Sequence of Assigning Students to Housing

who fall under the undergraduate residency requirement on campus and then undergraduates
who do not. This policy also applies during the summer for individuals seeking temporary
housing due to summer internship programs with local businesses.

We do not house anyone who is not an enrolled student at the University of Dallas,
with the following exception: organizations seeking contracted group accommodations
during the summer for summer camps, workshops, etc. should contact the Manager, Conference
