If you are a 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ freshman coming from a high school outside of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, or Pahrump; and you are taking six or more credits; the university requires that you live on campus in the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ residence halls.
This requirement applies to students who are in their first year after/post high school graduation. For example, if you graduated high school in 2024 and you attend 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ in fall 2024, you are required to live in the residence halls.
Exceptions
Limited exceptions are available for students that:
- Are married
- Graduated high school at least one year prior to entering 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and have been living independently or serving in the military
- Transfer to 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ after completing at least two semesters at another college or university (not freshman transfer WUE recipients)
- Are living with a parent or legal guardian within metropolitan Las Vegas
- Or have certified medical/disability limitations beyond accommodations made in collaboration with the Disability Resource Center
The Office of Housing & Residential Life is the sole authority for exceptions, which must be in writing following application for a waiver. Non-compliance with the on-campus housing requirement may be cause for denial or cancellation of class registration by 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.
