 | Housing Options | Apply for Housing | CostsAll full-time students are required to live in TLU housing unless they meet one of the following criteria:
- 21 years of age or older at the beginning of the fall semester
- Married
- Senior status (90 completed hours) at the beginning of the fall semester
- Commuting from the student’s permanent residence (parent or guardian) that is within a 30 mile radius of the campus
Note: All students/applicants under the age of 18 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis TLU offers students several different styles of living including suites, apartments, and traditional housing with each providing a living and learning environment that supports students’ academic, personal, and social needs and goals.
Residential and co-curricular programming focuses on providing opportunities for students to learn outside of the classroom. Many classes also offer service-learning opportunities in addition to the many symposiums, special events, and guest lectures that occur on campus on a regular basis. |

The application process for housing is simple:
- Apply and be accepted to TLU.
- Submit your acceptance deposit of $200.
- Turn in your shot records including proof of receiving a meningitis shot within the last five years.
- Log on to my.TLU.edu after February 1 to fill out your housing application, roommate matching form, meal plan, and housing contract.
- Beginning June 1, Residence Life will start housing students based on the housing application/roommate matching form submitted online. Housing is based on the date you submit the housing contract.
- During Bulldog Basics, students will be notified what building they will be living in.
- After July 4th, you can log into my.TLU.edu to check your room, residence hall assignment as well as your roommate’s name, e-mail, phone number, city, and state. This allows students to contact each other to discuss what they plan to bring to TLU in the fall.
Being a good roommate and good neighbor is important. The TLU Student Handbook provides valuable information about what students can expect from TLU and, in turn, what TLU expects from students. Students living in TLU housing are expected to be responsible and respectful, and they should expect the same from fellow residents. |

Meningitis Vaccination PolicyIn order to comply with state law, TLU requires that as of 1/1/2012 all new students, including transfer and readmissions, be immunized against bacterial meningitis (MCV4). The vaccination must have been given during the 5 year period preceding and at least 10 days prior to the first day of the first semester enrolled. Students age 30 and over are exempt from this law. Students applying for on-campus housing should check with the Office of Residence Life regarding the need to have proof of immunization before making a housing reservation.
Acceptable evidence of vaccination includes an official record from a state or local health authority, or school record, or physician’s office; including signature or stamp of practitioner and month/day/year of vaccination. Documentation should be sent to TLU Enrollment Services, 1000 W Court, Seguin, Tx, 78155 or faxed to 830-372-8096.
A student has the right to claim exemption if the student submits (1) an affidavit or certificate signed by a physician who is duly registered and licensed to practice medicine in the United States, in which it is stated that, in the physician's opinion, the vaccination would be injurious to the health of the student; or (2) an affidavit signed by the student stating that the student declines the vaccination for reasons of conscience, including religious belief. A conscientious exemption form from the Texas Department of State Health Services must be used for on campus students. A version of the form for off-campus students only may be downloaded here. This form must be notarized. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that meningococcal disease strikes up to 3,000 Americans, killing 300 people a year. Up to 15 percent of those with the disease may suffer long-term permanent disabilities including hearing loss, limb amputations and brain damage. |

| | At TLU, learning doesn't stop when you leave the classroom. Our residence halls and apartments are a hub of activity for social and educational programs and events. For many students, the community they come to know and remember is the community they developed with their roommates and suitemates.
Two-thirds of our students live on campus in our seven residence halls and four on-campus apartment complexes. Each residential living option provides a safe and welcoming environment where students can easily walk to class, Hein Dining Hall, or the fitness center at Jones Sports Complex. |
