Guide to Campus Living
The Guide to Campus Living is a residence life handbook that includes important housing policies, procedures, and general information. Students are also encouraged to consult the College Catalog and the Student Code of Conduct for additional information regarding academic policies and regulations and student conduct expectations. This guide is a supplement to the binding housing agreement, which a student signs and agrees to when applying for campus housing.

First-Year Residency Exemption
Any first-year student who is not a permanent resident of Wise County or the City of Norton wishing to be exempted from the residency requirement must submit the Residency Exemption Form, along with a completed Application for Campus Housing through the housing portal. Exemption requests are reviewed by the Housing Appeals Committee and a recommendation is made to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs for a final decision. Students are notified in writing of the decision, usually through email.
