Apply to Live Off Campus

All full-time day students are required to live on campus unless they meet specific criteria.

  • Aged 21 or older at the start of the academic year
  • Living at home with parent/legal guardian within 30 miles of Drury's campus
  • Married
  • Have a child
  • Extreme financial need verified by a current FAFSA
  • Medical condition that cannot be accommodated in student housing

Students 21 and over will receive priority for off-campus housing, but are not always guaranteed. Complete a Housing Exemption form if you want to apply to move off campus.

  • New fall semester students who want to exempt from the Housing Policy must submit their form and additional paperwork by July 31st.
  • New spring semester students who want to exempt from the Housing Policy must submit their form and additional paperwork by December 1st.
  • Returning students who want to exempt from the Housing Policy must submit their form and additional paperwork by April 1.

Students who do not receive email permission to exempt from the housing policy will be required to fill out a housing contract in the Housing Office; an on-campus bed and meal plan will be assigned. Do not commit to an off-campus lease until you receive official release from the Housing Office. Students will not be able to register unless the Housing Office has an approved exemption form or a current housing contract on file.
