Policy Under Review: Housing Campus Residency Requirement
Type (New, Revision, etc.): Revision - replaces existing First-Year Residency Requirement policy
Description: The proposed revised Housing Campus Residency Requirement policy modifies the campus housing requirement to require that first-time, full-time undergraduate students live on campus for two years (first four consecutive semesters) rather than the existing one-year requirement, subject to exemptions. The existing county/residence-based exemption has been revised to a mileage/radius-based exemption.
Applicability: This policy applies to first-time, full-time undergraduate NKU students, subject to the exceptions described in the policy, and all NKU housing operations. The policy goes into effect beginning in the 2026-27 academic year.
