Welcome Parents and Supporters of New First-Year and Transfer Students!
Coaching your student through some of the bigger items on their M Housing journey is much easier when the coach knows what the bigger items are.
Generally speaking, we advise that you and your student read our Application Information page for details on how to apply and what options are available; most of what your student needs to know (before moving in) can be found there.
The table below lists a number of the most important tasks where you can nudge your student into action. All of these items require that your student has paid the enrollment deposit and has obtained a U-M uniqname.
| Tasks: Fall 2025 | Link to Information | Dates to do the work | Deadline |
| Submit Vaccination Records | UM Vaccination Policy | As soon your student has their Uniqname | Required before contract issued |
| Gather info related to health & disability accommodations | Additional Living Options | Link provided in Housing Application | May 12 |
| Apply for Housing | Application Information | Beginning April 2 | May 12 |
| Choose a Room (if choosing space) | Application Information | Monday, June 16 to Thursday, June 19 | June 19 |
| Submit Housing Contract and select move-in date/time | Application Information | Tuesday, June 24 to Friday, June 27 at 11:59 PM EDT | June 27 |
| Renter’s Insurance | Personal Property Protection | After housing contract is signed | No deadline |
