  • The residence hall and apartment communities are set up programmatically for traditional-age students. RLH considers both age and units when making housing placements. The experiences in the halls and apartments will prepare students to lead extraordinary lives by integrating learning and spiritual growth.

    Residence Life and Housing contributes to students’ transformative education by offering holistic programs, services and environments fostering student involvement, responsibility and leadership. Jessup University does not offer housing in the residence halls or apartments to married students or students with families. All residential living areas are based on availability.

    Priority will be given to traditional undergraduate students 23 years old or less who fall under the residency requirement and are undergraduate students.

    Students outside of this age range may request special approval from the Director of Residence Life and Housing, if approved, be housed based on availability.

    Returning residential students who exceed the age minimum who are currently housed on-campus may continue to apply for housing each year and their applications will be reconsidered pending availability.

The resident will be allowed to host a guest of the same gender in their room at no cost for up to three nights per guest, per semester; afterwards the resident will be subject to a $12 per night fee for each guest. Residents are responsible for communications with their roommate before guests arrive. Guest fees will be added to the student account if applicable.
