Mission statement
The Office of University Residences and Campus Dining seeks to provide a healthy, supportive, and sustainable community living-learning experience by encouraging and educating our students and staff to adapt to an evolving society; grow personally and academically; and recognize their impact as responsible and inclusive citizens.
Freshman Live-In Requirement
First year students who enroll at WOU within one year of high school graduation regardless of class standing must live on campus for the full academic year (Fall, Winter and Spring terms). Exceptions to this requirement may be requested by petition. Exceptions that are generally approved are as follows:
- Living at Home with Parents, within a 30 mile radius of WOU.
- Having a Dependent that is living with you.
- Marriage.
Other exceptions will be evaluated, but are generally not approved. If waiver of the live-in requirement is approved a $7.00/day cancellation fee for each day remaining in the contract will be applied to the student's account.
