Yes!

In recognition of the value of the living-learning experience associated with on-campus living, the 欧博娱乐城 Department of Housing and Residence Life has a freshman residency program for the Hattiesburg campus. This would require all new first-time, full-time freshman students to live on campus their first year at 欧博娱乐城. This is also consistent with the other state institutions in Mississippi, who have had their first year residency requirements for a number of years.

Possible exemptions from the first year live-on requirement include:

• The student is 20 years of age prior to the first day of classes of the student's first semester. A copy of the certificate of birth or passport must be submitted.
• The student is married. A copy of the certificate of marriage must be submitted.
• The student has custody of dependent children. A copy of the certificate of birth and copy of your federal tax return, verifying the child is your dependent, must be submitted.
• The student lives with parent(s)/guardian(s) whose current permanent primary place of residence is not more than 50 miles driving distance from 欧博娱乐城. A completed parent/guardian verification statement must be submitted.
• The student is a transfer student and 欧博娱乐城 has accepted at least 24 semester credit hours. A copy of unofficial transcripts must be submitted.
• The student is enrolled part-time (less than 12 hours per semester). A copy of class schedule must be submitted.
• The student has a compelling circumstance. A letter concisely and fully describing the circumstance and any supporting documentation must be submitted.

Note: If you are a transfer student with a freshman status, meaning less than 24 credit hours, you will be required to live on campus for your first year at 欧博娱乐城.

Please Note: In order for your housing application to be considered complete, you must:

If you are a returning upperclassman student, you will not have to pay the non-refundable application fee. 

If you are accepted to the Hattiesburg campus, there are on-campus residence halls and apartments to choose from. However, if you're accepted to the Gulf Park campus, there are no on-campus living options, so you have the option to commute or look for housing. That being said, the first-year live-on requirement is only applicable to the Hattiesburg campus.

For freshman students, the application and processing fee can be submitted at any time; however, the earlier your application is complete (application submitted and non-refundable processing fee paid) the better chance you have of selecting the room you prefer on campus.

For upperclassman and transfer students, the earlier you apply for housing, the better the chance you will have at being placed in a room on campus. Due to the 1st year live-on requirement, we have to prioritize freshman students first, so please apply for housing as soon as it becomes available (which is October 1)! 

Freshman and transfer students applying by March 1, the priority deadline, will have an application fee rate of $75. Beginning March 2, the non-refundable processing fee increases to $150.

The non-refundable processing fee is assessed to students for the process of reviewing applications and making assignments. The processing fee can be paid online using a VISA or MasterCard. Students may also pay using a money order mailed to the Department of Housing and Residence Life (118 College Drive #5064, Hattiesburg, MS 39406) or turned in to the front office located in Hattiesburg Hall. Students should note their name and student ID number on the money order.

Students who cancel their application through the by June 1 for the following fall/spring terms will be released without any financial penalty.

• Students who cancel after June 1, but prior to July 1, will be charged a $500 cancellation fee.
• Students who cancel between July 1 - August 1, will be charged a $750 cancellation fee.

Beginning August 2, students will be held to the terms of their contract lease agreement.

Students charged either the cancellation鈥痜ee or the full contract fee may appeal at any time. Appeal forms and information can be found in the under the "Miscellaneous Forms and Requests" tab. 

Housing priority is established based on completed application date which includes a fully signed and executed contract lease agreement and completed parent contract and payment of the non-refundable processing fee, if required.

Current residents who go through room selection will receive their assignment information upon completion of that process. If students do not go through room selection or apply after the January 1 priority deadline, they will be placed by the assignments team and receive their assignment by June 1 pending available space.

New upperclassman/transfer students who go through room selection will receive their assignment information upon completion of that process. If students do not go through
