Housing Policies and Forms
We are committed to creating and maintaining a living environment that fosters and facilitates personal growth and community involvement within the residence halls. The Housing and Residence Life Guide outlines many of the policies and procedures you will need to know as a resident. The Student Code of Responsibility provides the policies and procedures governing student behavior at UNC Asheville.
Housing Contracts
Below are the academic and year-round housing contracts for 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. Please read the contracts carefully and familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions.

Incident Report
Any member of the UNC Asheville community can fill out an incident report, whether you believe a policy or law has been broken or an incident has happened which should be documented. Filling out an incident report does not necessarily mean that someone will get into trouble, it simply goes to the appropriate personnel for further investigation. To begin the process, fill out an Incident Report using the link below. Once completed, you’ll be able to route the report to appropriate personnel as well as keep a copy for yourself.
Services & Amenities
To request maintenance, housekeeping, or room setup services, please email resmaint@unca.edu and routine requests should be resolved within 24 hours Monday through Friday. Requests received after hours will be responded to on the next business day.
