Am I required to live on campus ?
No. Students are not required to live on campus. At this time, all Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, and Graduate Students are welcome to choose to live on campus or off campus. Please note that on-campus housing is in very high demand, so we recommend applying as early as possible at www.ksuhousing.com once you have been accepted to the University.

How do I apply for housing?
All the housing applications are done on-line, so you'll need to go to www.ksuhousing.com. You will be instructed to select one of the communities, and then you should follow instructions from there. You will also be able to get specific community information from that website.

When do I move in ?
Fall 2012 move-in dates are scheduled for August 14th, 15th, and 16th, 2012. Please consult the Move-In Schedule to find out when you may show up and check in. Please note that you may not move in earlier than your assigned date and time.

What if I'm not going to be there for the entire 12-month period, but I have signed a lease?
Once you sign the lease, you have a contractual obligation to pay for 12 months. In the event that you have to vacate your apartment, you may find an appropriate person to take over your lease. You must check with the management office first to make these arrangements. If you can't find someone to take over your lease, you should have the management office "flag" your account so that anyone who is looking for an apartment could consider yours. You are rent-responsible, however, until you find someone to take over your lease. There is a fee associated with re-assigning your lease to another party. For further information about contract cancellation policies, please contact Residence Life at 770-420-4388.

Can I drive my car from my apartment to class?
Since you are ON campus, and spaces are needed for commuters, you are limited to parking in the spaces designated for residential students. Rain or shine, you must walk to campus, just as they do on thousands of campuses around the world. Commuter students may not park in residential parking, either. You will be given a sticker that will identify your vehicle as residential, and commuters will be given stickers that identify them as commuters. Tickets will be given, and cars may be towed for those vehicles parked in the wrong place! There are times when open parking is available throughout the campus. For more information about the times when this is the case, please visit the Parking website.

How big is my bed?
Those students living in University Place, University Village, and KSU Place Bldgs A-G have full size beds. Those students living in KSU Place Bldgs 100-400, and all University Village Suites residents have twin extra long beds. Please see the full Move-In Checklist for more information on items that are provided, as well as items you will need to bring with you.

Is there a meal plan along with the housing?
A dining plan is available for students in a variety of formats at "The Commons," which opens in Fall 2009. For more information about dining plans, visit Culinary Services' website at https://financialservices.kennesaw.edu/culinary.

Do I have to be a full-time student to live on campus?
Yes. All students must be enrolled and taking classes at the time they are living on campus (12 hours undergraduate/9 hours graduate). If you are academically dismissed from the University, you will be asked to vacate your apartment. If you are not taking classes during a semester for any reason, you will be asked to vacate your apartment. Please note, however, that you are still responsible to fulfill your lease obligation. Not taking classes does not mean you get out of your contract. The only exception to this rule is during the Summer, when students who have stayed with us during the regular academic year are allowed to remain in their apartments over the Summer, regardless of whether or not they are taking classes. Exceptions to the full-time enrollment requirement must be appealed to reslife@kennesaw.edu.

Are there rules I must follow to live on campus?
Absolutely! A violation of the Student Code of Conduct or the Residential Code of Conduct could result in your dismissal from housing. As with academic dismissals, dismissals from housing related to disciplinary action do not automatically release you from your contractual obligation with KSU Housing. You will still have to fulfill your lease. More information is available in the KSU Resident Handbook.

Is housing single-sex or co-ed?
All living learning communities are co-ed within the buildings, but individual living units are single gender, even when suitemates are related.   All students have private bedrooms, so shared living space is minimal.  On campus housing recognizes that everyone does not classify themselves along strict lines of gender. With respect to this diversity, special arrangements are available as needed and require authorization from the Director of Housing and Residence Life or designee.  Please contact the Department of Residence Life for more information at reslife@kennesaw.edu. 

Is summer housing available?
Summer housing is based on availability. Depending on your circumstances, whether you are interested in only staying for the summer or would like to remain in the residence halls and establish housing for the following academic year, the details will have to be worked out with property management. You may contact them at 770-426-0668.

Is there a program to find roommates for students that plan to live off campus?
KSU does not offer an off-campus housing roommate matching service. You are welcome to use the third party service found on our housing website under Off-Campus Housing.

What is the Residence Life Fee?
All residents pay a Residence Life fee once a year to provide programming and community events for residential students. The Residence Life fee also supports various residence life functions performed by the Residents Assistants, as well as the social components of the living-learning communities. All residents are encouraged to get involved in the Residence Hall Association (RHA) or with their Community Councils and provide input on programs and services offered and how the fee is used. To find out how to get involved with RHA or Community Council, contact your RA.

What if I sign a housing contract and then I am not accepted or do not attend KSU?
If, prior to the Housing Contract start date, you provide notice and proof to property management that you will not be attending Kennesaw State University or that you were not accepted as a student to Kennesaw State University, you may terminate your Housing Contract. You will, however, forfeit all fees paid.
