Residence Halls

Residence Halls at the University of Dallas

All full-time undergraduates at the University of Dallas fall under the mandatory residency requirement.

First Year Halls

All incoming freshmen are placed in standard double rooms with a roommate in one of our 'traditional' halls. The halls are directly supervised by Resident Assistants (RA's) and Residence Coordinators(RC's), who report to the Director of Residence Life.  Late applicants may be placed in triple or quad rooms should double rooms no longer be available.

Housing for Non-Students 

It is the policy of the University of Dallas to first house currently enrolled students 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.

Organizations seeking contracted group accommodations during the summer for summer camps, workshops, etc. should contact the Manager, Conference & Event Services at 972-721-5123 or by email here.
