The Office of Residence Life promotes inclusive personal growth and leadership development by effectively challenging and supporting students through compassionate and memorable community experiences. Marian’s residence facilities have been designed to create a living-learning environment in support of the Mission and consistent with the Core Values of the University. Students living in or visiting the residence facilities are expected to live the value of community – respect for self, others, property, and authority – and develop an environment that fosters a culture of learning and reflection balanced with the development of healthy relationships and an enjoyable social life. In addition to following the University policies, students who live in or visit University-owned housing facilities must comply with residential policies.

All first- and second-year students, unmarried and younger than 21, are required to live on campus. The only exception is if a student lives with a parent or guardian within a 35-mile radius of the University. Housing contracts are valid for one academic year, which is defined as the fall and spring semesters. On-campus housing is only available to full-time students enrolled for a minimum of 12 credits and actively attending classes at Marian University. If at any time a student drops below the required 12 credits, he/she must contact the Director of Residence Life. (A request for an exception for temporary part-time students must be made both in writing and in person to the Director of Residence Life.)
