Residence Life and Housing
General Details

• All full-time students who enroll at Carroll are subject to a residency requirement until they have achieved senior standing (92 credits) by the beginning of the academic year (unless you are married or in a partnership legally recognized by a state, 23 years of age or older, are the primary care giver to a child or live within 50 miles of campus with parents or legal guardians during the academic year for which you are enrolled).
• Each year, full-time students who wish to live off-campus must apply for an exemption to be released from the residency requirement and must receive approval through the Office of Residence Life and Housing. If the exemption application is denied, the student will be subject to the requirement above.
• Students who have not been approved for release from the requirement and/or fail to submit a Housing and Meal Plan Agreement will be charged for a standard double room and 10 Meal Weekly plan until the terms of the residency requirement have been satisfied.

For more information on the residency policy, view the Student Housing License Agreement.

All campus housing is secure and requires a Pioneer Card for access. In addition, public safety patrols campus 24/7. Residence life staff are on duty in each area to provide support and ensure compliance with university policies. It’s easy to make new friends and become part of a community by joining in on the many social and recreational activities offered through on-campus living.

Each residence hall has a front desk that is staffed daily when campus housing is open. Front desk workers are available as a general reference for students that live within the residence halls. Residents of the building can check out items such as games, vacuums, DVD player, cooking equipment with their Pioneer Card. Residents who have received packages or items that are too large to fit into their mailbox will be able to pick their items up at the front desk.

You have more important things to think about than how you'll replace personal items lost or damaged on-campus, off-campus or while traveling, so Carroll University suggests that all students purchase renters insurance. GradGuard renters insurance features low deductible plans and can help you assure that your valuable items are protected. For more information, please visit the GradGuard website.
