The University does not assume parental responsibility for students; however, the university is concerned with the well-being of every member of the university community. Housing regulations and policies allow the maximum amount of freedom and responsibility for each student which is consistent with an orderly campus and residential environment. The Residence Life Handbook covers all housing policies and procedures including quiet hours, cooking appliances, possession of alcohol, drugs and firearms, keys, damage complaints, hall closing, etc. All students are encouraged to carefully read the Residence Life Handbook, which can be accessed on the housing website.

Room Assignments
Texas Woman’s University is an equal opportunity institution and, as such, assigns space to qualified, enrolled, degree-seeking students without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, disability, or age, as provided by law and in accordance with the University’s respect for personal dignity and Housing and Dining’s commitment to valuing human diversity. Basic housing is a room occupied by two persons of the same gender. Registered sex offenders and students convicted of any felony will not be eligible to live in the University residence halls or apartments. Assignments to a specific building, type of housing, room/apartment capacity, or specific roommate(s) are not guaranteed. Housing is not guaranteed by completing the housing application process. If a prospective resident has completed the Housing and Dining application process by the appropriate deadline and the University is unable to grant housing due to occupancy levels, he or she will be refunded their deposit.
The University reserves the right to change room or hall assignments, to relocate individuals, or groups of individuals to eliminate a disruptive environment or to consolidate vacancies. When a vacancy occurs, the University reserves the right to show the room and assign a new occupant.
Residents assigned to a space that has unoccupied beds or bedrooms should expect another student to be assigned to these spaces at any time. Notification of a new roommate will be sent to students when possible; however, this is not always the case. Residents should not utilize unoccupied beds, furniture or space so that it will be available to an incoming student at any time. All unoccupied spaces should be kept accessible and clean.
