Sign Contract by Mail

If you do not wish to sign a contract online, you have the option of completing it by mail:

1. Download and print your contract:
   
   • 2021-2022 Contract
2. Review and sign the contract.
3. If you are under 18, have a parent or legal guardian complete the Parent/Guardian Verification Form.
4. Prepare a $150 housing prepayment as a check or money order made out to Northern Illinois University. If you are a fall applicant, you do not need to make a prepayment if you were living in the residence halls during the previous spring semester.

5. Mail the contract, the Parent/Guardian Verification Form (if applicable), and a $150 housing prepayment (if applicable) to:

   Housing and Residential Services
   Neptune East 101
   Northern Illinois University

   Alternatively, if you are only completing a contract and do not need to send a prepayment, you may fax your completed contract (and Parent/Guardian Verification Form, if applicable) to Housing and Residential Services at 815-753-9669 or scan and email to housing@niu.edu.
