Apply for an Exception

Freshman Residency Requirement exceptions may be submitted for review and each request is reviewed on an individual basis. Exception request applications are found on a student’s Residence Dashboard and require additional verification documentation. Decisions and related charges for not meeting the Freshman Residency Requirement are not appealable. 

"Students who live on campus have greater academic success and complete their degrees at a quicker rate than students who live off campus.”
