Orientation Overnight Housing
Students Overnight Housing
We highly recommend for students to stay overnight on-campus for the full campus experience! After registering for Freshman Orientation, you can sign up to stay overnight for $62. The on-campus overnight experience is limited to students.
Please note: The Freshman Orientation and Overnight payments are two separate payments conducted by two separate departments. The Freshman Orientation payment will not reflect the Overnight.
For more information regarding the on-campus overnight experience, please check out the FAQ page linked below!
For further questions regarding overnight, please contact RCCS@utdallas.edu.
