UAH is committed to providing our students with a comprehensive, successful academic experience. National studies indicate there are numerous educational and social benefits for students who live on campus. Among them, students who live on campus typically enjoy a more favorable overall college experience, are more likely to attend class and maintain higher grade point averages, and graduate in less time than their off-campus peers. All full-time first year students who graduated high school within the preceding twelve (12) months and have a permanent legal residence beyond a thirty (30) mile radius from campus are required to live in the campus residence halls for the entire academic year. 40 Within 30: Exceptions to the Live On Requirement Students meeting the following criteria may submit a request for an exemption to this Policy by completing the Request for Waiver of Housing Requirement Form and providing any required supporting documents.
