A message about the 3 year residency requirement

by Betsy Chapman

The following message was sent from Residence Life and Housing to all students who are on-campus or studying abroad regarding Fall 2018 housing.

Wake Forest University has a six semester on-campus requirement before a student is eligible to live off campus. If you are in need of living off-campus, prior to completing your six semesters of on-campus housing, you will need to complete the Residence Life and Housing Petition to be Released form. The Petition to be Released form can be found through WIN>Virtual Campus>Residence Life and Housing>Housing Application beginning February 5, 2018. All request must be submitted by February 16, 2018.

Cancellation requests of your petition must be sent to  by February 22, 2018. Decision letters will be emailed to you by the end of the day on February 23, 2018.

Do not sign a lease off campus until you have heard back from Residence Life and Housing our decision regarding your off-campus petition. Rising seniors, who will have completed their six semesters of on-campus housing at the end of Spring 2018 do not need to submit a petition.  The Petition to be Released form is only for those students who are not eligible to live off-campus for Fall 2018.

If you have any questions regarding this process, please email Erin Wallen at  or call 336-758-5185.

Take care,

Erin Wallen
