Cottey is a residential college, and living in college residence life is an integral part of the educational experience. Full-time students, defined as those enrolled for at least 12 credit hours per semester, are expected to live in College residence life. Exceptions to this policy require written approval from the director of campus and residence life or the vice president for student life and enrollment. This Agreement is contingent upon proper acceptance and the availability of space within Cottey College residence halls.
To be eligible for residence life, students must be enrolled full-time (minimum of 12 credit hours per semester) unless they receive written permission from the vice president for student life and enrollment. Students wishing to live off-campus must submit a Residency Requirement Exemption Request Form and supporting documentation to the director of campus and residence life, who will review the request with the vice president. To receive the form and additional information regarding an exemption request, email the director of campus and residence life at mvincent@cottey.edu.
