It is recommended that full-time new students live in an APU residence. Because of limited space, on-campus preference is given to single, full-time undergraduates. Students in the residence halls are required to choose from a variety of meal plans.
Residents must respect and comply with lifestyle expectations and all university and Residence Life policies and procedures. Residents are also held accountable to local, community, state, and federal authorities.
Each resident is responsible for reading and adhering to the rules and regulations outlined in the current APU Student Handbook as well as those in the On-Campus Residence Life Contract and catalog. Residents will be held accountable for their guests' actions.
APU's on-campus residence life program has several distinctive features:
It offers undergraduate students many different types of living environments, including traditional residence halls and self-contained apartments. Several of the on-campus living communities are accessible to students with disabilities.
Each living area strives to provide living-learning programs based on the assessed needs of those residents.
Each residence community is managed by a residence director (RD) who serves as a liaison between residents and the university community. RDs are trained to assist students in making positive choices that assure success in their college experiences.
Each subcommunity is directed by a residence advisor (RA) who is available as a counselor and resource. The RA also assists in orienting students to the living area, campus, and assists in the planning of diverse programs meant to promote a sense of community and cooperation. No other on-campus residential setting offers students the variety and quality of life experiences as APU.
Living and Learning
Living on campus at APU provides the ultimate college experience.
Students are able to meet people of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and develop lifelong friendships. Learning relational skills, with the help of roommates, RAs, and friends, provides a foundation for living and relating.
We are excited that you are interested in becoming a vital part of our community at APU!
