Freshman Scholarship Residency Policy

Freshman Scholarship Residency Requirement

First-time freshmen awarded an academic scholarship are required to live on campus their first year of enrollment (fall and spring semesters). This requirement may be waived for students who plan to live in the legal residence of their parent(s) or guardian(s).

Students who wish to be considered for a waiver on the basis of (1) plans to live in the legal residence of their parent(s) or guardian(s) or (2) compelling individual circumstances, must submit a Housing Waiver Request form no later than May 1, 2011.

Freshman residency exemptions are not granted automatically. Each is considered on an individual basis.
