OUAZ Housing Policy

Certain Ottawa University scholarships contain an eligibility condition that specifies that recipients of those scholarships must reside in University-sponsored housing during the enrollment periods for which the scholarships are awarded.  The following housing policy pertains to all other full-time students, effective July 1, 2019.
 
A student will be required to reside in University-sponsored housing, provided it is available, unless such student meets one or more of the following criteria:

  1. is married;
  2. has legal custody of a child who resides with them at least 50% of the time;
  3. has attained a legal age of 21 prior to August 1 for the fall semester or January 1 for the spring semester;
  4. has lived in Ottawa University-sponsored housing for 6 or more semesters (fall or spring);
  5. resides with his/her parent(s)/legal guardian(s) in one of the following Arizona towns/cities: Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Glendale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Sun City, Surprise, Tolleson, Waddell, Wittman, and Youngtown.  

Students requesting to live off campus must submit the Residency Requirement Exemption Form. The OUAZ On-Campus Residency Committee considers all requests for an exception to the Residency Requirement based on extenuating circumstances. The committee meets in October, November, December, February, March, June, July, and August. The university reserves the right to consider each request on a case-by-case basis and to require any documentation deemed necessary to verify the information submitted with the request. Individuals requesting an exemption are advised to refrain from purchasing property or signing a lease prior to receiving notification of approval from the committee. Because this is a request for an exemption to a requirement, the determination of the committee is final with no right to an appeal.    

 

Vehicle Registration

Any student attending OUAZ that will or plans to have a vehicle on campus must completed the Vehicle Registration Form. If the vehicle you plan to bring changes, please re-submit the form to OUAZ Campus Safety and Security.
