Residence Hall Handbook
More than 6,200 students call the University of Arkansas campus home each year, enjoying our vibrant and connected residential community.
This handbook is a guide to life in University Housing’s residential environment.
It describes policies relating to residents’ contractual relationship with University Housing, community living, roommate information, safety procedures and maintenance standards.
University Housing and the University of Arkansas reserve the right to update and/or change policies throughout the year.
Any questions concerning policies and procedures should be addressed to the residence education staff member in the student's residence.
