Off Campus

All first-year and sophomore students who do not reside within commuting distance (within 45 miles of campus) and who are under 21 years of age are required to live in college housing. 

Living Off Campus

Juniors and seniors who have successfully completed at least 57 credit hours and maintain a 2.5 minimum GPA may reside off-campus. A student meeting those criteria will be conditionally approved, pending the successful completion of the semester prior to moving off campus. Students must provide certain information prior to obtaining their final class schedule from the Registrar's Office. This can be done by emailing the completed Off-Campus Student Information form to studentaffairs@liangxinbaojian.net or the Division of Student Affairs.

Commuter Requirements

A commuter student is defined as a student who resides in the permanent home of his or her parents or legal guardian, or in the home of a close relative (who is not a student and is at least 30 years of age), and who commutes to classes each day. A commuter may not reside more than forty-five driving miles from home to the campus.

When a student is living with a close relative (grandparent, sibling, aunt or uncle) other than their parents or legal guardian over the age of 30 they must demonstrate the following:

  1. the relative has lived at the address as their permanent residence for at least one calendar year prior to the request being submitted,
  2. the relative will live full-time with the student,
  3. the student must provide significant documentation of the family relationship,
  4. the relative must provide a letter assuming responsibility for the student; and
  5. the student must change their permanent address to their residence as a commuter.

Other King's College students, unless a child of the adult relative, are not permitted to live in the same dwelling. Providing false information will result in disciplinary action and being charged for housing and meals for an academic year. The same process will apply to students when a parent or guardian has moved from outside of 45 miles to the local area.
