Vision
The vision of the Office of Residence Life is to empower every student by providing the resources and support they need to reach their full potential.

Housing Overview
The University of Tampa offers on-campus housing for new undergraduate students, new graduate students, and continuing students. While students are not required to live in university residence halls, on-campus housing is not guaranteed and is provided on a space-available basis.

The University strives to accommodate as many new and continuing students as possible. Most new UTampa students who apply for housing are assigned to on-campus residences, depending on space availability. Housing assignments are influenced by the date the housing application is submitted. New students are encouraged to complete their housing application promptly after confirming their enrollment at UTampa.

The Value of On-Campus Living
Living on campus at The University of Tampa enhances your academic journey by providing comfort, convenience, and a strong sense of community. Research shows that students who reside in campus housing typically achieve higher GPAs, graduate at higher rates, and report greater overall satisfaction with their college experience.

We encourage students to request needs directly to The Office of Residence Life versus families and third parties, in alignment with our Family Communication and Customer Service Philosophies.
