5 The residence halls are owned and operated by the University. Residence halls are typically double occupancy furnished rooms. Each building also has shared bathrooms, lounges, and complimentary laundry facilities. Landline phone service is not available in the residence halls. Residence hall students must purchase a meal plan. Meal plan options are available at cedarville.edu/cashiers. The following guidelines support the safety and security of residents, the maintenance of the buildings, and provide instruction for students in community living. RESIDENTIAL REQUIREMENT AND OFF-CAMPUS ELIGIBILITY Cedarville is a residential campus, which means that most of our undergraduate students are required to live in the residence halls. Some exceptions include: Students 23 or older * Married students Students who commute from their parents’ homes Special permission is granted each year to a limited number of upperclassmen to live off campus * Students between the ages of 23 to 25 years of age may live on campus but do not need permission to live off campus. Students 26 years of age or older must secure off-campus housing. On-campus eligibility is determined by a student’s age on the first day of classes in the semester. PERSONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY Students are expected to assume responsibility for their own personal care. Ohio law and general health practices influence some of our guidelines for community health. Each student is required to complete the Hepatitis B/ Meningitis Vaccination Status Form and provide verification of immunity from MMR as a prerequisite for living in the residence halls. These policies (applicable for residence hall students) and additional information can be found at cedarville.edu/ums. POST-SURGERY Because of the potential complications following any surgery that requires general anesthesia, students are not permitted back in the residence hall for 48 hours following surgery. RESIDENCE HALL OPENINGS AND CLOSINGS The University publishes the dates for the start of each term, including when the residence halls open. Students should plan accordingly. Students who must arrive early for the term should receive permission in advance by contacting Residence Life. There is a charge of $50 per day for early arrivals. Fall Semester — The residence halls open during Getting Started Weekend on the dates posted on the University calendar. The residence halls close at 5 p.m. on the Saturday following final exams.
