HOUSING ELIGIBILITY
Full-time and part-time students enrolled in a master’s degree program are eligible
to live in student housing. Special Students and auditors are not eligible for student
housing. See the Housing Handbook for more information on housing eligibility.
HOUSING ASSIGNMENTS
Fall housing assignments ordinarily are made in the preceding May. Housing
priority is based on the date the student accepts the Seminary’s offer of admission
by submitting the Intent to Matriculate form provided with the acceptance letter.
The date this form is received in the Admissions Offi ce is the date used for housing
priority. For students who are readmitted to a degree program, the most recent date
of acceptance of admission is used. In addition, eligibility for particular types of
housing is based on the student’s family size. (Refer to the Housing Handbook for
more information.) Eligibility for housing does not guarantee availability of housing,
though every effort is made to secure campus housing for all students who request
to live on-campus. Housing application forms are sent out only after the Intent to
Matriculate form has been received by the Admissions offi ce. In order to secure the
housing assignment a student must return the Housing Acceptance form within 30
days. All lease and pet deposits must be paid in full at the time the lease is signed
and before occupying the housing unit.
Housing policies, the full text of which are found in the Housing Handbook, are
subject to change by action of the administration. The most current version is posted
on the Seminary’s Web site as part of the Student Handbook. The Web version of the
Housing Handbook, if different, supersedes the Catalogue. Updates to the Housing
Handbook, including policies, are announced as changes are made. These changes
will not affect the terms of an existing lease, unless specifi cally indicated.
