Vaccinations, including booster, are required for students to live in university housing. Students will not be permitted to move into university housing if they do not upload their COVID 19 vaccination card. Students living in housing must receive a booster, when eligible, and are strongly encouraged to take a COVID-19 test within 72 hours prior to their arrival. At-home COVID-19 tests may be accessed for free here or at local county sites. If you have questions about housing for Spring 2022, please email the Office of Housing & Residence Life.

A learning community is a self-selected group of students who share similar academic interests and explore them together in common courses and out of classroom activities. These communities are residentially based, which means that participating students live in the same residence hall and floor.
