Do freshman have to live on campus?

Posted on by

No, the College of Charleston does not require freshmen to live on campus.

First time entering freshmen (regardless of credit hours) living in campus housing during their first academic year are required
to purchase a qualifying College of Charleston meal plan. Cancellations are not permitted unless the student’s request has been approved by Dining
Services.

A resident of campus housing must be enrolled at the College of Charleston and must maintain a minimum of nine (9) semester
hours each semester. The age limit is 24. Exceptions due to extenuating circumstances may be considered by the dean of Residence Life. The College
reserves the right to refuse residence hall admission or readmission at any time if the student fails to meet College admission requirements.
