At this time Lewis and Clark Village anticipates having a waitlist for Fall 2024 semester. Any rooms that become available due to cancellations or vacate notices will be reassigned from the waitlist. Roommate requests will be difficult to accommodate. While spaces will continue to be offered if they become available, and students may still choose to submit an application and be placed on the waitlist, we encourage students to also explore other housing options.

Status of Applications

Fall 2024 Semester assignments will be made between April 17-April 28. Applicants who receive an assignment will be notified via email. Any applicants who do not receive an assignment in the initial batch of assignments will be notified via email that they have been placed on the LVC waitlist. 

Spring Semester assignments begin in mid-November. We will not know our vacancy numbers until this time. Room assignments are completed on a first-applied, first-assigned basis. You may log into myHousingPortal to view your assignment, move in date, and roommate information.

Applications that do not receive an assignment will be placed on a waiting list.

All students with 60+ earned credits are eligible to live in LCV. Students with 24-59 earned credits must have a 2.5 GPA or higher and no outstanding conduct issues to be eligible. All residents must be a currently enrolled student taking a minimum of 6 credits per semester. There are no credit or GPA requirements for Graduate students.

All residents of Lewis and Clark Village must be currently enrolled students taking a minimum of 6 credits per semester, with the exception of Summer Semester.

Deadline

There is not a deadline for sending in applications.

Applications received for the future Fall Semester are held until the end of April when the assignment process begins for Fall applications. It is necessary to wait until April to assign apartments because we need to receive vacate notices from our current residents before we know which apartments will be available at the end of August.

Applications received for the future Spring Semester are held until mid-November for processing. It is necessary to wait until mid-November to assign apartments because we need to receive vacate notices from our current residents before we know which apartments will be available in January.

Applications requesting immediate move in are processed as received. Applicants will be contacted by the Lewis and Clark Village Office Manager about the assignment via the UM student email, and housing reservations can be viewed on the myHousingPortal.

Inquiries about the status of your application may be sent to Cheryl Greely.

Deadline for Changing Move In Date

The prorated rent charge is based on the date a tenant has agreed to take possession of the apartment which the tenant indicated on the Lewis and Clark Village housing application. This date is specified on the assignment confirmation on the application status. Changes to the move in date must be made in writing via email to Cheryl Greely before the 1st day of the month prior to the move in month.

• Fall Semester Move In (August) - July 1*
• Spring Semester Move In (January) - December 1*
• Summer Semester Move In (May) - April 1*
• All other months: Changes must be received at least 30 days prior to the move in date*

*Any change to the move in date after rent has been assessed or within 30 days of the original requested date will result in no change to the prorated rent.
