Residency Requirement and Eligibility
Residency Requirement
- Students under 21 years old as of the first day of Fall classes are required to live in university housing for the entire academic year unless commuting from their parents’/legal guardians’ home. This is called the 51ÂÜÀò Residence Requirement.
- Students who contract for housing and who turn 21 after the first day of Fall classes are required to fulfill their Housing Contract for the entire academic year.
- If at any time the Housing & Residence Life Office learns that a student who falls under the Residence Requirement is not living (a) at their parents’/legal guardians’ home or (b) in university housing, that student may be assigned to and billed for university housing.
- Students who plan to commute from their parents’ home must complete an online Request to Commute application, available on Self Service.
- Only students officially assigned by the Housing & Residence Life Office to a room or apartment may reside in that room or apartment.
