Apply for Housing

Students receiving academic scholarships from HCC must also reside in HCC Residential Life Buildings, regardless of class standing and/or years at HCC. First year students attending the main campus in Highland are expected to reside in campus housing unless they meet the criteria outlined in the Housing Exemptions section. Sophomores may choose to reside in campus housing.  

All students living on-campus are required to be enrolled as a full-time student. Full-time status is any student enrolled in a minimum of twelve (12) hours of course work in a semester. If a student living on campus falls below the 12-hour minimum at any time during a semester, they may be dismissed from student housing.  

A student who is ineligible for student housing due to academic ineligibility (e.g., insufficient enrolled credit hours or violations of SAP, Satisfactory Academic Progress policy) may re-apply for housing once they have achieved satisfactory academic standing/enrolment. However, that student is not guaranteed the same housing assignment they had prior to the removal. 

HOUSING REQUIREMENTS & EXEMPTIONS CRITERIA

• If a student resides with a parent/guardian (i.e., those who claim the student as a dependent for tax purposes), if the parents reside in Atchison, Brown, or Doniphan counties. 
• If the student has dependents/children.
• If the student is married.
• If the student is over the age of 21.
• If the student has received a written exemption from the Dean of Students.
