Summer Housing

Do your summer plans include taking summer classes, athletic work-outs, floating the Caddo River, tanning at the lake, or working in Arkadelphia; then you should consider living on campus this summer. You can live in West Hall for the summer while experiencing all that Arkadelphia has to offer. Not taking college classes this summer? Don’t worry, you do not have to be enrolled in summer classes to live on campus, but you must be a fully-admitted Henderson student to take part in this unique experience. To apply please fill out the Summer Housing Application, by clicking on the link, and mail it to the following address:

 

In addition to our summer housing option at West hall we also offer summer housing at Eagle Point Apartment Complex. Currently we lease 10 two bedroom apartments that will house three people each, one person in a single bedroom and two in a double bedroom. These apartments are only furnished with a bed frame and mattress. The tenant is responsible for all other furniture in the apartment. If you are interested in living in one of these apartments you may apply by filling out the Eagle Point Summer Housing Application and mail it to the address listed below.

Fall and Spring Housing

What you need to know about living on campus. The first and most important thing you should know is that Henderson State has a mandatory underclassman requirement to live on campus.

• 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.
• This policy applies to transfer students as well.
This simply means that unless you commute from the home of your parents, you have to live on campus. For most students this means you have to live on campus for the first two years of school (that is if you complete 15 hours per semester).
Any student choosing to commute to school from the home of a parent must fill out the Permission to Live Off Campus Form. This form must be notarized to make it official.
