Residency Requirement
All full-time students are required to reside in college approved housing and to participate in a college meal plan. Exemptions from the policy are granted for students who meet any of the following criteria: 23 years of age, completed 88 semester hours of credit, married, single parent, living with parent(s) or legal guardian(s), or special situations approved by the vice president of student life.

Students seeking exemption from the policy must complete a Room and Board Exemption Form available in the Housing Office. Completed forms must be submitted to the Housing Office before the last day of drop and add. Petitions will be evaluated by the coordinator for residence life. If an exemption request is denied, an appeal may be made to the vice president of student life.

Residence Life Staff
Each of the three residence halls is staffed with a Hall Director (HD) who lives in the building and oversees a staff of 5-8 Resident Advisors (RAs). The HD is a full-time professional who serves as the educational leader for the building. The RA is an upperclass student who is trained as a peer counselor and advisor responsible for developing a strong community on his/her wing or floor.
