Express Check-Out Procedures

The Department of Housing and Residence Life provides apartment-style residence halls with several floor plans, from cozy efficiencies to two- and four-bedroom units. There are also community spaces with room for studying, recreation, private mailboxes and administrative offices. All residence halls at UTEP are co-educational and ADA compliant rooms are available.

Students who live on campus are more likely to graduate on time, have a higher GPA and be more satisfied with their college experience than students who live off campus. The close proximity to both classes and campus resources makes it easier to balance studies, recreation and socializing.
