Single Student Housing
The Seminary is looking forward to the opening of the new urban apartment facility planned for our single students which is scheduled to open
during the summer of 2008. This Single Student Housing facility will provide housing for single men and women in an on-campus facility that is located just next to the Swiss Tower. While all of the apartments on any given floor will be assigned to one or the other gender, the amenities throughout the central core of the floors will be shared by all.
Newly admitted and current students may download the "Single Apartment Application" on the Forms and Information page of CampusNet.

After that period, the current residents may add up to two more roommates, if desired, and the rent would increase by $50 per additional roommate to compensate for additional utilities, wear and tear to facilities, and general operational costs.
Terms and Conditions
This complex is for single students without children. All residents must be DTS students taking a minimum of six credit hours per semester at the Dallas campus toward a degree (summer not required) or Ph.D. students making reasonable progress in their studies. The lease period is for 12 months and eligible residents may renew annually in May; specific amendments will be available for those graduating in Summer/December. Only birds and fish are permitted in the apartment or in the complex.
Waiting List
The waiting list may be consistently long. Newly admitted students should therefore not depend solely upon occupying a campus apartment during their first year at DTS and should explore off-campus options for back-up living arrangements. Please contact the Housing Office for information about off-campus opportunities.
Parking
There is one assigned parking space allotted per bedroom (i.e. one-bedroom apartments allotted one spot and two-bedroom apartments are allotted two spots).
Security
The DTS Campus Police is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
