Campus Residency Policy

All students are required to live on campus and must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours, unless authorized by the Office of Student Life, except when meeting one or more of the following conditions:

23 years of age or older before August 1 of the academic year in question;
married and/or have children and/or other legal dependents living with you;
enrolled in less than 12 credit hours.

Failure to comply with this policy may result in possible administrative withdrawal from the college, requirement to pay full room and board, and/or loss of institutional aid. Because student’s financial award is based on information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the student (and student’s parent(s) if applicable), which may include living arrangements while attending William Jewell College, the College must have an adequate system to identify conflicting information and must resolve any conflicting information concerning student’s financial aid eligibility. If a student is suspected of misreporting information to increase student aid eligibility or to fraudulently obtain federal funds, the student will be reported to the U.S. Office of the Inspector General.

Please check to confirm that you have read and understand Jewell’s residency policy.

Meal Plans
Students may switch meal plans at any time if use of the current meal plan (number of meals and cardinal dollars) does not exceed the meal and cardinal dollar limits of the desired meal plan.

Please check to confirm that you have read and understand Jewell’s Meal Plan Policy.

Roommate & Residence Hall Placement
As part of the College student development philosophy, and College policy, all new first-year Jewell students are required to have a roommate. The College makes every effort to accommodate roommate and residence hall placement requests. Applications with reciprocating roommate requests seeking placement in the same residence hall are more likely to be accommodated. Roommate assignments and building placement are at the College’s discretion.

Please check to confirm that you have read and understand Jewell’s residency policy.
