Inclusions & conditions
Published scope includes room, meal plan, internet and common laundry. The sources inspected do not separately itemize electricity and water; obtain the contract scope before removing the utility allowance.
UT student housing; incoming first-time freshmen are prioritized, and contracts depend on available space and housing application date.
- Accessible accommodations and common laundry are advertised. An ADA room description does not establish availability or suitability.
- The only residence hall the current general FAQ identifies as remaining open during winter break; confirm whether a separate break-housing contract and fee apply.
- The 2026–27 rates are subject to review and final approval. Applicable sales tax is excluded.
- The published fall-and-spring total is not twelve monthly payments and does not establish uninterrupted nine-month access.
- No 2027–28 room price is inferred from these 2026–27 observations. The official housing quiz marks 2027–28 rates as to be determined.
- Application-process reference: $100 nonrefundable housing application fee, waived if the admission application fee was waived; $300 prepayment is credited against the housing bill and may be deferred. These are not automatically added to an older-year contract scenario.
- Payment choices include paying the contract in full, by term at no added charge, or in six installments for $50 extra per term; card payments have a 2.3% convenience fee. Confirm the actual bill and contract.
- Applicable sales tax is additional and has not been calculated.
- Exact move-in, move-out and winter-break access dates require the selected contract.
- Electricity and water charge scope is not separately itemized on the sources inspected.
- Current application/prepayment obligations, waivers and any prior payment must be confirmed for the selected contract; payment-plan and card fees depend on choices.
