Housing Information for New Students
Housing requirements are determined by the Center for Student Development. An online Residency Information Application (for on-campus housing and off-campus commuter students) is required once a person has been admitted and paid his or her $200 enrollment deposit. Residence hall and roommate assignments are based on the date the enrollment deposit is paid.
All non-married students under the age of 23 at the time of registration who are enrolled for six or more hours per semester and do not live at home are required to live in University residence halls and participate in the full meal plan. Any exceptions are granted by special permission by the Vice President and Dean of Student Development and the Student Life Council. The Associate Dean of Student Development for Residential Life exercises general supervision over all of the residence halls. In addition, there are resident directors and resident assistants in each residence hall. Residence hall councils are organized to assist in providing a pleasant atmosphere in the residence halls. Residence hall policies are stated in the Student Handbook.
A housing interview is required for students 23 years of age or older who wish to live in a residence hall. Those who wish to live off campus must receive permission from the Center for Student Development.
