Any freshman or sophomore who has not reached the age of 21 and who lives outside the 60 mile commuting distance from Marshall University is required to live on campus. Limited exemptions are granted for specific reasons through application to the Director of Residence Services. For more information or to obtain a Housing application contact the Department of Residence Services .
All students can indicate a preferred residence hall and room type.
Every effort is made to meet these preferences. Moves are made automatically from these lists until August 1 and from the building transfer single room waiting list. Returning students who enter the single room lottery will be left on the list during the academic year until their preference is met. If they are not mailed together, requests will be noted and efforts will be made to honor them. Factors such as class rank are sometimes taken into consideration.
