Applying for Housing is Quick and Easy!

How to Apply for Housing

From your myUTTyler homepage:

Select the housing application for the academic year you plan to live on campus.

For example:

Review the housing options available and select whether you would like to be considered for a placement at University Pines Apartments or exercise your first right of refusal and request placement in UT Tyler Managed Housing. The Housing Portal includes a comparison chart to help you understand the differences between each option before making your selection.

University Pines Apartments
  • Managed by Campus Living Villages (CLV USA)
  • Satisfies the On-Campus Residency Requirement when space is available
  • Students may be placed at University Pines before placements are made in UT Tyler Managed Housing
UT Tyler Managed Housing
  • Managed by Housing & Residence Life
  • Includes:
    • Patriot Village
    • Ornelas Hall
    • Liberty Landing
    • Victory Village
  • Students who do not wish to be considered for a University Pines placement may select this option as part of their application

Step 5: Complete Your Housing Application (UT Tyler-Managed Properties)

Carefully review and complete each section of the application, including:

  • Personal information
  • Emergency contact information
  • Housing preferences**
  • Roommate preferences** (if applicable)

Click Save & Continue to move through the process.

Step 6: Submit Your Application Fee

During the application process, you will be prompted to pay the $125 housing application fee. Your application is not complete until the payment has been successfully submitted.

Important Information About Housing Applications and Fees

Students who choose to be considered for placement at University Pines Apartments will complete a brief information form through the UT Tyler Housing Portal and then be redirected to the Campus Living Villages (CLV USA) University Pines website to complete their housing application, sign their housing agreement, and pay any applicable application fees.
Students who choose to decline consideration for a University Pines placement and instead apply for UT Tyler Managed Housing will continue through the UT Tyler Housing Portal to complete their application, housing contract, and associated application fee requirements.
Please note that University Pines Apartments and UT Tyler Managed Housing operate as separate housing entities with separate application processes and fees. Application fees paid to one housing provider do not transfer to the other. If you cancel an application with UT Tyler Managed Housing and subsequently apply to University Pines, or cancel an application with University Pines and subsequently apply to UT Tyler Managed Housing, you will be responsible for any applicable application fees required by the housing provider to which you are applying. These fees are nonrefundable. 

Need Help with the Application Fee?

If you are concerned about your ability to pay the housing application fee upfront, please contact the Housing team. Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for an application fee deferral, which allows the charge to be added to your fall student account rather than paid at the time of application.

Please note that UT Tyler does not offer application fee waivers, and application fees cannot be removed or reduced. All applicants are responsible for paying the required application fee either at the time of application or through an approved fee deferral arrangement. If you believe you may qualify for a deferral, our team is happy to discuss your options and assist you through the process.

Step 7: Review and Sign Your Housing Contract

Once your application is complete, review the housing contract and electronically sign all required documents. You will receive a confirmation and copy of the housing contract after submission.

Step 8: Watch for Next Steps

After submitting your application, keep an eye on your UT Tyler email for updates beginning closer to the end of the spring semester regarding:

  • Room selection (Certain eligibility requirements apply)
  • Roommate matching (Certain eligibility requirements apply)
  • Housing assignment information
  • Move-in details

** Room type, facility, and roommate preferences are not guaranteed.
