UWRF Message to CVTC Students

I am pleased that our UWRF Department of Residence Life has partnered with CVTC to offer this special on-campus living opportunity for CVTC enrolled students. We look forward to welcoming you to UWRF and our residence hall community. Our goals include creating residence hall environments where each student can engage socially and academically, experience a sense of belonging, and feel supported by staff and peers.

The following information will guide you through the application process and answer several of your questions. However, please reach out to our office if you need assistance or have additional questions.

Sincerely,

Cara Rubis
Executive Director for Campus Life

 

Availability

Fall Semester: UWRF has set aside a limited number of spaces in a traditional residence hall with double-occupancy rooms. These rooms will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis and will be held until July 15, 2024 for the 2024-2025 academic year. 

Spring Semester: Until the December 1, 2024 deadline, we are accepting applications for new CVTC applicants seeking to live on UWRF campus starting Spring semester, 2025. Each year, UWRF does not guarantee CVTC housing will be available for new incoming CVTC students for Spring semester - we will only approve new Spring applications if empty beds are available.

Rates

Residence hall room and meal plan rates for each academic year are reviewed by UW-System Board of Regents and approved prior to each academic year.

Receiving your ID Card:

Attach a personal photo of yourself to the email for placing on your ID card. Indicate in the email that you are a CVTC student approved to live on campus, and want the attached photo used on your UWRF ID Card. The Carding Office will coordinate with you on the delivery of your ID Card.
