University of Central Florida Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
UCF does not maintain a universal live-on requirement for all freshmen, though certain housing scholarship programs and residential learning communities may come with residency expectations. Students should review their specific offer or program terms to confirm any applicable housing commitments.
Off-Campus Eligibility
All students, including first-year students not bound by a specific program requirement, may choose to live off campus. The neighborhoods along the Alafaya Trail, in Waterford Lakes, and in nearby Oviedo and Casselberry are popular off-campus destinations well-served by the campus connector routes.
Lease Timing
Most landlords in the UCF area begin marketing units for the following academic year around October and November. Signing early in this window gives students the best access to well-located units at reasonable prices before spring demand pushes availability lower.
Housing policies change frequently. Always verify current requirements directly with University of Central Florida before signing a lease.
