Residence Life

About Us

UT Tyler is home to more than 800 resident students who live in Ornelas Hall, Patriot Village or University Pines.

Located on campus, all three housing facilities are conveniently a few minutes’ walk from your classes, the library, student center and recreational facilities. Each student residence is designed especially with UT Tyler students in mind and offers first-class living arrangements.

UT Tyler Residence Life takes each student’s safety very seriously and provides staff members on duty 24 hours a day.

Mission

There are four items that make up the mission of UT Tyler Residence Life:  Keep our residents healthy.  Keep our residents happy.  Keep our residents housed.  Keep our residents here.

Missing Persons Policy

All campus residents may designate an individual as a contact who will be notified by UT Tyler within 24 hours if the resident is determined to be missing.  If you wish to designate someone other than the emergency contact you specified on your application, please send an e-mail to housing@uttyler.edu with the name and contact number of this person.  Please state this person’s relationship to you in the e-mail.

UT Tyler will notify the custodial parent or guardian of any resident who has not yet turned 18 who is reported missing within 24 hours.

UT Tyler will initiate emergency contact procedures (and notify law enforcement as applicable) for residents of any age who are determined to be missing for more than 24 hours.
