Housing for Non-Students It is the policy of the University of Dallas to first house currently enrolled students who fall under the undergraduate residency requirement on campus and then undergraduates who do not. This policy also applies during the summer for individuals seeking temporary housing due to summer internship programs with local businesses. We do not house anyone who is not an enrolled student at the University of Dallas.
Organizations seeking contracted group accommodations during the summer for summer camps, workshops, etc. should contact the Event Scheduling Coordinator at 972.721.5123 or by email here.
