On-Campus Living

(First-Year Student Requirement)

Esperanza Hall is our on-campus student housing development and provides students with an academic, success-oriented living environment. Students living on campus enjoy a broader overall college experience than those who do not.

Unfortunately, space at Esperanza Hall is very limited so some students will be provided a waiver from the mandatory first-year on-campus housing requirement. Please click here for the complete policy. First-year students whose permanent address is more than 50 miles away will be given priority to live on campus. Additional priority assignments may be provided to students with a demonstrated need or university interest in on-campus housing. Please note that students who do not meet the established priorities may not be eligible for on-campus housing at Esperanza Hall.  

The University has engaged American Campus Communities (ACC) to manage, operate and maintain Esperanza Hall. For more information, please click here.

NOTE: In order to be eligible for housing, students must be admitted to the University. Additionally, students must submit a housing application and pay a $200 reservation fee to start the housing process. Because space is limited, space is not guaranteed in Esperanza Hall until both the student and the University sign a fully executed contract.

Important Dates
