All TWU full-time single undergraduates who have not completed 60 credit hours are required to live in University residential communities unless one of the following exceptions apply:
- 21 years of age or older
- Active duty military or veterans of military service
- Living with parents or legal guardians within the commuting distance (40 miles)
- With children
Students commuting from the homes of parents or legal guardians must submit a certification of living with parent(s)/ legal guardian(s) form prior to registration so that they can be cleared for registration. If you wish to be released from the residency requirement, then you must present your request in writing via the Request for Release from the Residency Requirement form. Additional information is available from Housing and Dining.
Students who fall under the Residency Requirement will automatically be blocked from registering for more than eleven (11) hours of coursework in the fall and spring semesters .To comply with the residency requirement and remove the registration hold a student must do one of the following (forms located on the Housing and Residence Life website):
- Complete a University Housing Application.
- Complete a Certification of Living with Parent or Legal Guardian Form.
- Students who believe they have extenuating circumstances for an exemption to the Housing Residency Requirement, must complete a Request for Release from the Residency Requirement form. The form will be reviewed and the student(s) will be informed of whether an exemption to the residency requirement has been met.
Each student must complete one of these steps in order to register for full-time hours. All forms submitted will be subject to final approval by Housing and Dining.
