Housing Exemption

Undergraduate students 16-22 years of age are required to live in University undergraduate housing unless they are married, are the legal guardian of a minor, are taking less than 9 onsite (not online) credit hours, or living with a legal guardian within 60 miles of the Marion campus of Indiana Wesleyan University. Students who meet these criteria are eligible for exemption and may complete an Off-Campus Housing Application.

A Housing Exemption Appeal process is available to students who experience significant financial need, have a documented mental/emotional/physical health needs that cannot be met by living on campus, or personal crisis. Consequently, the criteria to be considered for the exemption to live off campus must be of the magnitude that would clearly jeopardize continued enrollment at IWU. The Housing Exemption Appeal packet is available under the Forms section on the Housing page of the portal.
