Residency Requirement
As a residential college, Augustana affirms the value of living in community together and we therefore require students to live in college housing. The College has a three year* residency requirement for students who enroll at Augustana for the first time beginning in the fall semester of 2006 or later.

Students are required to live in college-owned housing during their first, second, and third years* unless they are:

  • Enrolled as a part-time enrollment student (fewer than 10 credits per semester), or
  • Married or have parent/guardian status for a dependent child.
  • Parent or legal guardian in the local area
  • Living with immediate family (parent or legal guardian) in the local area.
  • At least four years beyond their high school graduation date.

*Note: This residency requirement is not based upon earned academic credits but rather the number of years a student has attended college or has had other post-high school experiences.
