Windsor Hall Dorms should you not be accepted to the University of Florida. Cancellation will be permitted by sending proof of non-acceptance to Windsor Hall Dorms by March 1st, 2024. Students applying for fall 2024 admissions will be notified regarding acceptance in February 2024. This Contingency Addendum allows seven days to let us know if you are not accepted. Due to the high demand for the Windsor Hall Dorms, it is highly recommended you do not wait to apply for off-campus housing near the University of Florida until after receiving acceptance. The most popular room sizes are often reserved/leased before acceptance letters are sent out. If you have signed a Freshman Contingency Addendum and provided proof of non-acceptance, any pre-paid deposits and the redecoration fee will be fully refunded. For complete details on the Freshman Contingency Addendum, please request a copy from one of their leasing specialists.
