About Tiered Housing
UVM Housing offers three tiers of structured room rates based on amenities:
- Basic: Standard rate for traditional, hall-style accommodation
- Enhanced: Spaces with increased conveniences like in-residence dining halls, or suite-style living
- Premium: Rooms in our newest halls with amenities, such as private bathrooms, climate control, in-building fitness centers, and more.
For more information about Room Styles and Types, please view our Room Rate FAQs and Hall Information page.
Offset Cost Assistance
To allow all residents the opportunity to fully participate in all themed housing choices regardless of their financial status, we offer a discretionary housing fund to offset a portion of the higher room rates in some Learning Communities (such as University Heights and Living/Learning). Financial aid packages are based on the cost of a traditional double room, but we also house students in double, triple, or single rooms arranged in private, suite, or traditional-style rooms.
Students who receive need-based assistance and are members of these programs may request offset cost assistance if:
- They are assigned to a qualifying room that is more expensive than the standard room rate and Student Financial Services determines the extra cost to be a financial hardship.
- The offset cost assistance request form is in the housing portal, visible during specific times of the year only to residents of qualified rooms.
- The deadline to request is the last day of add/drop each semester.
We're happy to offer this opportunity to our residents. For any questions, please contact us at reslife@uvm.edu or (802) 656-3434
