Apartment Life

Welcome Home!

Living in campus apartments provides an opportunity for independent living within a community of peers and friends, while still enjoying the support and convenience of being on campus. Beyond mere convenience and location, living on campus allows you to fully embrace the college experience – a unique opportunity that extends beyond graduation.

The UTulsa apartment community comprises five villages on campus and one located walkable distance off campus.

  • Prepping for Move-In

    Check-in Process:
    The apartment checkin process is so easy. Please follow the information provided in your check-in notice. Be sure to know your move-in date that is provided in your My Housing Status page in the Housing and Dining Portal. The simple steps to checking in include:

    1. Arriving on the day you are assigned to check in after 9 a.m.
    2. If you are the first person to check into the apartment, please provide the electric account information (service address and account number). See instructions below.
    3. Receive your key.
    4. Look for an email with your apartment condition form and document the condition of your new apartment.

    Instructions for setting up an electric account: 

    Important: Check-In process information is required to receive your apartment keys, so not completing the process before you arrive will delay your check-in until it can be completed.

    Create your Electric Account:

    University Apartment residents maintain an electric account number for the entire occupancy period they are assigned to an apartment, both during living and storage periods. Please contact AEP/PSO to establish an electric account. If you have a roommate, only one of you will need to set up this account. If your roommate has the account in their name and they move out, you must establish an active account upon his/her departure. To set up an account, please contact AEP/PSO (Public Service Company of Oklahoma) or 888-216-3523.

    Move-in Day

    On your scheduled move-in day go to the ​​​​​​​Apartment Community House the corner of 3rd and Delaware Ave. Bring your student ID card. Please make sure you have completed your pre-check-in process and set up your electric account.

  • Pack Necessities

    Prepping for your first apartment means making sure you have the necessities, including furniture, small appliances, dishes, utensils, cookware, and more ahead of time. Start packing or purchasing these items, or see if your family has any they can donate to you. Here are a few items to make sure you have at move-in:

    The pools are a great place for campus residents to hang out during the summer and we want everyone to enjoy themselves. All residents should have their student ID card to access and be in the pool area. In order to ensure everyone has a safe and fun time at the pool, we would like to remind everyone of some important pool policies:

    • Glass is prohibited anywhere within the fence of the pool area. Tulsa Health Dept requires that if broken glass is found within the fence the entire pool be shut down for days to drain, clean, and refill the pool. Therefore a no-tolerance fine of $250 plus restitution will be charged to anyone discovered with a glass container in the fenced pool area.
    • Alcohol and tobacco products including cigarettes and vaping are not permitted in pool area.
    • Animals prohibited from the pool area.
    • No lifeguard on duty. No running, horse play, and please do not swim alone.
    • Only campus residents with their student ID are permitted to use the pools.
    • No persons under the age of 18 may be in the pool area unless their parent or guardian is a campus resident and supervising them from within the pool area.
  • Apartment Community House (ACH)

    The Apartment Community House (ACH) is location on the corner of 3rd and Delaware in the Norman Village apartment community. Services provided include move-in check-in and check-out, equipment check-out (including vacuums), and help with all your apartment-related questions.
