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 (except University Courts), water, wireless and hard-wired data connection, SpectrumU streadming service, laundry and local phone service are included in the lease payment for all of our Residence Halls and Apartments. 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, Arnold Pryor Place, Connor Community, 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 July 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
All students admitted to the university as first-time students are required to sign an academic year lease and reside in an on-campus residence.
Transfer students and individuals who will reach the age of 21 prior to the first day of classes of their first term of enrollment are automatically exempt from the live-on requirement and may choose not to reside in the residence halls.
Students residing in the principal residence of a parent or legal guardian within the Tennessee counties of Weakley, Henry, Carroll, Gibson, and Obion, as well as the Kentucky counties of Fulton, Hickman, and Graves, may request an exemption from the live-on requirement. To be considered for this exemption, students must submit an exemption application along with supporting documentation. Additionally, those with compelling individual circumstances will be considered for exemption upon request. Students seeking an exemption to the live-on requirement must contact the Office of Housing at 731-881-7737 or houseme@utm.edu to initiate the live-on requirement exemption review process.
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.
