UIC Housing
Housing on campus at UIC is at a premium. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you would like to live on campus it is strongly recommended that you return your housing application immediately after you are admitted to UIC.
When you are admitted to UIC you will receive a packet of information from the Admissions office. In the back of the information folder you will find the housing application. Complete the application, include a check for the security deposit and non-refundable application fee, and return it to the housing office as soon as possible. If you have accessibility needs, make sure that you indicate this in the appropriate field of the application.
There are two UIC housing locations for graduate and professional students:
- SSR (Single Student Residence) is located on the West campus. This is an older building in which the units are suite or apartment style, with each student having an individual bedroom and sharing a kitchenette and bathroom within each unit. Each bedroom has a private telephone line, internet line, and cable line that can be activated for an additional charge. As this building is for graduate and professional students, the entire building is intensive study. SSR is served by UIC campus transportation.
- TBH (Thomas Beckham Hall) is located on the South campus. This student apartment building was opened in Fall 2003 and houses mostly undergraduate students. All students have individual bedrooms and shared living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. Each bedroom has a private telephone line that can be activated for an additional charge. TBH is served by UIC campus transportation.
TIP: Please note that there is no close parking available at either of these dorm locations. Please contact the Office of Disability Services to discuss special dorm parking arrangements, if available.
