How to Apply for TLU Housing

The application process for housing is really quite easy. All students must submit the Housing Application and Matching Form when they submit the acceptance deposit. A housing contract is mailed to the student after the application and deposit are received by TLU. The completed and signed contract is returned by the student to the Residence Life Office.

The Residence Life Office does not require a separate housing deposit. Your housing deposit is taken from the $200 acceptance deposit, and the balance is credited to your University account.  

Housing Contract
The Academic Year contract provides housing during the fall and spring semesters. It does not provide housing during the period between the fall and spring semesters. Students are expected to leave campus when the fall semester ends in December and not return to campus until housing opens for the spring semester in January.

Roommates
Students may request specific roommates. Both roommates must mutually request each other to accommodate such requests, and both should request the same housing area(s). Students wishing to request a specific roommate should return their housing applications and their housing contracts as soon as possible.

Housing Assignments
Housing assignments for current residents are made according to matriculation year and semester hours accumulated. Assignments for new freshmen and transfer students are made according to the date the housing contract is received by the Residence Life Office. Housing assignments are mailed to new students beginning in July.
