Residency Requirements

Following is the residency requirement as noted on page 38 of the Student Handbook:

In response to our beliefs about the importance of residential living, Concordia has the following residency requirement:

"As a requirement of graduation from Concordia University Portland, all students under the age of 21 must live on campus for a period of two years. This should take place during the freshman and sophomore years of attendance. Students who are under 21 transferring to Concordia must live on campus for at least one year."

Exceptions to this policy will be made for students who are married, live with their parents within 40 miles of campus, and students taking less than 12 credits. The Housing Review Committee will review all other exceptions.
Procedure to get an exception:

  1. Pick up a Residency Requirement Waiver from Student Services.
  2. Fill out this waiver completely and return to Student Services.
