Residency Requirement:
A significant part of a student's education at Westminster College takes place in the living groups. Consequently, Westminster College requires all admitted degree-seeking students with Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior Academic standing at the beginning of the academic year to live in one of the college resident halls, fraternity houses, college-owned residential houses, or college apartments.
Any student who wishes to be granted an exception to this policy must submit a written request for that exception to the Office of Residential and Greek Life. If an exception is granted, the exception is granted for no longer than that academic year, therefore students must submit a request for an exception on an annual basis in those cases where the student wishes to renew the exception. Contact the Office of Residential and Greek Life for more information on how to request an exception. Research on Westminster students shows that it is especially important that new freshmen reside 0n-campus. For this reason, exceptions to the residency requirement will be very rare for new freshmen. Otherwise, exceptions to this policy may be requested by students who:
1. Are living at home with their parents
2. Are 21 years or older as the first day of classes of
the semester
3. Are married
All students residing in a college-approved residence hall must participate in a college meal plan.
