Married Housing

Western allows students who are married to live together on campus as long as the following criteria are met:

• Students must provide official documentation showing they are legally married before they are assigned to live in the same unit.
• At least one of the spouses must be a student enrolled in at least 1 credit hour during the Fall and Spring semesters.
• At least one of the spouses pays the $150 housing deposit, and the other will also need to pay the housing deposit if planning to also be a student.
• In the event a 1-bedroom apartment is not available, other room style options will be offered to the couple.
• If only one spouse is a student, the entire cost of the room will be charged to the account of that spouse.  If both spouses are a student, half the cost of the room will be charged to the account of each spouse.
• If a married couple would like to request to have the meal plan requirement waived, they will need to reach out to the Dean of Students Office to make that request.
• If the couple wishes to provide their own bed, it will be allowed and the college’s beds will be put in storage. Waterbeds are not allowed. No other college furniture will be allowed to be moved out of the room.
• Married couples will not be allowed to request or be assigned additional roommates.
• All other housing rules & regulations also apply
