UNIVERSITY HOUSING University Housing is committed to providing a quality living and learning environment that both challenges and supports the personal, social, and academic development of our residents and their diverse communities. National research has shown that academic success in the first year and beyond is directly linked to residing in an on-campus residence environment. The University of Arkansas recognizes the benefits that students receive from living on campus their first year. Therefore, all single students who are admitted to the University with a freshmen classification and under 21 years of age are required to live on campus in a residence hall, or in their parent or legal guardian’s permanent home. Students who are admitted to the University of Arkansas as transfer students from another post-secondary institution, and who have completed at least 24 credit hours at that institution are not required to live on campus. Requests for a newly admitted freshmen to live somewhere other than with parents or a legal guardian in their permanent home are not likely to be approved under most circumstances. Students planning to live with their parents or legal guardian, in their permanent home should complete the Living with Parent Verification Form prior to attending an orientation session. Students requesting an exemption from the University of Arkansas Freshmen Residency Requirement should send all required paperwork to University Housing at least three weeks prior to attending an orientation session to ensure the student receives approval or denial prior to attending orientation. Failure to do so could cause long delays in the orientation process. Students needing a Living with Parent Verification Form or who wish to apply for an exemption to the University’s requirement for single freshmen to live on campus may refer to the information on the Housing Web site: http://housing.uark.edu/. Residence Halls have a full-time Resident Director who has completed a master degree program in higher education, counseling or a related degree or a Graduate Resident Director who is supervised by a full-time Resident Director. This individual is selected for his or her academic credentials and interest in helping others, as well as his or her ability to work well with college students. In addition, every area or floor is staffed by a Resident Assistant who is an upperclassman with training, experience, and knowledge to answer students’ questions and, more importantly, to help students find their own answers.
