All full-time Carroll College students who are under the age of 21 are required to reside on-campus for two years. Students required to live on campus, regardless of Carroll College’s receipt of their Housing Agreement, will be assigned to a residence hall room and All-Access meal plan for the year and billed accordingly. Students seeking an exception to this requirement must complete this electronic application and submit any required documentation. Application deadlines are firm and the Committee decisions are final. Incomplete applications will not be processed. Students enrolling at Carroll College after the exception application deadline may submit their exception application to the Director of Residential Life & Housing directly. No applications will be processed after the first day of class.

Medical accommodations for housing and meal plans are processed by the Carroll College Accessibility Coordinator. Special dietary needs should be directed to the food service manager prior to communicating with the Accessibility Services Coordinator. Sodexo regularly accommodates food allergies and sensitivities and is well equipped to make arrangement with students. Students seeking a medical accommodation for extreme dietary restrictions and severe allergies that cannot be accommodated by Sodexo must contact the Accessibility Services Coordinator. Medical documentation and the appropriate application and approval for such an accommodation must be complete. Charges applied to a student’s account will remain until the medical accommodation has been approved.
