Residence Life and Housing
North Park maintains residence halls and apartments on campus that accommodate the undergraduate student body. All first-year, second-year, and third-year students who are not living with their parents or guardian within 30 miles of campus are required to live on the North Park campus. Residents requesting university housing must complete a North Park University housing application and contract. The contract implies that unless the University is advised differently, the student plans to be a resident for his/her first, second, and third academic years until he/she is released from the housing contract based on the Housing Terms and Conditions. Termination of the contract must be in writing prior to the term in question. Please see the room and board refund schedule for adjustments made to housing charges after the semester is under way.
All student housing is under the direction of the Director of Residence Life and Housing. The size of our on-campus population is ideal for building relationships and receiving personalized attention from an experienced residence life live-in staff. North Park has three full-time professional staff members. Each professional staff member resides in the residence hall and is assisted by trained student Resident Assistants (RA). The goal for Residence Life and Housing is to create an environment that allows for personal growth and an atmosphere that enhances the learning process. The Residence Life and Housing staff utilizes educational and social programs to achieve these goals.
All residence halls provide on-site laundry facilities and security, including 24-hour front desk service. Furnishings in the residence halls include beds, desks, chairs, dressers, and mini blinds. Visitation hours are maintained in each living area. All visitors must sign in and out at the front reception desk of each hall. University apartments do not have a desk staff but are monitored by Campus Safety. University apartments are furnished with beds and kitchen appliances.
North Park offers several residence hall and apartment choices for our students, and three different meal plans. Fourth-year students have the first option for university apartments. The Office of Residence Life and Housing coordinates all meal plan requests and housing applications and contracts.
