Housing Requirements

Exemptions

A&M-Texarkana campus has a one-year live on requirement for new first time in college students.  Once you have lived in BLV for one year, you are not required to live on campus any longer. All exemptions to the University housing requirement must be documented and approved by the Office of Residence Life. Students who live within 45 miles of campus are exempt from living in Bringle Lake Village. Exemption forms for students who do not meet either of these requirements are available below.

The Housing Exemption request deadline schedule is as follows:

  • Fall Semester - July 1st (for students who have been admitted or who have submitted housing applications prior to June 15th. Students admitted or who have applied for housing after June 15th, will
    have a deadline that is two weeks before fall classes begin.
  • Spring Semester - November 15th (for students who have been admitted or who have submitted housing applications prior to November 1st. Students admitted or who have applied for housing after November 1st, will have a deadline that is two weeks before Spring classes begin.

Any questions can be directed to the Assistant Director of Residence Life at housing@tamut.edu.

Meal Plan Requirements

The University requires all students residing within Bringle Lake Village to purchase a meal plan. Students who live off campus are not required to purchase a meal plan. If you have been exempted from housing, you are not required to purchase a meal plan.

Meal Plan Exemptions

  • All residents of on campus housing are required to have a meal plan. There are very limited opportunities to receive an exemption for the meal plan requirement. These considerations include dietary restrictions that cannot be accommodated by our food service provider, or specific medical necessities which require appropriate documentation. Failure to use the dining program, class schedule, sports schedule, employment schedule, finances, vegetarian/vegan/organic diets are not viable reasons for an exemption.
  • All exemption request decisions are final, and a student may only make one request per semester.

The Meal Plan Exemption request deadline schedule is as follows:

  • Fall Semester – July 1st (for student who have been admitted or who have submitted housing applications prior to June 15th. Students admitted or who have applied for housing after June 15th, will have a deadline that is two weeks before fall classes begin.
  • Spring Semester - November 15th (for students who have been admitted or who have submitted housing applications prior to November 1st. Students admitted or who have applied for housing after November 1st, will have a deadline that is two weeks before Spring classes begin.
  • Summer Semester – Students who have approved meal plan exemptions for the prior spring or following fall semesters will be automatically exempt from the summer meal plan requirement, unless approved as a short-term accommodation. Any new summer resident who feels their needs merit an exemption based on the above criteria, may apply before the week prior to move-in.
