Residence Life
Several housing options are available for students seeking the benefits of on-campus living. The Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Z. Ornelas Hall is a residence hall community and Patriot Village, University Pines, and Eagle’s Landing are student apartment communities on campus. Eagle’s Landing, Patriot Village, Ornelas Hall are managed directly by UT Tyler. University Pines is a privately-managed student apartment community contracted with the university to provide on campus housing. Students interested in living on campus are encouraged to apply early. The University is entitled to check the student’s criminal history record and will notify the student if this information is used to deny them housing. (Texas Government Code, Section 411.094.)
Students who have completed fewer than 60 credit hours at any junior college or university, including UT Tyler, are required to live on campus at Eagle’s Landing, Patriot Village, Ornelas Residence Hall or University Pines.
