Accessing Housing Application:

UMPI uses Erezlife housing software. Students need to log into the housing portal (https://umpi.erezlife.com/) using their UMS email and password. Once the application opens on February 18, 2025, UMPI students will be able to see the application under the “Recommended Actions” in the middle of the home screen or on the left “Housing” Tab. Please note that if you are a UMFK nursing student, please read the UMFK Housing Section below as your application process is slightly different than UMPI Students. 

UMFK Students

UMPI will house UMFK students in our residence halls who are taking classes at UMPI. The application process for UMFK students involves one extra step. UMFK students who want to submit a housing application must log into the housing portal (https://umpi.erezlife.com/) using their UMS email and password. 

As they are not UMPI students, this will create them a guest account. UMFK students must then email umpi-reslife@maine.edu requesting access to our housing application. Our office will create an application in their profile. UMFK students will then be able to go to the housing portal and complete/submit the housing application. UMFK students interested in a roommate will follow the same instructions above. 

Housing Accommodations:

Students requesting housing accommodations (ESA, medical single, etc) must contact the Office of Disability Services’s Director Mary Kate Barbosa (mary.barbosa@maine.edu) to make the request. Her office has forms that must be completed by your medical provider and submitted to her office for review. The Office of Disability Services will notify the Residence Life Office of what accommodations are approved.
