First Year Waiver

AS A FIRST-YEAR STUDENT, CAN I LIVE AT HOME AND COMMUTE TO ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY?

First-year students who are 17 years of age or older at the start of the fall semester of their first year are required to live on campus. However, first-year students living at the legal residence of their parent(s) or legal guardian(s) within a 25-mile radius of campus, first-year students who are at least 21 years old prior to the academic term starting, or students with a medical or financial hardship may complete the Request for Waiver of Living on Campus in the myDen portal. Waiver requests, along with appropriate documentation, will be reviewed by a committee, and notification of a decision will be sent via A-State student email within fourteen (14) business days.
