The Application Process
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.
Now that you have met the requirements mentioned above, you are ready to complete the steps below to reserve your space for on-campus housing:

Only those applicants who have completed this step will receive a housing contract. Please contact the UST Health Promotions and Wellness office for more details on your immunizations. |
Step 3: Complete a Housing Contract
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. 2009-2010 terms and conditions. 2010-2011 terms and conditions. |
Step 4: Submit a $300 Security Deposit
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.
