UP provides comfortable, accessible, and affordable accommodations for underprivileged students and students from far provinces through the Office of Student Housing Services.

1. The dormitory is more than mere provision for board and lodging of students. It is a unit which fulfills not only the functions of providing shelter to the students but also provides experience in liberal education through social interaction and group living.

2. The residents are expected to develop certain social values in community living, emphasizing both their rights and their responsibilities as members of society.

3. Apart from the social development of the residents, the dormitory program should contribute to the intellectual development of the students by providing educational opportunities to complement the academic curricula and in the process foster an atmosphere conducive to serious study, tolerance of opinions, open debate and inquiry.

4. Accommodation of residents in the dormitory is a Privilege only. It is granted to a university student based on HIS/HER VOLUNTARY DESIRE to avail of such privilege. The University, however, through its representative assigned in the dormitory, has the RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY APPLICANT WITH UNDESIRABLE RECORD OF CONDUCT.
