Request to Remain on Campus as a Part Time Student

(NOTE: This policy is not in effect for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 academic  years.)

Current students must be enrolled in classes full time to be eligible to live in on-campus housing. If you currently live in on-campus housing and need to adjust your courses to be enrolled in less than 12 credits, you will also need to request to remain on campus as a part time student. To do so, you must complete a request form to be reviewed for approval by the Residence Life Office. You can complete this request form by going to your self-service account and clicking on “Applications and Forms” and then completing the “Part Time Request” form listed there.
