An “intern” is a person who desires to reserve a space in UAH Housing who is not enrolled in classes 

at UAH. This includes co-op students and visiting scholars. Each intern shall be required to fill out an application and to submit payment prior to receiving room access. 

Reserving a Room 

Interns must complete an Intern Housing Application and submit a deposit to the Housing Office. The deposit will be applied to the balance due for housing. You may pay the fee by check, cash or credit card. To pay by credit card please telephone the Housing Office (256) 824-6108. Please note: there is a 2.75% service fee on all credit card payments. 

Submitting Applications 

After completing your application, you may submit your application online by using the submit button. You may also print and mail your application with your deposit. Submitting online or faxing your application you will need to call the housing office to pay by card or USPS mail your deposit.

Location 

Room assignments are based on availability. There may be certain instances when an intern will be asked to complete a room change. University Housing will make every effort to avoid changes. If relocation becomes necessary, UAH will notify the resident as far in advance as possible.

Checking In to your Room 

Interns check in at the front desk of the Residence Hall they are assigned.

Failure to abide by UAH housing policies can result in being asked to leave University Housing.
