Hastings College Residency Requirement
The Hastings College residency requirement reflects a commitment to personal growth through on-campus residency and serves to uphold the overall mission of the college. All first-year, sophomore and junior students, including Hastings area students, are required to live on campus unless they meet one of the criteria below:
Reside with their parent or legal guardian in their primary residence within a 30 mile radius of Hastings, Nebraska for the entire academic year
Have lived on campus 3 academic years/6 semesters
Be a part-time student
Are married or a single, custodial parent
Will turn 22 within the academic year
Have their Associate’s degree after attending another institution, and will turn 21 within the school year
Request for a Special Exemption - Financial Issues (approval of this exemption will be evaluated by the Housing Committee)
*Bryan Students Only* Have 8 or less non-nursing credit hours to complete during my course of study
Those in violation of the off-campus residency policy or who falsify information to meet criteria are subject to being billed full room and board rate. If it is determined that a student, while under the 3 year residency requirement policy, is inhabiting an off-campus residence, while also maintaining an on-campus residence simply for appearances, and have confirmed a new off-campus address, they are subject to being removed from the housing system and being billed full room and board rates
