Residence Life Policies
Housing Exemptions
All students enrolled at Earlham College are required
to live in College housing. A very limited number of exemptions
to live in non-college housing are granted each year. The College
reserves the right to fill its residence facilities before granting
exemptions from College housing. Students who are granted permission
to live in non-college housing are classified as exempt.
The following
exemptions are granted:
1. Automatic Exemptions:
Students in the following categories are
not required to live in College housing:
(a) Married students
(b) Students who have dependent children residing
with them
(c) Students who reside with their parents/guardians
(in Wayne County, IN, or Preble County, OH)
(d) Students who turn 23 years of age by January
1 of the following year
(e) Students who are officially registered as “part-time” or “special” as
approved by the Registrar
(f) Super Seniors as defined by Housing Lottery
Handbook
(g) Veterans
2. Upperclass Exemptions:
Permission to live in
non-College housing is granted to a limited number of upperclass
students. The number
of upperclass exemptions is determined by the number of students
returning in the fall balanced against the number of available
housing spaces. Exemptions are awarded by lottery number during
the Spring Housing Process. Those who do not acquire exemptions
will be placed on a waiting list in lottery number order. The number
of housing exemptions is determined by the Director of Residence
Life and Vice President for Financial Affairs.
3. Special Exemptions:
Students who feel that special circumstances (e.g. medical, psychological)
necessitate their living in non-College housing may petition for
an exemption prior to the deadline listed in the Lottery Handbook.
The petition should describe these special circumstances in detail
and must convincingly demonstrate the uniqueness of the student’s
case. Petitions are reviewed by the Special Housing Request Committee.

Guidelines which govern room selection, placement,
waiting lists, etc. are available from the Office of Residence
Life.
