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 residence 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
in late July. Housing assignments are determined by several factors
including roommate preference and the items listed on the housing
preference sheet. For the best housing & roommate matching possible,
it is imperative the student fill out the housing preference sheet
him/herself.
Millsaps is
a residential college based upon the belief that a significant amount
of learning and growth takes place outside 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 the Jackson 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
in their completed housing forms as soon as possible. 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 upper-class students are made in the spring. The process is
arranged through Residence Life. Students should contact their RA
for more information.
Current students
who have become academically before the beginning of fall semester,
if readmitted, 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.
