Freshman Residency Policy

SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY FRESHMEN RESIDENCY PROGRAM INFORMATION

Southeastern Oklahoma State University believes that there are important educational and social benefits in the residence halls and on-campus housing program. Because of this conviction, Southeastern has developed a Freshmen Residency Program that requires all single, full-time (12 hours or more per semester), first time freshmen who are under the age of 20 and have earned fewer than 24 college credit hours to reside in university housing. College credit hours that have been earned while in high school do not count toward the 24 college credit hour limit.

Southeastern is committed to providing to students participating in the Freshmen Residency Program the following:

To offer a living experience that will enhance and compliment their collegiate experience
To provide the opportunity to develop the ability to live in community with people of different cultures, backgrounds and ideals
To provide the opportunity to develop lifelong friendships
To ensure that when one leaves Southeastern. That they will take with them memories that they will cherish for a lifetime

Exceptions may be granted by the Office of Housing and Residence Life provided that the application for release of the residency requirement be made in lieu of signing a contract. To be considered for an exemption from this policy, a student must submit a Freshmen Residency Requirement Request for Exemption Form. If released, the student will receive a letter indicating that he/she has been released from the requirement. The student is not considered released from the requirement unless and until they have received written notification Students requesting a release from the residency requirement must apply for the release prior to June 1 for the Fall Semester and November 1 for the Spring Semester. Requests received after June 1 will be reviewed on a time permitting schedule. Students who are 20 or over or have completed 24 college credit hours do not need to file for a release.
