Initial and Continuing Eligibility:

To be eligible for University housing, you must be enrolled full-time and have a 2.0
cumulative grade point average on 12 or more hours during the prior regular fall or
spring semester. Beginning freshmen are eligible for housing when they are admitted
but must meet the GPA requirement at the end of the first semester in order to maintain
eligibility.   Please note the academic requirements for these specific halls below:

• Louisiana, Livingston, and Ascension Halls — 3.0
• Southeastern Oaks — 2.3

Regaining Eligibility:

Students who do not meet housing eligibility requirements may become eligible by raising
their cumulative GPA to 2.0 on 12 or more hours during the prior regular fall or spring
semester. 

Any student who does not meet the academic standards for housing has the right to
appeal to the Housing Academic Standards Appeals Committee. However, to be considered
for an exception to these standards, the student must provide convincing evidence
of potential to meet the academic standards in the future and to make satisfactory
progress toward the degree. The appeal should also convey a commitment to an academic
focus while residing in the Housing community and should describe the benefits the
student hopes to receive from the Housing experience.
