Residence Halls

Rochester College provides room and board for its single traditional-age students (generally 17 to 24) who are enrolled and taking at least nine credit hours from a traditional undergraduate program. Policies promote a close-knit campus culture with social and spiritual aspects that are structured for the residential population. Housing for married or older adult learners (25+) may be available on a student-by-student basis but is not guaranteed. Boarding students in traditional halls and in Palmer rooms without kitchenettes must obtain cafeteria meal services. Each resident is financially responsible for room damages. Off-campus housing is allowed for students who are married, are at least 21 years old and of junior status, or who live with relatives over the age of 25. Institutional financial aid may not be available to students who live off-campus. Exceptions may be considered at the end of the academic year in which the student turns 23 years old or when residence halls are at capacity.
