Residence Halls
Residence halls are available to non-married students who do not have children residing with them.
All full-time undergraduate students who do not have children residing with them and who attend class on the Harrogate campus must reside on campus unless:
- the student is at least 21 years of age, regardless of class ranking;
- the student is residing with a parent or legal guardian within 65 miles of campus; or
- the student is married and residing with their spouse.
All LMU student-athletes who receive athletic scholarships are required to live on campus.
There are several types of on-campus housing available at varying costs:
- Liles and West Halls - These residence halls, considered community housing, are traditional halls with centrally located community bathroom facilities.
- Lafrentz Poole Hall - This residence hall is a co-ed facility with individual private rooms and baths. The hall is primarily for upper-classmen.
- Pope, Mitchell and Dishner- These are co-ed facilities with 3 private bedrooms per unit (each bedroom has a private bathroom and a walk-in closet). A large living room/kitchen area is shared by the occupants.
- Shelton and Langley - These are co-ed facilities with 3 private bedrooms per unit (each bedroom has a private bathroom and a walk-in closet). A large living room/kitchen area is shared by the occupants.
- The Village (Burchett, McClelland, Norton, and Peters) - These are coed facilities housing 6 people in 3 bedrooms per unit (each bedroom has a bathroom and two walk-in closets). A large living room/kitchen area is shared by the occupants.
An application for housing or housing waiver must be completed by all applicants for admission (see Housing and Residence Life online).
Students should reference the Railsplitter Community Standards Guide for information, rules, and regulations applicable to students living in LMU housing.
All undergraduate students living in the residence halls are required to participate in one of the non-commuter LMU Meal Plans.
Completed housing application forms should be submitted electronically as per instructions. The required $200 reservation and damage deposit is payable in Student Financial Services. The deposit is refundable at the end of a student's residency if the student checks out in good order and has no room damages or key loss. Check-in and check-out procedures must be followed or a fee will be assessed.
Students may express a roommate preference in housing requests when applying for admission to the University. If the preference is mutually satisfactory with the roommate requested, an effort will be made to accommodate each request.
Food Service
Chartwells Higher Education Dining Services provides food services to LMU students. Every effort will be made to accommodate the student’s special dietary needs. Any student who must follow a specific diet may supply the Director of Food Services with a prescription diet from the student’s physician.
Meals are served in the dining hall according to the schedule found posted at the dining hall. Students wishing to eat during other times may purchase food at Chick-fil-A.
Points - Students may add points to any meal plan during the semester by depositing money in their account at Student Financial Services.
In the event that students are interested in changing their meal plans they have a 2-week grace period during the start of the semester to make changes. To change a meal plan, students should visit the Office of Residential Housing. The Office of Residential Housing can also add meal plans for commuter students and campus community members. The cost will be posted to the individual’s account.
Room and board rates are published each semester at Information and Policies Printables.
