Am I required to live in campus housing in order to participate in the CEaL program?

I’m local, do I have to live on campus?

All students are required to live on campus, unless living with a parent/legal guardian within 50 miles of CCU and that is the address on file with the Office of Admissions.

Do I have to live and room with other CEaL students?

NO! CEaL students can reside in any residence hall they prefer on campus. Because CEaL students are cohorted in their First-Year Experience classes, have an assigned student peer leader working with them and conducting weekly outreach and are participate in programming specifically designed for them, they will have opportunities to work together academically and socially while in the program.

When will I be able to select my room assignment?

You will be able to select your room assignment in MyCoastalHome in late May. You can access MyCoastalHome through University Housing. See the University Housing website for more details about room selection.
