While Harvard College is predominantly residential, some students do not live in College housing.
Married students are ordinarily nonresident.
Nonresident students are held to the same standards of conduct required of students living in the Houses and dormitories. Students in this categoruy may enter the Freshman Lottery for assignment to an upperclass residential House, provided they meet the Return to On-Campus Housing application deadline of March 1. They are otherwise affiliated with Dudley House in their second year. All students desiring to move out of the College dormitories and Houses must obtain a Request To Live Off Campus form from their House Office or the Undergraduate Housing Office. All freshmen admitted as resident students and remaining in residence until the time of the Freshman Lottery must enter the Freshman Lottery to receive a House assignment before requesting approval to live off campus.
