Campus Room and Board
Residence halls at the University of Jamestown provide students with a living/learning environment that is an integral part of the total educational purpose of the university. The residence halls provide educational support services to the university by creating and maintaining a guided, group living experience for the personal, scholarship, and social improvement of the individual resident. Students with circumstances requiring additional consideration or accommodations should contact the Director of Residence Life.
All full-time University of Jamestown undergraduate students are encouraged to live on campus. Students wishing to live off of campus or opt out of the meal plan will have their total institutional scholarship package prorated. Proration calculations can be reviewed with the Office of Financial Aid. Students must submit the Campus Room and Board Scholarship Proration Application to the Vice President for Student Affairs for approval.

Residence Hall Regulations
All new students receive an email copy of the Student Handbook each fall. The Student Handbook is also available in the Office of Student Affairs or on the University web site. All residence hall regulations are based on an attempt to balance the concern for the individual with the concern for the community. Each residence hall is staffed by a resident director and/or assistant resident director who oversee general residence hall living and who work closely with the resident assistants to develop optimum living conditions for all residents.
