On-Campus Housing Policy

All entering unmarried freshmen students under 21 years of age and whose primary domicile is beyond a 60-mile radius of the university are required to live on campus for four (4) consecutive semesters. Entering freshmen will be placed in Dawson Hall as their domicile preference for the Academic Year. If a space is unavailable in Dawson Hall, the entering freshman will be placed in a designated freshman/first-year student overflow.

International students under the age of 21 are required to reside in campus housing for four (4) consecutive semesters.

Transfer students under the age of 21 and whose primary domicile is beyond a 60-mile radius of the university are required to reside in the campus residence halls for the remainder of four (4) consecutive semesters, e.g., students who lived on campus at another institution for one (1) semester are required to live in the campus residence halls for three (3) semesters. 

Room and board are mutually inclusive components of this contract and all students living on campus must have a meal plan. ALL students who meet the on-campus housing criteria will be billed for the room and board charges, this means even if you decide to forego living on campus, you will still be billed for a meal plan and room charges.

Married students, students with young children, and Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces are exempt from living on campus.
