No. New students must complete the admission commitment/deposit steps before the housing application is available.

UTampa's new-student process requires the student to decide to attend and have the required $500 admission/housing deposit on file before completing the Residence Life housing application in StarRez. A student who previously paid a $300 admissions deposit must add the $200 housing amount for the full housing-related deposit.
