Catamount East

Catamount East is a brand-new, UVM-managed apartment building reserved for UVM juniors, seniors, and transfer students. Just a short walk from the heart of UVM's campus, Catamount East balances the independence of off-campus life with the resources and support that come with living on-campus.

    • Like all off-campus housing leases, students are responsible for paying for the entirety of the lease regardless of when they plan to move in or be away.
  • Catamount East is billed monthly via the housing portal (StarRez) and not via your student account.
    • For financial aid purposes, Catamount East is considered off-campus housing. As a result, you cannot pay for Catamount East housing in your student account.
  • How Financial Aid Works When Living Off-Campus
    • Your financial aid offer is based on a total cost of attendance for living off-campus (as detailed on this page). If the financial aid accepted is more than the amount owed to UVM on your student account, this will result in a credit balance which will be refunded to you. Your refund will be in one payment, so it is important you budget this amount over the semester and breaks.  
    • Please contact SFS at sfs@uvm.edu to understand more about your specific financial aid situation and budgeting for Catamount East.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT OUR OFFICE AT UNIVERSITYHOUSING@UVM.EDU OR (802) 656-3434.
