Can my student live in a UT Austin residence hall again after the first year?

DIRECT ANSWER

Yes, but returning-student housing is availability-based and is not guaranteed.

Current residents may participate in UT's renewal process beginning in October. The priority renewal deadline is October 31, and returning-student offers depend on available space and application date. If the renewal process is missed, a student can still apply, but UT explicitly says a contract cannot be guaranteed.
