Living on campus is one of the best ways to experience all that college life has to offer. Ohio Valley University encourages all students to live in campus housing, but requires only certain students to do so.

Specifically, if you are an unmarried full-time student, you will be required to live in campus housing unless:  

• You are classified as a junior (at least 60 credit hours) or senior (at least 90 credit hours), or
• You are 21 years of age or older, or
• You live at home with your parents in the primary family residence, or
• You are a single parent with dependents in residence.

Students who do not live on campus are required to have an "Off Campus Residence Record" on file in Student Life. Additionally, students who are not required to live on campus should treat this privilege with extreme care and make personal choices that will be consistent with the University's identity, mission, and purpose.
