Off Campus Housing
All students are required to live on campus unless they apply and receive permission from Student Affairs. This must be renewed annually. Exemptions are available for students who are married and/or have dependents, live with their parents/guardians in McPherson County, or are 23 years of age at the start o the year. Students with these exemptions must submit an off campus housing application. On occasion, students may be released from housing. Students may apply for off-campus housing only if:
- 21 or Junior Status in 22-23
- 3.0 GPA or higher
- Proof of reliable transportation
- Good academic standing
- Good conduct record
Applying for off-campus housing does not mean the request is approved. Students will be approved to live off campus in order of academic seniority and GPA. Do not sign a lease before receiving approval to live off campus. Students who claim to live with parents/guardians and are found to have falsified this information will be charged housing. Once approved, a copy of a lease must be supplied to Student Affairs. Students currently off campus must apply and receive approval to continue living off campus.
