Freshmen who wish to live on campus at UT Dallas will reside in one of our residence halls. Applicants who do not turn in a completed application packet will not be eligible to receive a housing agreement or assignment. On-campus housing for freshmen is not guaranteed.
Priority Application Deadline is on May 1. All applications received prior to May 1 will receive priority.
Prior to attending Freshmen Orientation, you MUST resolve any outstanding admission and registration requirements. Outstanding items on your To Do List or holds for residency, required vaccinations, or other required documents, will prevent you from registering for classes at orientation.
