How do I apply?
You can submit an application online by visiting www.catamountrun.com and selecting the Floor Plans & Apply page. Choose your preferred floor plan type, and click on ‘Apply Now’.

How long does approval take?
Once your application has been submitted, it is sent to UVM for review and approval. In some cases, additional information may be requested to determine your eligibility to live at the University of Vermont's Catamount Run Apartments.

How will I know if I’ve been approved?
Once your application has been reviewed, our leasing team will contact you (and your guarantor if applicable) regarding your approval status and any next steps needed to finalize your lease.

Is a security deposit required?
A security deposit equal to one month's rent is required to secure your apartment. The deposit must be paid within 14 days of lease signing. Failure to submit the security deposit by the deadline may result in the cancellation of your lease agreement.

What’s Individual Lease Liability?
Individual lease liability means each resident signs their own lease agreement and is responsible only for their portion of the rent, fees, and lease obligations. Unlike a traditional joint lease, you are not financially responsible for another resident's rent or lease violations.

Can I request specific roommates?
Yes! If you'd like to live with specific roommates, we recommend that everyone in your group submit their own individual application as early as possible. We'll do our best to accommodate roommate requests, but all applicants must be approved before housing assignments are finalized. Do not list your preferred roommates on your individual application. Instead, please email your preferred roommates to our leasing team at [email protected].

Am I responsible for my roommate’s rent?
If you’ve signed a by-bed lease with individual lease liability, each resident is only responsible for their own rent and lease obligations. You are not responsible for covering a roommate's rent if they fail to make a payment or have a change in their housing plans.

Can I apply without my roommates?
If you plan to sign a by-bed lease with individual lease liability, please submit your own individual application. Please email our team at [email protected] with your intended roommates on your application so we can work to place you together.

Do you offer roommate matching?
Yes! If you don't already have roommates in mind, our team can assist with roommate matching based on information provided during the application process.

What information do you use for roommate matching?
Matches are made based on information provided in your application, including your preferred apartment type, lease term, and gender preferences. While we cannot guarantee a perfect match, we do our best to pair residents with compatible living arrangements.

When will I find out who my roommates are?
Residents participating in roommate matching are typically notified of their roommate and apartment assignments 4-6 weeks before their lease start date. At that time, you'll receive a roommate introduction email that includes your assigned apartment, roommate information, and contact details so you can connect with one another and plan for move-in.

Can I live with someone who doesn’t go to UVM?
Graduate students, medical students, faculty, and staff may lease an apartment and have additional occupants who are not affiliated with UVM. The primary leaseholder must be affiliated with UVM and meet all eligibility requirements. Please note that all occupants on the lease will sign a joint and several lease agreement, meaning each resident shares responsibility for the full lease obligations, including rent and any applicable charges.

If you're applying with friends, each person should submit their own application, and indicate their preferred roommates by emailing our team at [email protected]. When applying, you should select the floor plan type and lease term that best matches your preferences. Because apartment availability changes throughout the leasing season, the exact apartment and bedroom types available to your group may vary and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. After your applications have been submitted and approved, our leasing team will work with your group to review the available options.

For example, a three-person group may find that a 3-bedroom apartment is available, but that the best available option includes one bedroom with a semi-private or private bathroom. Since these bedroom types may have different rental rates, your group should be prepared to discuss which roommate prefers each bedroom option.

Our team will explain the available apartment configurations, bedroom types, and pricing so your group can make an informed decision before housing assignments are finalized.

Helpful tip: Before applying, talk with your roommates about:

• Your preferred apartment size (2-bedroom or 3-bedroom)
• Who is interested in a private or semi-private bathroom
• Your individual budgets
• Alternative options if your first-choice floor plan is unavailable

This flexibility helps us place your group together while finding the apartment that best fits everyone's preference.

Are guarantors/co-signers required?
All UVM junior, senior, and transfer student applicants are required to have a guarantor. The guarantor should be added to the application in the Additional Occupants section.
