Commuting and Off Campus Exemption Request
The University of Louisiana System, State of Louisiana, has adopted resolutions affecting the housing policy at Louisiana Tech University and all of the other colleges and universities under its jurisdiction. In compliance with the University of Louisiana System resolutions, Louisiana Tech has adopted the following on-campus residency requirement:
All unmarried full-time undergraduate students, regardless of age or whether or not emancipated, except those living with parents, are required to live in on-campus residence halls as long as space is available, and purchase a meal plan.
The resolutions further define the on-campus residency requirement to include a framework within which the colleges and universities may grant exemptions to the general regulation according to the unique academic character, academic traditions, objectives, and special qualities of each institution, keeping in mind the total objectives of higher education in the State of Louisiana. The philosophy of higher education in the State of Louisiana includes, in addition to the basic and primary educational pursuits, additional enrichment afforded by student life facilities and programs, all of which form an integral part of the total educational experience of the student. In order to be consistent in granting exemptions from the on-campus residency requirement,
All unmarried full-time undergraduate students, regardless of age or whether or not emancipated, except those living with parents will be required to make application if they wish to be considered for an exemption.
