Assignment Information
Residency Requirement
Mercer University requires freshmen and sophomores to live in on-campus residential facilities, except for students:
• who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age
• who are married
• who are parents and have their child living with them
• who live at home with a parent or guardian within a reasonable commuting distance
• who are veterans
Contract
The residence hall contract is for the entire academic year. The contract is for residence in University Housing and not for a particular hall, room or roommate.
"No Shows"
Rooms that are not claimed by the first day of classes each term may be reassigned.
Room Changes and Consolidation
Students are allowed to make room changes at identified times, usually during the second week of classes each semester. These dates are publicized in the residential facilities and through the Mercer e-mail system.
Students desiring to move to a new room must follow procedures as directed by the Office of Housing and Residence Life to formally change rooms. A student making an improper room change is subject to a $25.00 fee, and may be requested to return to the appropriate assigned room. For times other than the designated room change period, any room changes must be approved by the Office of Housing and Residence Life.
After room changes, students without roommates are in the consolidation process and have the following options:
1) choose a roommate
2) declare a private room
3) be prepared to have someone assigned to their vacant space at any time.
