Residency Policy

Millikin University has a three-year residential requirement for full-time, undergraduate students.

All students must live in approved housing for at least three years, which includes:

  • University-owned residence halls (primarily first- year students only);
  • The Woods at Millikin apartment complex (sophomore, junior and senior students); or
  • Approved fraternity and sorority housing (must be a member of an organization with University- approved housing).

To live off campus, students must meet one of the following criteria:

  • Be 24 years of age or older;
  • Be married;
  • Have dependents living with them full-time;
  • Be of senior standing (88 credits or more AND by matriculation, beginning their seventh Millikin semester) at the beginning of the fall term; or
  • Live with a parent or guardian within a 40-mile radius of campus and submit required paperwork.

Housing Options

First-year students are assigned to rooms in one of Millikin’s three on-campus residence halls. Rooms are furnished with beds, desks and chairs, a dresser and closet areas. Amenities vary by hall and typically include laundry facilities, vending machines, microwave access, wireless internet and secured access.
