Student Life

The Office of Residence Life focuses on providing a living environment that enhances learning and personal development. Residence hall staff are educators who seek to create a community where students mature personally and academically.

For students, residence hall living offers opportunities for involvement in campus activities, personal growth, leadership development, life skills development, interaction with campus leaders, independence and fun.

Research shows that students who live on campus tend to do better academically, are more involved in campus activities, and remain in school at higher rates than commuter students. The residence hall experience is intended to complement the academic experience, help students become respected members of the campus community, and facilitate their overall growth and development.

Residency Requirement

Unmarried freshmen and sophomores under the age of 21 are required to live in one of the college residence halls unless they are living with an immediate family member or legal guardian in the local area. Freshmen and sophomores who wish to live off campus with a parent or legal guardian or for other reasons are required to petition the Office of Residence Life.

How to Apply for Housing

To apply for on-campus housing at Albertson College, a student must submit the Residence Hall Agreement and a tuition deposit. Priority is based on the date the agreement is received. Room assignments are made based on hall and room type preferences on a first-come first-served basis in accordance with availability.

Specific information about residence hall policies and procedures is outlined in the handbook. Students are responsible for knowing and complying with all residence hall policies and procedures.

The Residence Hall Agreement is for an academic year. The student may cancel this agreement before July 1 with a refund less the processing fee. After occupancy has begun, the student may be responsible for the entire cost of the housing agreement.
