Completing the process for On-Campus Housing
Only after a prospective student is admitted to the university will the steps involved in the housing process be completed. If you applied for on-campus housing, you’ll have to be admitted to the university and pay your admissions enrollment deposit before you’ll be awarded an on-campus housing contract.
When you receive your housing contract, you’ll have a limited amount of time to print, complete, sign, and submit the contract along with a required $300 advance room payment.
Make your housing choices online as soon as you submit your signed contract. The room assignment process begins April 15. You may continue to update your choices after this date, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to assign you to one of your choices.
Notification of room assignments are mailed in mid-July. You are not guaranteed the residence hall you choose. Your contract is for space on campus and not for a particular building.
Checking on Your Housing Status
As soon as you apply for housing, you’ll be able to check the status of your housing application by logging in using your UT EID and password.
If you applied for financial aid, some of the aid you receive may be used to help cover your housing costs. To find out more about your options, visit TexasScholarships.org.
