Orientation Overnight Housing

Students Overnight Housing

We highly recommend for students to stay overnight on-campus for the full campus experience! After registering for Freshman Orientation, you can sign up to stay overnight for $62. The on-campus overnight experience is limited to students.

Please note: The Freshman Orientation and Overnight payments are two separate payments conducted by two separate departments. The Freshman Orientation payment will not reflect the Overnight.

For more information regarding the on-campus overnight experience, please check out the FAQ page linked below!

For further questions regarding overnight, please contact RCCS@utdallas.edu.

Local hotels are excited to welcome Orientation families and guests to Richardson! Majority will have many restaurants within a ½ block to 1 mile from the hotel, and less than five minutes from DART CityLine/Bush Station.
