New Student Information:

• Starting for FALL 2012- East Carolina University Freshmen (defined as students who have completed fewer than 30 hours of college credit – excluding AP, dual enrollment, or early college hours) are required to live in college housing for at least two semesters. Exempted from this policy are students who have reached their twenty-first birthday prior to the first day of classes; veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces; married students; students with dependent children (living with them); or students who commute to school daily from the permanent, legal residence of their parents (within a 35 mile radius of campus ). 
• How does a student get an exemption approved? Students who meet one of the exception criteria will be required to fill out the form which may be downloaded here.
  
• Can a student who meets one of the exception criteria still live on campus?  Yes!
• Why is the University making this change? ECU is creating this policy based on a desire to further improve student retention.  Data shows that students living on campus generally return to school the next year at a higher rate with a higher GPA than those living off campus their first year.
