APPLY TO LIVE ON CAMPUS!
Living on campus is a great way to meet new people, travel to and
from classes quickly, and have 24-hour access to all the wonderful
opportunities UNA has to offer. We know that you will be more
successful by making this your home-away-from-home therefore, all
first-time, full-time freshmen are required to live on campus for one
academic year. Mattielou & Olive are our newest residence halls and
they were designed specifically for our freshmen community. There
are plenty of amenities to help make your experience enjoyable
while allowing you to interact with many other fellow members of
the UNA Class of 2022!
Each student is sent an email upon admission to the university to
their UNA Portal Email (this email address is where we will send all
your important info and updates so be sure to check it often) which
includes instructions on applying for a residence hall room. You will
need your UNA Portal username and password, a credit/debit card
for the $150 non-refundable application fee, and authorization from
a parent/guardian if you are under 19. Our freshmen halls fill up
quickly so we encourage you to apply early!
