Housing Eligibility

Who is eligible for housing?

Full-time undergraduate students who have lived on-campus for under eight semesters are eligible for housing.  Students entering their ninth or greater semester may request housing, but will only be assigned if space is available after assigning students covered by the four-year housing guarantee.

Full-time degree-seeking graduate students are eligible for housing on Central Campus or Swift Avenue.

Part-Time Student Status

The University expects that all on-campus residents will be full-time students. Part-time students are not eligible for University housing.  Students who expect to be part-time and who wish to live on-campus may submit a request for an exception to this policy.

Housing Cancellations

The forfeiture of housing eligibility occurs when a student becomes a part-time student, is withdrawn from the University, or is academically dismissed.  RLHS will cancel housing assignments based on attrition information from the deans or program participation information from the Office of Study Abroad.  The student will become eligible for housing when they are readmitted as a full-time degree seeking student.

Room Picks: Students who are not yet confirmed to be returning for the Fall semester may participate in Room Picks for fall.  If you are not an active student by July, your housing assignment will be cancelled and all associated rent and fees will be credited to your Bursar account.

Spring Housing:  Students must be confirmed to be returning in order to request and receive a Spring housing assignment.
