One of the best predictors of success in college is how involved students are and how much they feel a part of the campus. The halls are positive residential communities that support the academic mission of the university. The residence halls provide programs, services and a diverse community environment that contribute to individual learning, growth and development and in which respect and responsible behavior are encouraged. The residence halls provide safe, comfortable, affordable and well-maintained facilities for residents. Electricity, water, wireless and hard-wired data connection, cable service and local phone service are included in the lease payment for all of our Residence Halls and University Village. The residence hall staff members are trained to assist students with the transition to college and to assist residents in reaching their maximum potential and personal goals.

Reservations for Housing
Applications for Ellington, Browning, Cooper, University Village or University Courts can be made online. To reserve a room, complete the housing application and submit a $50 deposit.
The housing deposit is refundable if a written request for cancellations is received in the housing office by June 1 for the fall semester or by December 1 for the spring semester. The deposit will be forfeited if the cancellation dates are not met or if the room or apartment is not claimed by 1 p.m. on the first day of class for the semester for which the student has applied. Applications received and cancelled after the cancellation dates will result in forfeiture of the deposit. Students may not transfer deposits to other applicants.
Living Off Campus
The university requires that students enrolled with less than 45 completed credit hours before the first day of classes sign an academic year lease.
Students who will be 21 before the first day of classes of their first term of enrollment are automatically exempt from the requirement to live on campus.
Students may also be exempt from the requirement to live on campus while they live in the principal residence of a parent or legal guardian within the counties of Weakley, Henry, Carroll, Gibson, and Obion in Tennessee; and the counties of Fulton, Hickman, and Graves in Kentucky. Students desiring this exemption must apply and give supporting documentation.
Requests for exemption to the live-on requirement on the basis of compelling personal circumstances will also be considered. To begin the exemption process, students should first contact Mrs. Teresa Hibbard in the Office of Housing at 731-881-7737 or thibbard@utm.edu.
Students who meet the live-on requirement, have registered for classes, and have not completed a housing application/deposit or been approved for a housing exemption will receive a housing assignment at the lowest residence hall rate.
