  • Who is able to live in Returning Student Housing?

    The university policy on housing eligibility is available here. Generally, in order to live in on-campus housing, individuals must be degree-seeking students who have full-time status with the University. University standards for full-time status are outlined in the Academic Announcements publications, available at announcements.cua.edu. A student whose course load falls below full-time status should petition Housing Services for permission to remain a resident. Other exceptions may be granted on a space-available basis.

     

  • Is on-campus housing guaranteed?

Each year Housing Services reviews the demand for campus housing and initiates plans accordingly. Space is generally available for students who do not fall within the Student Housing Policy who follow application deadlines and are flexible in their housing choices. Housing Services also offers guidance to students seeking off-campus residence.
