Your Space is the Place: Room Selection 2023-2024 launches in February 2023.

During our room selection period, current or new residential students at TWU will complete their 2023-2024 Housing application, sign their Housing Contract, match with a roommate and select their new room space. Housing applications for 2023-2024 are open now for new, incoming residential students. Current residential students can apply for next year’s housing beginning February 1.

Throughout the month of February, Housing & Dining will host an array of Information Sessions, Tabling Events and in-hall programs to provide students with room selection info and swag (including t-shirts and more!), so be sure to stop and visit with us if you see Housing & Dining tabling in your residence hall, the Dining Hall or the Student Union!

To get the full scoop on the steps to take, when to apply and when to select your room and roommate, visit www.canvas.brgarrison.com/room-selection/, review the Room Selection Instructions (pdf) document and keep an eye out for more announcements from Housing & Dining as we approach the beginning of the 2023-2024 room selection period, starting in February.

Mental Health Services

We recognize this is a challenging time for everyone. Embedded Housing psychologist Dr. Kristina Rodriguez and Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) staff want to do their best to be supportive while also protecting the safety and well-being of clients and staff. The following information serves as the current plan for providing mental health services this fall semester.

Per recent recommendations from the CDC and governing organizations in the field, CAPS will primarily conduct therapy sessions via confidential video conference or phone. To inquire further about services or schedule an intake session, please call the main CAPS office at 940-898-3801.

Additionally, all group therapy and outreach events/workshops will be conducted virtually through video conference.

If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, you may call the TWU Department of Public Safety at 940-898-2911 and ask to speak to the on-call therapist, both during and after business hours.

Illness on Campus

TWU students, faculty, staff, and visitors should remain diligent about protecting themselves from COVID-19. This includes monitoring for symptoms, isolating after a positive test, and taking other precautions depending on personal risk factors. Individuals who feel sick, test positive, or have been exposed to the virus should follow current CDC guidelines for isolation/quarantine, as well as the treatment advice of their medical provider. 

As of August 1, 2022, changes were made to the TWU COVID-19 Reporting requirements. Reporting of positive tests or exposures to Risk Management is no longer required and contact tracing will no longer be conducted.

All employees, students and visitors are recommended to self-screen for COVID-19 related symptoms BEFORE coming to any TWU campus.
