Residency Requirement Policy - Students entering as Freshmen
The University of Evansville guarantees residential housing for students during their first three years.
Students entering as freshmen (includes transfer freshmen entering UE after one semester at another institution) must reside in either University Housing or University Approved Housing for a minimum of three academic years or the equivalent of six fall/spring semesters.
Note - Credit hours from bridge, early college, dual credit, or advanced placement do not qualify for calculating the number of semesters required.
Entering freshmen may request an exemption if they meet one of the following criteria:
- Student's local residence is with a parent or legal guardians and is located within a 35-mile radius from UE.
- Student has attained the age of 22 prior to the start of the semester.
- Student is married and/or must live with a dependent.
The Residency Exemption form must be submitted to Residence Life for review prior to the start of the term.
Students who have not met the residency requirement or who do not have an approved exemption will be billed the equivalent of the Moore Hall double-occupancy room rate and assigned and billed for the Aces 12 meal plan.
