Georgia Gwinnett College has established a residence policy for freshmen and transfer students who transfer in less than 30 semester hours. This policy requires such students to live in capus housing. In addition, this policy is designed to enrich your education, assist in fostering relationships on campus with other students, faculty and staff, and enhance your academic success.

The campus residence requirement does not apply to you if you:

• You reach the age of 21 prior to the first day of classes of your first term of enrollment,
• You are married, divorced, have legal dependents or are the sole caregiver,
• You can show independent financial status, or
• You have demonstrated unique hardship.

Any request for an exemption must be made to the Student Appeals Committee via the online appeals form (www.ggc.edu/appeals) at least one month prior to the start of the semester in which you intend to enroll. Each request must be fully documented, reviewed and is subject to approval at the sole discretion of the College.
