Off-Campus Housing

Interested in living off campus?
You've come to the right place!

In order to be eligible to live off campus you must meet one of the following criteria:

1) You have at least 60 credit hour completed by the end of the Spring 2009 semester.

2) You are living at your permanent residence with your parent or legal guardian within 30 miles of campus.   

Things to consider:

1) Institutional Aid: If you are eligible to accept the Off-Campus Housing Opportunity the following information does not apply, you will NOT be subject to the off-campus institutional cap. Each institutional grant or scholarship has individual criteria for amounts awarded and some may have GPA requirements to stay eligible. We have an off-campus institutional cap of $6,500 and an on-campus cap of $11,000 effective for the 2009 - 2010 academic year. If you move off campus, your award will be revised accordingly. Please contact Financial Aid at (563)333.6314 to discuss how your award would be modified.

2) Your meal plan. Meal plans are optional for off-campus students.  For specific information about options available for commuting students please contact Sodexo Food Service at  (563)333.6360. 

3) Interested in moving back on campus? Contact Residence Life to submit a housing contract and $250 deposit.  Housing will be granted by availability and preference will be given according to the date contracts and deposits are received. 

4) Off-campus housing options. Complete listings are kept in the Residence Life office, open 8 a.m.- 4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.
