On-Campus Housing
Texas A&M University provides rooms for more than 10,000
single students on the campus. Each student is responsible
for respecting the rights of others and for maintaining an
atmosphere conducive to study and to harmonious community living.
Meals and laundry service are optional.
A person has to be admitted to the University to apply for
on-campus housing. An application for on-campus housing is
mailed with the letter of admission to undergraduate applicants.
To apply for on-campus housing, complete applications should
be submitted to the Housing Assignments Office with the required
nonrefundable application fee and deposit. On-line applications
are available with the use of a credit card. On-campus housing
is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is usually
limited for the fall semester, so applications should be made
as soon as the choice for housing is determined. Any special
housing-related requests or concerns should be addressed by
letter with the application. Medical related considerations
need to have a supporting statement from a physician submitted
with the housing application.
Contracts for on-campus housing will be offered starting
in early February for a fall semester and late October for
a spring semester admission. If a prospective student is not
offered on-campus housing, he or she will be notified to make
other housing arrangements.
After receiving a housing application, questions may be directed
to:

The deposit, less deductions for unnecessary wear and damage,
will be returned to a student: (1) who graduates, (2) who is
withdrawn from or denied admission to the University for scholastic
deficiencies or (3) who requests a refund on completion of
his or her housing contract period. The deposit will be refunded
in full if a reservation is canceled prior to signing a housing
contract. After a housing contract has been signed for the
next academic year, deposit refunds are made according to the
dates outlined in the housing contract. If a student cancels
the academic year housing contract during the contract period,
the housing deposit is subject to forfeiture. Additionally,
any cancellation for the spring semester not outlined in the
exceptions listed in the contract will be subject to a charge
equal to 50 percent of the spring semester's room rent. The
term of the contract is for the academic year, or if entered
into after the start of the fall semester, for the remainder
of the academic year. Exceptions to this policy may be made
for students who cancel their contracts for the following reasons:
Texas A&M University co-op assignment, student teaching
assignment, academic restrictions, graduation or medical withdrawal.

Residence Hall Association
The Residence Hall Association (RHA) is a student organization
with a two-fold mission: (1) to develop leaders within our
residence hall community and (2) to act as the representative
body for all on-campus students, excluding the Corps of Cadets
and University Apartment residents. All residents are members
of RHA with representation from each hall council meeting
at a biweekly general assembly to share information and voice
concerns to administrators about events/issues affecting
on-campus life. RHA also allows for a number of student leadership
positions, that include five elected executives and ten selected
directors, in which students can serve. RHA also is involved
in the creation of educational, social and community programming
for on-campus residents.

Off-Campus Student Housing and Services
The Department of Student Life's Adult, Graduate and Off-Campus
Student Services office keeps up-to-date information on apartment
listings, rooms and houses for rent, maps, shuttle bus and
other resources pertinent to the off-campus student. An interactive
Internet service called Aggie Search provides students 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week access to apartment listings and roommate
search options. A roommate referral service is available to
help students find a person with whom to live. The Off-Campus
Living Survival Manual is updated each spring to introduce
students to the community. This manual covers such topics as
leases, transportation, security deposits, cost estimates and
food arrangements. The office assists students who are experiencing
problems with their roommates or property managers and helps
students become informed consumers.
Students should begin
their search for off-campus housing one semester in advance
of the semester they will be needing housing. Information
