̨Íåswag

The Residence Policy applies to students who:

• Have been accepted to the Dahlonega Campus
• Are full-time students (enrolled in at least 12 credit hours)
• Have earned less than 30 credit hours
• Have lived less than two semesters on campus

The Residence Policy does NOT apply to students who:

• Live and/or commute from a permanent legal residence of parent(s) or grandparent(s) within a fifty-mile radius from campus
• Are married or divorced
• Are 21 years of age or older
• Have completed two or more years of successful active military service
• Have internally transferred from another ̨Íåswag campus with 30 or more earned credit hours
• Have applied for housing after residence halls have reached capacity for the associated term

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.
