Living in Chapel Glen: what to know before you pack
The room
Chapel Glen offers five configurations for first-year students: Triple, Double, Single, Double Private Bathroom, and Single Private Bathroom, priced from $7,096 to $10,694 for the 2026-2027 academic year. Every room includes a Twin XL bed, desk, chair, and three-drawer dresser. The U says most beds on campus can be lofted; if yours isn't self-loftable, submit a maintenance request or ask the front desk for a lofting kit (first-come, first-served), while triples come already lofted at no charge. The building's page doesn't publish an exact loft-clearance height, so pull the floor plan PDF for your building (Chapel Glen 802, 803-1, or 804) from the housing site before planning furniture around a raised bed.
Day to day
Chapel Glen is part of Heritage Commons, near Sage Point and Gateway Heights, and sits close to the medical and health areas of campus. Its floors are co-ed, and the page lists Gender Inclusive Rooms, Female Rooms, and Male Rooms as options. Amenities include a 24-hour fitness area in Chapel Glen 803 open to all community residents, free laundry in each building, full kitchens on the first floor of each building, indoor bicycle storage, high-speed internet, a nearby shuttle stop, and outdoor spaces with slack-lining poles. A dining plan is required for everyone who lives here, same as the other Heritage Commons halls.
Move-in day
Chapel Glen follows the university's general fall move-in window, August 18-21, 2026, with arrival times assigned by hall and floor; a pre-approved paid early-arrival window runs August 14-17. Housing-area parking lots close August 18-21, so move any car already on campus to the Rice-Eccles Stadium lot or the 305 Chipeta Way garage starting the evening of Monday, August 17. Confirm Chapel Glen's specific drop-off instructions rather than assuming they match Kahlert Village or Trailhead. If you and your roommate want a lofted bed, plan ahead — only triples come pre-lofted, and front-desk lofting kits are first-come, first-served.
