We’re glad you are here and interested in taking advantage of the on-campus housing experience. First things first though. In order for you to reserve your "home away from home", we need you to complete just a few steps. In an effort to create a sound academic atmosphere, a student must be officially accepted to the University to be eligible to apply and contract for on-campus housing. Also, all student-residents must be enrolled full-time in the University and actively pursuing a degree. Registration for six hours dissertation credit will satisfy the full-time student requirement.

Housing Applications are also available to new students through the Office of Admissions. Current University of St. Thomas students may pick up a Housing Application from the Office of Residence Life.

Effective January 1, 2010: The University of St. Thomas, in compliance with Texas House Bill 4189, requires that first-time and transfer students who plan to reside in, or have applied for on-campus housing facilities must show evidence of vaccination against bacterial meningitis.  UST also requires evidence of Tetanus-Diptheria-Pertussis (Tdap) vaccination, M.M.R. (Measles, Mumps Rubella) vaccinations, and TB skin test, in addition to the bacterial meningitis vaccination.  Only those applicants who have completed this step will receive a housing contract.

In accordance with HIPAA Privacy Laws, please note immunization records must be sent directly to the UST Health Promotions and Wellness office. Feel free to contact the health office at 713-525-3513 for more specific details on your immunizations and student health privacy.

You are almost done! Upon receipt of the completed Housing Application and verification of immunization records, The Office of Residence Life will forward the student a Housing Contract along with the Contract Terms and Conditions. All students are responsible for reading all Terms and Conditions before signing the Housing Contract.

A $300 Security Deposit should be submitted with the Housing Contract. The Security Deposit remains on record throughout the resident's tenure in housing and is returned to the student upon request, at check-out, less damages, fines, and/or other amounts due on the student's account. A placement will be reserved for the student upon receipt of the completed contract and Security Deposit.
