Housing Requirements
Virginia Intermont College values on-campus living that exposes students to
a variety of meaningful out-of-class learning opportunities. Accordingly, oncampus
living is required of undergraduate students with certain exceptions,
and off-campus living is a privilege earned through progression toward degree
completion.
Requirements for living on campus:
• Single, full-time students, other than those living at home with parents
Benefits of living on campus:
• Proximity to campus resources can enhance academic performance
• Development of important life skills
• Learning outside of the classroom experience
• The collegiate experience
Residential Incentive:
Students who have completed one year of coursework at VI and who have
earned a cumulative 3.0 GPA or higher will be eligible for a 25% room discount
the following academic year. Each spring, students’ GPAs will be re-evaluated to
determine eligibility for the discount for each successive year, for a maximum of
three years.
Students may live off campus if:
• Students are 21 or older
• Students have completed 85 or more credit hours prior to fall semester
