Transfer students can apply for upper-division or first-year housing. If you are not sure which housing option might be best for you, consider the definitions we give in the Housing U application:
- Housing & Residential Education (HRE) typically designates buildings for first-year, upper-division, and graduate students. First-year students live in first-year buildings and upper-division and graduate students are in upper-division buildings.
- "First-Year" means you are in your first year at the University of Utah and are under 21 years of age.
- "Upper-division" means this is not your first year at the University of Utah, or you are transferring with one or more years of post-high school credit from another institution, or are 21 years of age or older.
- Graduate means you are enrolled in a graduate or professional program.
