Housing Terms at IWU
HOUSING ELIGIBILITY
New or readmitted students enrolling in a traditional undergraduate academic program at Indiana Wesleyan University must be at least 16 years of age and under the age of 25 at the time of initial enrollment to qualify to live in University undergraduate housing. Returning students who are already living in or approved to live in University undergraduate housing at the time of their 25th birthday qualify to remain in University undergraduate housing until they graduate from IWU or separate from the University.
Students must maintain a course load of at least 9 onsite (not online) credit hours to remain eligible to live in University undergraduate housing. Students falling below 9 onsite credit hours during the semester must work with the Director of housing to file an exemption or make arrangements to move out of their assigned housing within 48 hours.
Limited Graduate Housing is available for students with a residential need to be on campus and is NOT guaranteed. This is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
HOUSING EXEMPTION
Undergraduate students 16-22 years of age are required to live in University undergraduate housing unless they are married, are the legal guardian of a minor, are taking less than 9 onsite (not online) credit hours, or living with a legal guardian within 60 miles of the Marion campus of Indiana Wesleyan University. Students who meet these criteria are eligible for exemption and may complete an Off-Campus Housing Application.
A Housing Exemption Appeal process is available for students and families who experience significant financial need that would otherwise jeopardize continued enrollment at IWU (based on family need, recent loss of employment, etc.) or have documented physical/mental health needs that cannot be met by living on campus.
