Residential Life & Housing
Residential Life & Housing Office
All administrative processes associated with residential life are coordinated through the RLH Office. Specifically, room assignments, room selection, room changes, residence hall opening and closing, and damage restitution.

About Residential Life & Housing

There are more than 1,700 graduate and undergraduate students who reside in the University's nine residence halls and fourteen houses (including  2 graduate houses). The goal of the Residential Life and Housing (RLH) Office is to provide a living environment that allows for academic pursuits, interpersonal interactions, educational opportunities and social events. The environment created is intended to encourage freedom of action and self-expression within the context of community responsibility.

Residency Requirement

Students entering college for the first time must live on campus for their first four semesters at Clark. Exceptions to this must be granted by the Office of Residential Life and Housing, and are only made if the student will be living with a parent or legal guardian, and the primary abode is no more than 25 miles from campus. Students who transfer into Clark as juniors or seniors are not required to live on campus, but are certainly invited to. Those who transfer in as first-years or sophomores must live on campus until junior status is reached. Students reaching junior status in the middle of the year, however, are reminded that their housing contract extends through the academic year, and they must remain on campus for the entire year. Questions about this policy should be directed to the Office of Residential Life and Housing.
