Resident Commuters

In order to apply, you would need to meet these standard requirements.

• Good academic standing (no restriction or probation)
• Good disciplinary standing (no active conduct sanctions)
• Paid the housing deposit and completed the housing contract
• Completed the online off-campus application
• Completed the online education program regarding expectations when living off campus
• Indicate that the future property is licensed by the City of York or relevant municipality

A minimum credit requirement is set for applicants every year.  This information will be shared with parents/guardians and with students prior to the beginning of the resident commuter application process.

You should not sign a lease or put down any money unless you are released from the YCP residency requirement by the Office of Residence Life.  Signing a lease is not considered criteria on which releases are based.  This applies to all students.

Usually there are more students who apply and are eligible than will be released.  Release is not guaranteed.  As the number of new and current residents changes every year, our office cannot make this determination ahead of time.

No.  The application will only be available to students who have successfully earned the specified number of credits by the end of the Fall semester.  You will continue through the on campus room selection/lottery process.

Applications may not be submitted after the deadline and will not be accepted as students are expected to meet all published deadlines.  Information regarding the process and all deadlines are mailed to every on-campus student's home address in the Fall, are email to all current on-campus students, may be found on this website, are posted on residence hall bulletin boards, are sent to students on flyers, and are shared during the housing information sessions.
