We would also like to take a moment to remind you how quickly our housing fills. It is important for you and your roommate(s) to complete your application and pay your fees early.

If you are not assigned a room during a particular auto assignment then your application will remain active until the next auto assignment period.  It is university policy that all freshmen live on campus. As an incoming freshman, please rest assured that you will be provided temporary accommodations, should regular housing space become filled, until we can provide you a permanent room assignment.

Meal Plan
During room selections, you will also be required to choose your desired meal plan. All students who live on campus are required to purchase a meal plan. We suggest you review the meal plan options by visiting the dining services website at the following link before room selections begin: http://www.campusdish.com/en-US/CSS/UnivTennChat/MealPlans/MealPlanOptions.htm Although meal plans are chosen through the housing website, please direct all meal plan questions to the Mocs Card Office at (423) 425-4109.
