Section II. Eligibility of the housing agreement states that:
To be eligible to live in University Housing, students must maintain student status each semester they wish to reside in University Housing and enroll in and be in the process of completing the following:
- Graduate students: at least 6 class hours of The University of Texas at Dallas course work each fall and spring semester.
- Undergraduate students: at least 9 class hours of The University of Texas at Dallas course work each fall and spring semester.
- University Approved Internships: at least 1 class hour of The University of Texas at Dallas course work each fall and spring semester.
- All students: enrollment in summer classes is not required, but registration for the following fall’s course work is required for those living in University Housing during the summer sessions.
Residents who are not enrolled in the required number of UTD credit hours for their classification as outlined above are considered to be academically non-compliant. The process regarding notification and process procedures for non-compliance is listed below.
- Step 1: On Census Day for the fall 2023 and spring 2024 terms, University Housing will pull enrollment hours for every resident.
- Step 2: Residential Life staff will be notified of residents in their areas that have been found to be non-compliant.
- Step 3: The resident will be emailed a formal notice of non-compliance via UTD email. That email will state a deadline for which they must reach out to their assigned Residential Life Coordinator or Assistant Residential Life Coordinator to discuss their situation. Contact details for the staff member will be provided in the email.
- Step 4: If the resident fails to contact the Residential Life staff member by the deadline, they will be issued a notice to vacate which requires them to vacate their apartment/suite within 3 days of receipt.
- Step 5: If the resident fails to vacate by the deadline, card access will be removed and/or locks will be changed on the unit.
According to Section VI. Cancellation Provisions. of the housing agreement:
Students who are not enrolled, are removed for conduct reasons, are financially non-compliant or academically suspended will be responsible for the full amount of the University Housing Terms and Conditions Agreement.
The cancellation schedule according to Section IV. Cancellation Provisions of the housing agreement is listed below.
CANCELLATION CHARGES FOR THE ACADEMIC-YEAR
- 0% of fall housing charges for termination prior to June 1st.
- 10% of fall housing charges for termination between June 1st and July 15th.
- 25% of fall housing charges for termination between July 16th and September 10th.
- 50% of fall housing charges for termination between September 11th and September 20th.
- 75% of fall housing charges for termination between September 21st and September 26th.
- 100% of fall & spring housing charges for termination after September 26th.
REMINDER: Your cancellation date will be recognized as your last date of occupancy. The last date of occupancy is set as the date you complete your move out. If you are asked to vacate, it is imperative that you follow all move out procedures.
Residents may be granted exceptions for the term in which they are found to be non-compliant which is why it is very important to reach out to your assigned staff member and discuss your situation.
Exceptions are not guaranteed and residents could still be required to vacate their apartment/suite.
Common reasons for exception are those graduating in the same semester they are found to be in non-compliance, students studying abroad, students completing internships (must still be enrolled in at least 1 credit hour of UTD coursework), ability to enroll in 8-week courses, etc. Every resident's situation is unique and we encourage residents to contact their Residential Life staff member should they have questions regarding their eligibility for on-campus housing.
