- First Year Live On Requirement
Central Washington University follows the guidance of the Washington Administrative Code. The WAC policy requires that all students under the age of 20, living outside a commutable distance with a direct relative, having completed less than three quarters or two semesters of college credits post high school (Running Start credits do not count), or that are single, must live in the residence halls. See the complete policy to know if you are required to live on-campus or not. First-year students who have not completed their housing and dining application nor received an approved exemption may be assigned a room and meal plan through our courtesy enrollment process.
