This answer preserves school guidance recorded on 2026-09-01. Follow the linked university sources for current requirements, costs and dates.
RAs are student leaders living in the community; Area Coordinators and other professional Residence Life staff manage higher-level residential operations.
UTampa residence halls use Resident Assistants for day-to-day community support and an initial student contact. Professional live-in staff such as Area Coordinators supervise communities, respond to escalated concerns and administer Residence Life processes.
