Housing Application Update
Our spring, summer, and fall 2025 housing applications are now open for continuing

We’re transitioning to a new Student Information System to provide a more seamless
and supportive experience as you prepare for life at UAFS.
We appreciate your patience as we make this improvement to better serve you. Living
on campus is an incredible way to dive into university life, build lifelong friendships,
and enjoy easy access to classes and campus activities. Keep an eye on your email
for updates from UAFS Admissions with all the information you need to secure your
spot—we’re here to help every step of the way.
We can’t wait to welcome you to campus and help you make UAFS your home!
Welcome Home!
The Office of Housing and Residential Life at the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith
is committed to fun and engaging environments in the residence halls and student apartments.
We know that the residence hall is a student’s home away from home. We strive to provide
residents with valuable support and resources as well as activities and programs that
serve to develop a sense of community and provide opportunities for learning. Our
hope is to create inclusive communities and support each student’s college experience.
UAFS has two living options on campus. For all students, especially our first-year
students, the silver LEED-certified Lion’s Den Residence Hall has more than 450 beds in suites for residents to call their own. The Lion’s Den is
located on the southeast corner of the campus near the intramural field and Stubblefield
Center.
For our upper-class, non-traditional, and married students, Sebastian Commons Apartments
has more than 450 beds in full-size apartments. Sebastian Commons is located on the
west edge of the campus near the Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center and the Math-Science
Building.
All Residential Life staff members have been carefully selected and trained to work
with students to create and support living environments that are conducive to academic,
personal, and social endeavors. Residents have opportunities to learn how to be good
neighbors and to learn about themselves. They will learn about the differences in
people, ideas, cultures, and opinions and develop friendships that will last a lifetime.
Housing and Residential Life Mission Statement:
The Office of Housing and Residential Life at UAFS is committed to providing safe,
well-maintained, quality on-campus residential opportunities. The department promotes
a spirit of community, develops programs that support student retention and success,
and extends student learning beyond the classroom.
