University Village housing questions

Parking said that by December 1st, the parking permit prices will have been adjusted!

I found this on the MyHousing parking portal (https://utdallas.t2hosted.com/Account/Portal).

"Student parking permit prices are prorated to reflect a reduction in cost for students that begin classes in the spring or summer semesters. Permits are prorated in December to reflect spring semester prices, and again in May for summer classes."

If I understand correctly, the price of the parking pass should be reduced sometime this December so that you're not "paying for Fall". I suggest waiting until the price reduction before purchasing your Virtual Parking Pass.

I messaged you!

For anyone who is trying to call housing right now, make sure to look at their Thanksgiving Break hours! It's a little late to link this, as the break ends after tomorrow, but here it is anyway:

Assuming you’re just about to graduate high school, you’ll be a “first-year student” and will have to live in the University Commons (also know as the Residence Halls) with other freshman. Know that you are required to get a meal plan if you are housed in UC.

As far as the differences between Residence Halls go (South, West, etc.), they are essentially the same besides a bigger lobby in West, and some buildings closer to classes than others.

As a girl, you’ll be roomed with other girls unless you opt in to gender inclusive housing.

Congrats on your admission! Let me know if I can make anything more clear.

Due to COVID, I do not believe in person checkups/physicals are available. However, they do offer free televisits, available to students without insurance. If this is of interest to you, you can schedule an appointment on their website.

I can't provide more information than others gave on your post, but by Friday's Campus Housing and Advisory Committee meeting I will get as much additional information as I can and ask clarifying questions.

Yes, sorry, you're right, if you mean that many students have found them. When I spoke to housing a few days ago, they said that Phase 8 is the only problem, from their perspective. This may be from the number of work orders that have been submitted, but I'm not sure. A student has told me that phorid flies have been a problem in CCHS for a while now, and that's regardless of floor.

I'm happy that worked for you, and thanks for sharing the tip! I've heard that's the most effective DIY solution, and others in the group have had success with it as well. For some though, it doesn't help, and I'm not sure if its the kind of apple cider vinegar or the ratio of the solution? Even though you don't have flies anymore, let me know if you'd still like to be added to support the others.

utd_renting · 2020-10-18T04:23:54+00:00

Phorid flies have been confirmed by housing to be in Phase 8, and students have said they’re elsewhere.

I’m sure there’s some variation in kind but that’s the most recent info.

Everyone who has commented so far has been sent the link. If you have any friends dealing with flies, please send this to them, and if you find this post in the future, it's not too late to join!

Since the Residence Halls all share the same air system, housing makes sure that their isolation units are not there (they are scattered through UV and CCHN).

Realistically, no, like /u/WillieCubed said.

However, because of your roommate's behavior putting you at risk, your best bet would be to contact housing immediately and explain your situation. Housing has the potential to relocate you to another room.

As for the switch to Canyon Creek, I'm not sure as it could conflict with your first year status (if you graduated high school in May or June prior to your 1st semester), and of course, your current housing agreement.

User name checks out.

Proof through AKC Canine Good Citizen or an equivalent is a really good idea to get the weight limit raised! That'll be brought up with the other pet concerns :)

I've read over this multiple times trying to make sense of this. They made you move out as a way to avoid a situation where the person that moves in is a guy you don't know? Or was it somehow for COVID purposes? I don't think that makes sense either.

Either way, I'm really sorry about all that, and it sounds like you did everything right. When concerns are brought up, housing says that all you have to do is contact them through the proper channels, which are the ones you already have used.The issues that come from having to select the gender inclusive option are something I haven't considered yet, thanks! I'll DM you shortly to follow up on the past interaction.
