We guarantee it!

We all love to hear that phrase, right?

As Tommy from Tommy Boy so memorably puts it, "Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to feel all warm and toasty inside." Sure, guarantees give people the warm fuzzies, but here at the University of Minnesota we're a bit more serious about the guarantees we make.

Let's say you want to earn your degree in four years. You want to live on campus. You want a job on campus.

You're in luck! The University of Minnesota guarantees all three for new freshmen:
  • Freshman housing guarantee
  • Freshman four-year graduation guarantee
  • Freshman job guarantee
Stay tuned to learn more about each of the guarantees that the University of Minnesota offers all admitted first-year freshman!

Freshman housing guarantee

As a University of Minnesota student, you can choose to live in a campus residence hall or apartment. By living on campus, you will find academic and social support to help you be successful. Currently, over 75 percent of new freshmen live in University housing.

The University of Minnesota guarantees housing to all admitted first-year freshmen who are willing to accept assignment to any space designated, and who:
  • Submit the housing application-contract with the $25 non-refundable housing application fee to Housing & Residential Life no later than May 1; and
  • Submit the enrollment confirmation fee to the Office of Admissions no later than May 1.
We encourage you to apply early! Housing assignments are based on the date your housing application-contract is received. When you apply early, you increase your chances of receiving your first-choice residence hall.
