Department of Residential Life

Off-Campus Housing

Only those students who meet one of the below criteria may reside off-campus:

22 years of age by the end of the current calendar year

Completed six semesters in Curtis Hall

Systems major in the program's fifth year

Non-Traditional student (24 years of age, married, or veteran with at least 2 years of military service and an honorable discharge)

Full-time Graduate Student

If you do not meet any of the above criteria, but feel you have a significant reason to reside off-campus, you may appeal to the Residential Housing Appeals Board, which meets once a semester.

Every year that a student lives off-campus, an Off-Campus Living Request/Registration Form must be filed with the Director of Residential Life. This form can be downloaded above.

All potential off-campus students must also attend an Off-Campus Living Information Meeting.
