Live-On Campus Requirements

First-year students, with less than 20 college credit hours earned after high school graduation, who are under 21 and are not living in the local area with their legal guardian are required to live in UNC's housing system through the completion of their first academic year.

Due to COVID-19 you can request an exemption for the fall 2020 semester via the petition for release. Exemptions are for students who are staying home with family and you are expected to be back on campus in spring 2021.
