Residential
Living
Student housing
is an important service rendered by any college. However, Millsaps
places a great deal of emphasis on the learning process that takes
place within the residence halls. The residential life program is
administered by a team of professionals including the Dean of Students,
Director of Residence Life, Assistant Directors of Residence Life,
and Resident Assistants.
Housing assignments
for new students are made by the Residence Life professional staff
who can be found in the Office of Student Affairs. They assist students
in determining their living situations by taking into account roommate
choice, and several other factors. Questions regarding the assignment
process should be addressed to the Director of Residence Life.
Millsaps is
a residential college based upon the belief that a significant amount
of learning and growth takes place outside of the classroom. As
such, a residency requirement has been established. All students
classified, by credit units, as freshmen or sophomores are required
to live in college residence halls. Exceptions to this policy may
be granted if the student is married or lives with his or her immediate
family in Jackson or vicinity. Freshmen and sophomore students are
not allowed to live in the fraternity house during the academic
year.
Residence hall
rooms are designed to house two students each. Students should send
the completed housing forms and housing deposit by the designated
date. Students wishing to room together should specify their desire
to room together on their housing request. Single rooms are normally
not available. Room rent cannot be refunded after the semester begins.
Assignments
for upperclass students are made in the spring. The process is arranged
with Residence Life. Students should contact the RA for more information.
Current students
who have become academically ineligible and who have not been readmitted
on petition by June 1 will be refunded the room deposit. These students,
if readmitted at a later date, must pay the room deposit and will
be put on a waiting list for room assignments.
Residence halls
will be closed for Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks. Dates
and times of hall closings and openings are listed on the housing
contract.
