Good Morning -

You are receiving this additional message because you are currently on track to fulfill the residency requirement during the Spring 2023 semester. Please note, that if you leave the University before February 15, 2023, you will not receive credit for this semester and thus may still be required to live on-campus for the 2023-2024 Academic Year.

The 2023-2024 Housing Application is now available via our Housing Portal at go.wfu.edu/housingportal.

Please review the details below regarding your intent for 2023-2024 and the associated policy regarding changes to intent.

As always, the Office of Residence Life and Housing is available at 336-758-5185 or via email at housing@wfu.edu.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

As you know, Wake Forest University views living on campus as integral to a liberal arts education and the Wake Forest experience. In support of that view, the University has a six-semester residency requirement. 

Those with (or expected to have) 6+ housing credits (typically seniors), will be asked to express their intent to live on or off campus for the 2023-24 Academic Year between January 16 and February 6. 

Those who have fulfilled the residency requirement and do not express an on-campus intent by February 6 will be assigned an off-campus application.

OFF-CAMPUS



• Students living off-campus MUST register their address with the University and complete an off-campus orientation course. 
• Those hoping to live in single-family homes should ensure their property is registered at offcampushousing.wfu.edu PRIOR to signing a lease.
• Properties not listed will need to be registered by the property owner and approved by RL&H before students are allowed to live at that address. 

ON-CAMPUS



• Students who have fulfilled the residency requirement wishing to live on-campus MUST declare their intention by February 6, 2023. 
• Students who have declared their intent for on-campus housing should be mindful of the following cancellation schedule:
• Changes prior to February 27, 2023 - Students who have fulfilled the residency requirement may cancel their on-campus housing application and change their intent to off-campus with no penalty.
• To change your intent, please submit a written request to housing@wfu.edu.
• After February 27, 2023 - Students who have fulfilled the residency requirement and want to cancel their on-campus housing application and change their intent to off-campus will be charged a $250.00 cancellation fee.
• Once a student selects on-campus housing, their housing agreement cannot be canceled. The housing agreement is a legally binding contract once a student signs it (in the same way a lease would be off-campus). Students may not cancel their on-campus housing selection once they select a room.
