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 of 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:
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.
Students Currently Off Campus
Students who have been approved to live off campus in the past MUST submit the 2022-2023 Housing & Off Campus Application. Previously living off campus does not guarantee permission to live off campus again.
To change your roommate, you MUST follow these steps.
1. Talk to your roommate. Address any concerns or issues that are creating issues for you both. Work to find a solution to problems. Give you and your roommate time to improve your living environment.
2. If there is no improvement in your living situation after you speak with your roommate, ask a Resident Assistant to complete a Roommate Contract. The link is above.
3. Only after the RA Roommate Contract meeting takes place, and there is still no improvement, will a room or roommate change be considered. The completed Roommate Contract must be uploaded to this request for the change to be considered.
4. If you know who you want to live with, each roommate should complete this form and have the desired roommate sign in the appropriate section.
