Housing Rate Information
Housing at the UTRGV Residence Halls is available for UTRGV students, faculty, staff, and participants of University-sponsored programs. Individuals seeking housing accommodations at the University must sign a Reservation Agreement identifying either a 9-month fall/spring lease period, a 3-month summer lease period or a full year 12-month lease period. Space in our residence halls is reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
Select holidays and breaks are not included in the agreement, as the residence halls officially close and meal plans are inactive.
