Section 3: Student Housing The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor offers a variety of student housing options including traditional residence halls, apartment-style housing, and campus houses. Each facility is administered by a Resident Director (RD) who is a full-time university employee residing on the premises. To view information about each residential facility, please click here. Living in student housing, while a privilege, is also an integral part of the process by which students acquire maturity and develop skills in interpersonal relations. Cultivating a higher level of independence and self-reliance are important components of the overall educational experience at UMHB. The university normally accepts applications for occupancy in the traditional residence halls from full-time, degree-seeking, unmarried students who have no dependents living with them. Students at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor are required to reside in student housing unless one of the following criteria is met:
Will reside with a spouse, parent, or guardian within commuting distance
Will have 48 accumulated hours
Will be 21 years of age on or before the first day of class
Will attend the university as a part-time student
Note: This policy applies to fall/spring semesters only. Students over the age of 25 may be eligible for placement within multi-occupancy units in apartment-style housing. Student housing is limited and typically not available for all students who desire to live on campus. Students wishing to request special consideration with respect to student housing should contact the Director of Residence Life as early as possible. Resident students are responsible for obtaining a physical or online copy of the Guide to Campus Housing and abiding by the policies stated therein. Only students may reside in student housing. Visitors are only allowed in the student housing areas under certain circumstances. The university reserves the right to change student room or housing assignments its sole discretion and to withhold or withdraw housing from students for cause.
