Housing Policy
In order to receive Saint Francis University Institutional Aid (Institutional merit aid, Athletic scholarship, University grants, Endowed University scholarships, etc.) full-time dependent (as determined by Federal guidelines) undergraduate students are required to do one of the following:
1. Live in University owned or operated housingincludes Residence Halls, University owned apartments/houses/townhouses, and University operated rentals.
2. Commute from primary home of parent or legal guardian as long as the home is within a 40 mile radius of the campus.
3. Be registered with the university as a dependent of a current Saint Francis University employee and receiving tuition remission benefits.
To be eligible for institutional aid, students who commute from the home of a parent or legal guardian or are dependents of a SFU employee and receiving tuition remission benefits must be registered with the Office of Residence Life and approved as a commuter. If a student chooses to live off-campus (private residence, apartment, etc.) they do so with the understanding that they will forfeit Saint Francis University institutional aid. If a student fraudulently reports that they are commuting from home to the Office of Residence Life and are found to be living off-campus, the University reserves the right to revoke institutional aid and disciplinary action may be taken. A Saint Francis University student housing contract is for two semesters.
