Application process to live off-campus

Housing Services, in conjunction with student leaders, including Bucknell Student Government, has examined the policies and procedures for living off-campus. The four-year residency and the permission requirements to reside off-campus have not changed.  The process and timeline for the 2013-14 academic year have been updated.

The past practice of first-come, first-served has been replaced by a seniority-based system. Rising seniors now have priority. The outcome, a multiple-step process contained in myBucknell, affirms the University’s commitment to a full residential experience and a cooperative and respectful relationship with Lewisburg neighbors.

Students intending to live off-campus must complete all phases of the process:

• Phase One - Application
• Phase Two - Review of Standing
• Phase Three - Off Campus Living Programming / Community Involvement
• Phase Four - Application Completion
• Phase Five - Acceptance / Final Confirmations
