International & Transfer Students

The Nine at West Campus offers fully furnished apartments in a variety of layout options, making UT Austin housing simple and stress-free. Students can skip the hassle and expense of buying and moving furniture—each bedroom comes with a full-size bed, end table, spacious desk and chair, dresser, and, in select units, a private bathroom. The living area features a designer couch, chair, end table, coffee table, media shelf, and a 50” flat-screen TV. In the kitchen, you’ll find everything you need, including bar stools, granite countertops, energy-efficient appliances, a full-size refrigerator with icemaker, garbage disposal, dishwasher, and an in-unit washer and dryer.

We suggest bringing personal items like clothing, bedding, toiletries, cookware, dishes, silverware, and any decorations to make your space feel like home. All major furniture and appliances will already be in your apartment when you arrive, making move-in easier! Don’t forget to bring a valid photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, so you can check in and pick up your keys on move-in day.

Because we lease on a first-come, first-served basis and our availability is limited, we can offer a Non-Enrollment Addendum. This means you can secure your spot at our current rates, and if you don’t get into UT Austin, all you need to do is send us proof that you weren’t accepted, and you can get out of your lease! For more information on this option, please contact our leasing office.

We offer several options to apply and sign up to live at The Nine at West Campus! Students can apply with a guarantor as long as they are at least 25 years old, have a U.S. Social Security Number, and pass a credit and income check. Students applying with a guarantor are required to pay a Security Deposit. If you do not have a qualifying guarantor, there are 3 other ways to qualify!

1. Self-Qualify: If you have a U.S. Social Security Number, make 3x your monthly base rent, and can pass a credit check, you may opt to Self-Qualify. All Self-Qualifying Applicants must provide proof of their income via 3 consecutive pay stubs and are required to pay a Security Deposit equal to 2 installments of the base rent.
2. Guarantor Waiver Program (GWP): If you are a full-time student and do not have a qualifying guarantor, you may opt to use our GWP. You will need to send proof of Full-Time Enrollment and sign a Guarantor Waiver Program Addendum. GWP Applicants are required to pay an additional monthly fee and pay a Security Deposit.
3. International (I20): If you are an International Student who does not have a qualifying guarantor, you may apply with your I20. International Applicants are required to pay a Security Deposit equal to 2 installments of base rent and send proof of their I20.

Note that all Security Deposits are refundable, pending your move-out inspection and any damages to your apartment.

Located just minutes from the UT Austin, our off-campus student housing community offers easy access to campus. Whether you walk, bike, drive, or take the bus, The Nine at West Campus makes getting to class convenient for every student.

When you apply, there is an option to list your preferred roommates. Once approved, to confirm you will be living with your preferred roommates, each individual resident will register for RoomSync, our Roommate Matching Program. From there, you can “sync up” on the app, which is what notifies our office that you want to live together.

We lease individually, by the bed, so you can sign your individual housing contract and lock in your spot as soon as you’re ready. However, we cannot hold spots for preferred roommates or anyone since we lease first-come-first-served. To help ensure you and any friends can live together, we recommend signing at the same time if possible.

We offer fully virtual leasing for your convenience, so you are not required to come in person! To get started, you’ll first hit the “apply now” button on our website! From there, you’ll fill our all seven steps of your non-binding application, submit (and pay any fees if applicable), and once your lease is generated, to officially secure your spot, you will initial and sign all documents. Depending on your application type/how you’re qualifying, there may be additional steps required prior to screening and lease approval. Please contact our office with any questions to ensure your account gets screened and approved asap.

At The Nine at West Campus, we are excited to offer the newest, most upgraded, and best possible experience to our residents in our community. For more information on our current specials, contact us today!
