Residential living is an integral part of the mission of 糖心vlog视频 College and the student experience; all unmarried, full-time undergraduate students are required to reside in campus housing six consecutive full semesters (excluding summers) and participate in one of the college meal plans. Exchange students must live on campus and participate in one of the college meal plans for the duration of their enrollment. Transfer students must live in college housing until they have satisfied the residency requirement; residency at previous enrolled institutions counts toward fulfilling this requirement.
Residency requirement exemptions may be made for students who meet any of the following criteria and provide supporting documentation:
- Students who are married.
- Students who are legal guardians of minors who reside with them permanently.
- Students who are at least 24 years old.
- Students with a documented medical disability that cannot be accommodated in on-campus living.
- In some years, a limited number of junior-level students may be released from residency requirements to live off-campus based on projected space availability. The availability of this option varies from year to year, depending on enrollment numbers and housing availability. The Office of Residence Life will notify students if this option is available. Exemptions granted, if any, will be made at the sole discretion of the Office of Residence Life.
Students who reside off-campus without meeting one or more criteria and do not get appropriate approval will be held responsible for all room and board costs for all semesters they are enrolled and residing off-campus without such approval.
By accepting a room assignment, a student is contractually obligated to occupy that room for the entire academic year unless the student , is approved for a , is approved for a , graduates, or participates in a study abroad program. Vacant spaces are subject to assignment by the Office of the Residence Life.
Financial hardship: If a student or their family/caretakers face financial hardship or experiences a significant life change that has impacted income and may be challenging to pay for housing, please contact Financial Aid for assistance.
