Housing Requirement

  1. As a condition of being admitted to The University of Findlay, every full-time undergraduate student who, prior to the start of an academic year, is under the age of 22 and has a class standing of either freshman (0-27 credit hours completed) or sophomore (27.01-57 credit hours completed) must reside in on-campus housing for the entire academic year. Class standing is determined strictly by number of credit hours successfully completed.
  2. A student classified as one of the following prior to the start of an academic year is not required to live on campus: junior (57.01-87 credit hours completed), senior (87.01 or more credit hours completed), graduate student, veteran, married student, part-time student, student age 22 or older, and student commuting from the full-time home of a parent, grandparent, or legal guardian (who live within the 50-mile commuting distance). If a student in this category chooses to live on campus, then he or she is subject to all terms stated in the Housing License Agreement (see section C below).
  3. Once a student is assigned to on-campus housing, the Housing License Agreement is in effect for the entire academic year and may only be terminated for the following reasons: the student withdraws from the University; or the student is required to live 30 or more miles away from Findlay in order to fulfill an academic program requirement (e.g., internship).
  4. Requests to reside off campus or terminate a Housing License Agreement must be initiated at the Office of Student Affairs. All such requests will be referred to the housing appeals committee for review. Upon review, the committee will render a decision. This decision shall be final and is not subject to appeal. All students will be charged for room and meals until given permission, in writing from the committee, to reside off campus.
