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.
