As you are deciding where you are going to live while you attend HSU there is one thing you absolutely need to know:
Henderson State University has a MANDATORY on campus residency requirement.
- All fulltime students attending the university under age 21 who have completed 59 or fewer hours prior to the first day of classes for the term and are not living at the primary residence of their parents or legal guardians within a 60-mile radius of the university are required to reside on campus.
- Attaining the age requirement does not void contractual agreements made for housing; provided, however, that a student who will attain the age of 21 prior to the first day of classes for the following spring semester may request a one-semester housing contract/and further provided that a student under 21 who satisfactorily completes 60 or more hours during the first semester may be released from the second semester of the housing contract. A non-refundable application fee is required before the application can be processed.
- A student who is a military veteran with at least two years of service is exempted from these housing requirements.
- A married student, living with his/her spouse is exempted from these housing requirements.
- A single parent may also be exempted from these housing requirements if their child lives with them.
