Campus Residency Requirement

As a residential institution, Salve Regina University places great value on the contributions a quality residential experience can make to student development. Experience has shown that campus residency in the first two years of a student's college career is crucial to personal growth and the refinement of social skills. As a result, all freshmen and sophomores who are not commuting to campus from their parents' home are guaranteed housing and are required to live on-campus.

Room Reservation and Occupancy

All rising juniors and seniors interested in housing must place a housing deposit by the appropriate date prior to the year of desired residency requirement. This deposit is non-refundable and obligates the student to a full academic year of housing. Upon the receipt of a room or apartment in the Room Draw, the student must sign a Student Housing Contract and agree to abide by all regulations found therein. All students must vacate their rooms or apartments in December and May, no later than 24 hours after their last exam or at hall closing time whichever comes first. During the final closing at the end of the spring semester, all students must follow the check-out process established by their hall staff or face an administrative fee. Special accommodations are made for graduating seniors.

Withdrawals and Refunds

A student who assumes campus residence in September is accountable for a full academic year of housing unless that student withdraws from the university or commutes from a parent or guardian's primary residence. A dependent student who wishes to change from resident to commuter status must submit for approval a notarized letter from a parent or guardian confirming the change to the office of residential life. Resident students withdrawing from the university must report to the office of residential life and other campus offices to facilitate this process. Any refunds, if due, are processed through the business office. Upon withdrawal, students must return keys to the residential life staff and complete a check-out inventory form. Students who withdraw either voluntarily or involuntarily from university residence prior to the end of the contract period are not eligible for a refund of the room deposit or damage deposit. If residential life staff find that a student's behavior does not meet university standards, the student may be required to withdraw from university housing. Immediate or twenty-four hour vacancy may be required if a student is considered to be a danger to the campus community or to him/herself, or if a student is a disruptive factor to the residence community.

Note: Students removed for violations of university policy are not eligible for a room and board refund.

Room Assignments

The assignment process, including roommate selection and room changes, is made under the supervision of the office of residential life. All room changes require formal documentation, available in the office of residential life. Room changes made without formal documentation are considered policy violations, which may result in disciplinary action. The Room Draw for the next academic year is conducted during the spring semester.

Campus Apartments

The on-campus apartment program provides less supervision and staff services and is a privilege specifically designed for eligible students. Only students who have not been documented for university violations past Sanction Level One may apply for an on-campus apartment.
