Application for Exemption

Freshman Residency Requirement

Students who have fewer than 30 semester hours are required to live on campus for two consecutive semesters – Fall and Spring or Spring and Full Summer (Summer First Term and Summer Second Term) – unless they are approved for exemption from the freshman residency requirement.

Student housing exemptions are approved for the following:

• Students who are 21 years of age or older (age will be verified via admissions data)
• Students who live with parents or legal guardians within a radius of 60 miles and commute to campus (address will be verified via admissions data)
• Students who have graduated from high school at least one year prior to enrollment at the university and have lived in a college or university campus residential community for at least two semesters (proof required: letter from college or university)
• Married students (proof required: marriage license)
• Students with children (proof required: child’s birth certificate).

If you qualify for an exemption based on the criteria listed above, then you may complete the Application for Exemption.

Unmarried freshmen (except students living with parents or guardians) who enroll and are found to be living off campus without an authorized exemption from the Housing Appeals Committee will be administratively charged for housing.

If the student will still be classified as a freshman after completing the stated requirement, then student housing must be notified no later than July 15 to ensure that a housing exemption is placed on the student’s account for the following fall. This allows the student to avoid charges from student housing.
