Requests to Live Off-Campus

Any student who does not meet one of the established housing exemptions must submit a formal letter of appeal outlining his/her reasons for wanting to live off-campus to the Assistant Dean for Campus Life. No exceptions will be made unless the request is made in writing. Students should understand, however, that few exceptions are made given that the evidence suggests that on-campus living is a significant aspect of student academic and personal success.

Letters of appeal should be mailed to:

Assistant Dean for Campus Life
Columbia College
1001 Rogers Street
Columbia, MO 65216

or send the appeal by email to: jpstarkey@ccis.edu.

Make sure the letter includes:

The Assistant Dean will review all appeals and render a decision. Once a decision has been made, the student will be notified. If the appeal is denied, the student's final option is to appeal to the Dean for Campus Life. To appeal to the Dean, students should call (573) 875-7400 to schedule an appointment.
