The residential requirement is a critical part of the Colorado College experience. As a result, all students must live on campus for the first three years of their enrollment at CC. Students may apply to live off campus if they meet one or more of the following qualifications:

• Are married or are same-sex domestic partners as substantiated by the college
• Have dependent children living with them
• Will live with their parent(s) or legal guardian in Colorado Springs
• Are 23 years of age or older
• Are veterans

Signing a lease without off-campus housing approval does not exempt a student from financial responsibility for an assigned space in campus housing.

Off-Campus Housing Information

No single office deals specifically with off-campus student issues. However, the Residential Experience has information on local housing. 

All students who live on or off campus have the responsibility to uphold the Code of Conduct. Any student whose behavior does not fall within the standards of the college may be required to return to campus housing, as well as face additional conduct responses.
