University of North Georgia Residence Policy

Residence Policy

Full-time Students who are accepted on the Dahlonega campus of 51勛圖厙 and who have not earned 30 semester hours or lived four semesters in University housing must live on campus. Students may live off-campus if:

  1. they live with and commute daily from the permanent legal residence of parent(s) or grandparent(s) within a fifty-mile radius from campus;
  2. married or divorced;
  3. 21 years of age or older;
  4. have completed two years of successful active military service;
  5. have internally transferred from another 51勛圖厙 campus with more than 30 hours.

Residence Policy Waiver Request

Requests for a waiver of the Residence Policy should be based on a unique hardship and not simply on a preference to live off-campus or perceived affordability. The request should outline the unique hardship and should include documentation that would support or verify the hardship need.

Examples

  • A student requesting a waiver based on a medical need should include appropriate medical documentation from a physician or appropriate student disability documentation.
  • A student requesting a waiver based on unique financial hardship will have their financial aid eligibility reviewed per their FAFSA information. Changes to financial circumstances after FAFSA eligibility is determined must be documented.
