Freshman Housing Requirement
If you are a freshman, you are required to live on campus. We do have some exceptions to this rule. However, students have to be eligible for the exception. The student can’t already be in checked in and in contract after school starts:
- You are 21 years of age or older
- Living with a parent or legal guardian at their permanent address within a 50-mile driving radius of the university
- Living with a sibling who is a full-time student
- Married
- Single Parent
- Previously have lived in Tennessee Tech housing for 2 full semesters
If you meet one of these exceptions and already have a housing hold, you may fill
out the Request for Release form to go through the housing release process.
Immunization Requirement
The State of Tennessee requires that all new incoming students living on campus who are under 22 years of age, produce proof of adequate immunization against Meningococcal Disease (Meningitis) on or after your 16th birthday. You must submit this proof to the Health Services office. Please do not send anything to Residential Life. You are not allowed to check into your room or apartment if you DO NOT HAVE your meningitis documentation submitted to Health Services. Please refer all questions and submit proof to Health Services.
Disability Housing Requests
Do you have a physical disability or condition warranting special consideration in making your assignment? If YES, students requesting disability housing accommodations MUST register with The Accessible Education Center (formerly Office of Disability Services) before housing accommodations may be provided.
