Mission
The mission of the Office of Residence Life is to foster a welcoming and engaging living experience through the Spartan Living Residential Curriculum, quality housing and excellent customer service.

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 Assignments
The Office of Residence Life prioritizes housing for first- and second-year students. To support this goal, new undergraduate fall students receive priority for housing assignments, followed by new undergraduate spring students, with incoming transfer students receiving housing assignments only on a space-available basis.Ìý

• Students are not required to live on campus.
• On-campus housing is not guaranteed for any students.
• A student’s semester of enrollment, student status (first-year or transfer) and date of housing application determine housing priority.
• Housing for continuing students is limited, and priority is given toÌý undergraduate students in their first year of college transitioning into their second year.
• Transfer students may receive a housing assignment on a space-available basis and should make alternative off-campus housing plans.Ìý

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 ourÌýFamily CommunicationÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýCustomer Service Philosophies.
