UAT sponsors a unique student housing program in our on campus residence hall. Founder’s Hall is full of innovators, technophiles and future industry leaders who have found their home away from home here.
Founder’s Hall is the center of UAT’s vibrant Residence Life Community. Situated right on campus, Founder’s Hall is just one minute across the quad from your classes and is the perfect complement to the UAT classroom experience.
Founder’s has full wireless coverage. The high-definition Movie Room is equipped with a 120-inch, 1080p projection screen and 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound. The residence hall’s Think Tanks are unique, soundproof rooms equipped with whiteboards, and workspace to help you and your friends plan out the next big innovation. Second floor community space includes three lounges to play billiards, ping pong, cards or challenge your peers to epic video game competitions in our newly designed Video Game Lounge. Even the laundry facility is connected to the Internet so you can check to see if the machines are open or in use! And the Fitness Center has all the equipment you need to stay in top shape including a treadmill, elliptical, universal machine, bench and free weights.
There is nothing as important to us as the safety and security of all members of the UAT community. In order to ensure that UAT's campus is as safe as possible for every member of our community, all students, faculty and staff members are given the shared responsibility of helping us maintain a secure environment.
The Residence Life Community features shared living arrangements with double occupancy rooms. Some rooms have a private bathroom for you and your roommate and others have Jack-and-Jill bathrooms shared by only two rooms. No community bathrooms here!
The price per student includes all utilities, and internet.
A deposit of $550 is required to reserve your space. $400 of the deposit is refundable if all move-out procedures are followed correctly and there are no damages. $150 is a non-refundable administrative fee.

Residents of Founder's Hall will live in one of these two-suite options. All units are two people per room. Each will have their own individual lease.
All first-year undergraduate students are required to live in the Residence Life Community during their first year at University of Advancing Technology (UAT).
There are limited exceptions to this policy (for example, if you are married). A student who wishes to reside outside of the Residence Life Community must submit this application to the University and furnish appropriate documentation or other written information supportive of the request 30 days prior to the semester the student wishes to commence residing outside the Residence Life Community.
A student should inquire in advance about requesting permission from the University for independent housing in order to avoid inconvenience for the student and the University.
Prior to entering into any type of rental or lease agreement, a student should secure a written authorization for independent housing.
*If you are age 17 or younger, please be sure that you and your parent or guardian sign the document.
To live outside of the Residence Life Community, students must submit an Application for Independent Housing and furnish appropriate documentation - along with any other written information supportive of the request—30 days prior to the semester the student wishes to commence residing off campus. The General Manager of Founder's Hall shall approve or deny all applications in writing.
Please send an Application for Independent Housing to the following address:
University of Advancing Technology
ATTN: Brittany Belscher
2625 W. Baseline Rd.
Tempe, AZ 85283-1056
Any questions should be directed to Lindsay Consalvos. It is the student's responsibility to follow up and maintain communication with Lindsay Consalvos to ensure the application for Independent Housing was received and that determination of final decision was made.
Lindsay Consalvos will make every effort to ensure all students receive assistance in finding housing.
When is the first day I can move in?
The first day you can move in depends on which semester you intend to begin at UAT. Move-in dates generally occur at least one full week before classes begin.
What is the parking situation?
Students are encouraged to walk, bike and utilize public transportation. A UAT Parking Permit must be displayed on any vehicle parked in the UAT campus lot. UAT Parking Permits become available for purchase the first week of each semester through the UAT Intranet for $75 per vehicle/per semester. Free parking may be available behind Fry’s Electronics Store. All parking, on campus and off, is at the vehicle owner’s risk.
Do you allow pets?
No pets are allowed in the dorms including fish.
May I move in early?
The Office of Residence Life bases early and mid-semester check-in to University-sponsored housing upon availability and approval. Residents who take an early or mid-semester check-in may not be able to live with preferred roommates due to availability. The pricing structure outlined under PAYMENT SCHEDULES above begins from the first day that Residence Life check-in is scheduled, and all housing costs are due prior to check-in. Any early check-ins must be approved by UAT and Residence Life, and, if available, are extremely limited.
Who you live with will profoundly impact your college experience.
The Office of Residence Life understands this, so we'd like to give you the opportunity to find compatible roommates who will foster your growth throughout your educational journey at UAT. Here are some tips to help make the roommate search a whole lot easier.
Please remember that the Office of Residence Life will make every effort to ensure that roommate requests are fulfilled. However, we may be unable to fulfill some requests for various reasons, such as space limitations or other factors.
UAT's Office of Residence Life manages University-sponsored housing. Resident Assistants (RAs) are available to assist students with their transition to university life, and also during their educational journey at UAT. RAs are current students who act as student advocates and mentors for the students living within the UAT community. They are an informative source for campus activities, academic matters, campus and community resources, and administrative procedures. Please feel free to send your questions and requests to Founders@uat.edu or call 480-351-7929.
