Campus Housing Policies

Campus housing exists to advance the educational mission of the College. The staff seeks to provide a well maintained and well managed living and learning environment.

Residence Requirements:
All students are required to live on campus unless they:

1. are 21 years of age or older,
2. have earned at least 30 semester credit hours,
3. are married, or
4. are living with parents

Private rooms are assigned on a space-available basis. Fees will be adjusted if a student requests a private room, but is assigned a double room.

Eligibility to remain in Campus Housing: Campus housing is primarily an extension of the College's educational function, and students must make acceptable progress toward degree completion each term. Failure to satisfactorily complete the specified number of semester hours each term will render the resident ineligible for campus housing the following term of enrollment. Exceptions must be approved by the Vice President for Student Affairs.

Housing Exemption Procedure: Requests for exceptions to this residency requirement must be presented in writing to the Vice President for Student Affairs. Any student found in violation of this policy must pay housing costs for the semester in which they are found to be in violation.

Off-Campus Housing: Students living off campus arrange for their own housing. The College assumes no responsibility for off-campus housing. Students and their parents must determine whether off-campus housing is suitable. It is the student's responsibility to notify the Office of the Director of Admissions, Record, and Research of the correct off-campus address at registration. Subsequent changes of address must be reported.

Other Housing Policies are contained in the Residence Hall Handbook and posted in conspicuous places in the residence halls.
