Off-Campus Housing

Before you begin searching for off-campus housing, make sure you are eligible to live off campus. Review the policy below for details.

Single Student On-Campus Housing Policy

To facilitate positive spiritual, academic, and social experiences, all single, full-time students admitted on or after the Winter 2026 semester will be required to live in on-campus housing.

Exceptions may include living with immediate family members, or students who are aged 25 and older. Students participating in IWORK or Hukilau are normally not eligible for exceptions to live off-campus.

For the full policy, please visit the On-Campus Housing policy page.

Off-Campus Housing

Those intending to live off-campus must find and secure housing on their own. The university does not contract with off-campus properties.

All students living off campus are required to report their current residential address each semester.

To do this, log in to the Housing Portal and complete the off-campus address form. Please submit your address as soon as possible.

After two weeks from the first day of classes, a hold will be placed on any student’s account that does not have a reported address. Submitting your address early helps you avoid holds and confirms that you’re settled and have secure housing for the semester.

A hold will be placed on the student’s account if they are found ineligible to live off campus. The student will be required to move on campus in order to have the hold removed.

Student Living Standards
Family Exemptions
Submit a Contract

Siblings of the opposite sex may live together in the same housing unit provided there are no other single persons in the housing unit.

Separate Married Housing

All married students are required to have their own separate housing apartment from other couples (on- or off-campus). Couples living with extended family are required to have their own bedroom.

Visitors and Overnight Guests: Single-Student Off-Campus Housing

Visitors of the opposite sex are permitted in living rooms and kitchens, but not in the bedroom. Unless further limited by the landlord or property manager, visitors may be permitted between 8 am and midnight.

Enforcing Standards

The university will make reasonable efforts to enforce the standards by:

  • Informing and educating residents of the standards;
  • Investigating complaints and violations;
  • Taking corrective action; and
  • Referring and reporting violations to the appropriate campus departments.
