Administrative Policies

All unmarried full-time freshmen students who enter with less than 21 semester hours credit are required to live in a residence hall for two semesters. (However, freshmen are not required to live in any particular residence hall.) UCA feels that the residence experience adds to the students' overall academic and personal development and, therefore, is an essential and vital part of the total college experience. There will be numerous programs for the new students in the halls, coordinated through the central Housing Office, which will encompass the academic, social, and recreational areas of development.

Students living with parents, legal guardians, or close relatives are exempt from this policy. Living with a close relative is defined as any place of abode owned, rented, or leased and occupied by a grandparent, married brother or sister, aunt, or uncle.

Also, any individual who is over 21 years of age at the beginning of his/her first semester at UCA, or a transfer student who has lived in a residence hall at another campus for two or more semesters, will be exempt from this requirement.
