Housing at Point University is provided on a semester (16-week segments) basis. Students enrolled full-time at Point University are required to live in campus housing until they complete 60 credit hours of study. Exceptions to this policy are granted to students who are living at home with parents or legal guardians within 50 miles of the campus of Point University, are married, have children or are over the age of 26. Students who transfer to Point University are required to live in campus housing unless they have earned 60 credit hours from their previous institution. Point University believes that living in the community created by the University is a very important part of the learning experience. It is a time for students to develop independence in the context of a Christian community where direction, counsel and oversight are provided. For students participating in athletics, on-campus housing provides multiple opportunities for team development. Point University provides on-campus housing opportunities for tutoring, recreation, social interaction and spiritual formation. We believe that these activities reflect important ingredients of what a Christian college experience should be.

Students are encouraged to carry personal property insurance. In many cases, your parents’ or guardians’ homeowner’s insurance will cover belongings in a residential living area. It would be prudent to check to be sure of your exact coverage. If you do not have coverage through a parent or guardian’s homeowner’s policy, we encourage you to purchase renter’s insurance, available at minimal expense from all major insurance providers.
