Freshman and Sophomores attending
Duquesne University of the Holy Spirit are required
to live on campus or with their parents or guardians.
National Studies demonstrate that campus residence
positively affects:
- Academic Persistence
- Satisfaction with faculty
- Willingness to re-enroll
Those who have not yet achieved
Junior status or who have not yet completed the
equivalent of four full semesters of academic
work are required to reside in University housing.
Exceptions to this policy may
be granted to students under certain conditions.
They are:
- Completion of four semesters of full-time
academic work;
- Residing with parents or legal guardian;
- Enrollment as a part-time student;
- Students who are married;
- Students with one or more dependant children
in their custody;
- Students who are military veterans who completed
at least two years of full-time, active military
service;
- Students over the age of 21;
- Students with physical or psychological circumstances
such that the University cannot provide appropriate
housing.
Note:
The University Campus Residency Policy makes no
provision for financial need as a reason for an
exemption. Thus, waiver requests based upon this
premise will not be approved. Students needing
financial assistance are advised to discuss their
situation with the Financial Aid Office.
Compliance:
This requirement is a University policy. As such,
compliance is a condition of a student's enrollment
to Duquesne University. Students who are included
in the Campus Residency Policy must do one of
the following:
- Complete a University housing agreement.
- Be accepted to live in a University approved
residence.
- Complete and have approved by the Director
of Residence Life, a Campus Residency Waiver
Request.
For the fall
semester: One of these three options must
be completed by June 1. Students accepted after
June 1 must complete one of these options within
two weeks of being accepted to Duquesne University. |
