  • The Office of Residence Life provides on-campus living accommodations for undergraduate and some graduate students. Students must be registered and full time (exceptions may be made by the Office of Residence Life for special circumstances).

  • On-campus housing is required for first-year and sophomore students. Assignments are made in the order in which the university receives the completed housing application and the required housing deposit. Students who submit a housing application and pay a housing deposit early have the greatest likelihood of receiving an on-campus assignment.

  • If a student withdraws from the university, they must vacate the residence hall or apartment no later than 24 hours after withdrawal.

  • Any resident whose contract is terminated for disciplinary, financial, health, or safety reasons from one residence hall or apartment will not be allowed to reside in another residence hall or apartment during his or her suspension period.

  • Residents are required to pay for any damages, lost property, or unnecessary service costs incurred through accident, neglect, or intent.

  • The residence halls close during designated breaks and students are required to vacate during those times. Exceptions are made only for students with academic or sports team commitments and students whose residence is more than 1,000 miles from the university.

  • All residential students are required to carry a meal plan. First-year residents are required to be on one of the Tier 1 plans for their first year. Sophomores have the ability to choose between any Tier 1 or Tier 2 plans; juniors and seniors have the ability to choose any of the residential meal plans offered.
