Living on Campus – Submit Your Housing Request

Living on campus is a once in a life-time opportunity to build strong bonds and lasting friendships within the community. Submit your Housing Request after you’ve officially reserved your space in the class and no later than June 1. Requests made after June 1 are granted on a space available basis. Housing assignments are mailed in early July to students who have officially reserved their space in the class.

All new students under the age of 21 are required to live on campus for their first two years at Meredith unless commuting from the home of their parents. Browse Residence Life webpages, or reach out to reslife@meredith.edu to learn more.

To request to commute while living in the home of parents or an approved guardian, submit the First Year Student Off-Campus Housing Request or Transfer Student Housing Request; all requests must be approved by the Dean of Students.

Disability Services – Voluntary Disability Disclosure & Request for Accommodation

Meredith College values the diversity of its community and promotes inclusivity for all students. We are committed to creating an accessible community and providing reasonable accommodations to qualified students while respecting their right to confidentiality and choosing whether or not to disclose a disability and accommodation needs. In a college setting, the student is responsible for initiating the eligibility process and requesting accommodations. New students who wish to submit a voluntary disability disclosure and request an accommodation must access the Meredith College Student Wellness Portal. Should you have questions, please email disabilityservices@meredith.edu.

Scholarships and Financial Assistance

Meredith’s Office of Financial Assistance coordinates over $50 million annually in merit and need-based awards. Generous merit scholarships and tuition grants are an important part of each student’s aid package. All students are encouraged to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to ensure access to Meredith, state, and federal assistance options.
