  • Students under 21 years old and single are required to live on campus or with a parent off campus.
  • Students are allowed to live on campus during holidays, school breaks and throughout the summer. If students are not going to remain on campus during the summer, they are required to give both the Housing office and Student Development office a 30-day written notice that they will be leaving.

  • Move-In Day is the Saturday just before Welcome Week begins. Representatives from Student Development and Housing will be available to assist you between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
