Residency Requirement
- On-Campus Housing Requirement
All undergraduate, unmarried students, with the exception of those who live with a parent or guardian, are over 21 years of age, or have completed 90 hours by the beginning of the Fall academic
period are required to maintain residence in University of Mobile campus housing.
The University of Mobile strongly feels that living on campus is a large part of the educational process. As part of the University commitment to this total educational concept, students receiving $7,500.00 or more in institutional aid must live on campus unless living with a parent or guardian. In keeping with the mission of the University to graduate students who are prepared academically, developing spiritually, and responsible socially, we believe this policy provides students the opportunity to fully interact with others from a variety of backgrounds and geographical locations. Students who live on campus also become more involved in campus activities, academic clubs and social organizations. This overall atmosphere promotes individual growth in educational, spiritual and social arenas.
All students living on campus are expected to: abide by the rules and regulations set forth by the University of Mobile, respect and cooperate fully with all Resident Coordinators and Resident Assistants, and be enrolled at the University of Mobile as a full-time student.
