Residency Requirements

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

Therefore, as a condition of attending LeTourneau University, non-married undergraduate students are required to live on-campus in college-owned residence halls, apartments, or houses. A few exemptions exist for this policy. If one-or-more of the following circumstances exist and the Petition to Live Off-Campus has been submitted and approved, a student is considered exempt from residency while those conditions are met. For more information on exemptions and exceptions.

• Local Residency: students physically residing with parent(s) or legal guardian(s) within 40 miles of campus
• Age: students 22 years of age or older by the first day of classes each semester
• Family Status: students who are currently married or are a custodial parent
• Super Senior Status: students who have already completed a four-year degree from a college or university or have attended LeTourneau University for 8 semesters
• Minimal Hours: students enrolled in six (6) or fewer credit hours
• Military Service: students who have served at least two years of continuous active military duty (please provide a copy of your DD-14 or discharge paperwork)
• Senior Option: students who have earned at least 90 credit hours and have achieved at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA by the first day of class with no academic or disciplinary probations for the previous three semesters.
  

Students Who May Seek Permission to Live on Campus

• Students enrolled in six or fewer credit hours desiring to live in campus housing need special permission from the Associate Dean for Residence Life. You may email BenGoller@letu.edu for more information.
• Students Under Age 18
• Students who enroll in LeTourneau University under the age of 18 and will not be turning 18 within 6 months of moving on to campus for classes will need special permission from the Associate Dean for Residence Life (ADRL) to live on campus. Such students will need to interview with the ADRL who will determine their viability for living in campus housing. LeTourneau University reserves the right to refuse on campus housing to minor students who are determined to be unprepared for university residence.
• Students who enroll in LeTourneau University at the age of 17 and who will be turning 18 within 6 months of their orientation will not need to meet for special permission.
• All students while under the age of 18 are considered minors and will need to follow a few extra guidelines.
• For students who qualify as minors, their parent(s) or guardian(s) will be required to sign other documents along with their student, including but not limited to: housing contracts, medical release forms, and mental health treatments forms.
