Go Here! Live There!
CVTC is happy to partner with the University of Wisconsin River Falls (UWRF) to offer an on-campus living
opportunity for enrolled students.
Message from UWRF Department of Residence Life:
UWRF welcomes CVTC students to the UWRF campus and its residence hall community. We strive to create residence hall environments where students engage socially and academically, experience a sense of belonging, and feel supported by staff and peers. The following information will guide you through the application process and answer several of your questions. Reach out to our office if you need assistance or have additional questions.
Why live in the UWRF residence halls? The residence halls offer benefits including:
Convenience: Located close to the CVTC River Falls campus; eat on-campus using your meal plan; no monthly bills because utilities are included.
Support: Residence Hall Area Coordinators, Community Assistants, and Residence Assistants (RA's), provide support for students living on campus. Thus, these students tend to thrive socially and academically.
Friends: Residence hall students make friends and meet others with common and/or unique interests.
Leadership: Students involved in campus activities help build their technical and soft skills that increase their confidence and enhance their resume.
Important to know:
- Monday, June 2 at Noon is the deadline to apply.
- Students must commit to living in the residence halls for two semesters (August 29, 2025 - May, 22 2026).
- Students must remain in good academic standing, minimum 2.0 GPA, and be enrolled in at least twelve credits.
- Residence halls eligibility may be affected by past or current criminal convictions or student conduct violations.
- A meal plan through UWRF Dining Services is required. Students are automatically placed in a 45-block meal plan. Changes are allowed at the start of each semester.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the housing located?
CVTC students will live in UWRF's first-year experience halls located less than one mile from the CVTC River Falls campus. You may submit a request for a different hall (not guaranteed, and subject to room availability. Also, students must meet minimum eligibility for those halls, and must pay additional cost if there is a higher cost for that hall). See the "Frequently Asked Questions" on the UWRF web page here for full details.
How much will it cost?
The anticipated cost for a traditional double room for 2025-26 is $2,550 per semester. This room rate is pending Board of Regents approval, which will happen before summer, 2025.
Total costs will vary based on the meal plan selected.
Financial Aid (if eligible) can be used to pay for residence hall living expenses. You should check "On Campus" in Step Six (School Code and Housing Plan) on your FAFSA to maximize eligibility. A financial aid adjustment may not increase eligibility for funding. Contact the CVTC Financial Aid Officer for more information.
What meal plans are available for 2025-2026?
All students must be on a meal plan contracted through UWRF Dining Services. CVTC students will automatically be placed on the 45-block meal plan. You may choose to change your meal plan to the 14 weekly, 21 weekly, or 75-block plan within the first seven days of meal plan service.
