Admissions Overview

Admission to International House at the University of Chicago is a selective process that attempts to bring together individuals from a wide variety of regions, cultures and institutions.  Applicants must complete an Application for Residence and submit an application payment.  If admitted, all applicants are required to sign an International House Housing Agreement before taking occupancy. Prospective residents will receive their room assignment after the Housing Agreement has been accepted and prior to the beginning of the term.  Early arrival and extended stay reservations are available for residents with a valid housing agreement for a limited number of days.
