<p>Son recently completed admission application and subsequently completed housing application. The initial housing application did not seem to include a place to indicate dorm preferences. When can dorm preferences be submitted? Is it after acceptance? Thanks.</p>
<p>i was wondering the same thing…and its not after admittance because i got accepted and still nothing</p>
<p>they’ll give you a contract later on which will let you list your top 5 dorm preferences in order. I didn’t get mine until early January last year.</p>
<p>do they email it?</p>
<p>yea. plus you’ll be able to see it in your housing status check page once they send it out to you.</p>
<p>and do you have to pay the housing deposit when you make dorm chocies, or can you hold your dorm spot until you decide to go in may, and then pay the $300?</p>
<p>I’m not completely familiar with the process, but this site should explain it better than I can.</p>

<p>You can pay the $300 and then get it back.

<p>You will receive notification that you have been offered a housing contract by email. We have not begun to email fall 2010 housing contracts yet. All new UT students who will be living on campus are required to have a bacterial meningitus vaccination before they can check in. We are waiting for a process to be established by The University to handle this newly legislated requirement before we offer the first fall contract. You will be able to enter your hall preferences when you have a housing contract.</p>
