Live On Residency Policy

All first and second year, and new transfer students live on campus. Please read CCA's Live On Residency Policy. CCA is committed to supporting the success of our students. Research consistently demonstrates that students who live on campus have higher rates of retention and graduation than students who live off campus.

Benefits of living on campus

1. Convenience is key: Convenience to campus and academics resources is everything. Living on campus provides you with more time in the studios, libraries, and direct access to other campus resources.
   
2. Succeed Academically: Studies show students who live on campus have a positive and satisfying college experience, earn higher grade point averages, and are more likely to graduate.
   
3. Build Community: live immersed in a community of artists/designers. You may request friends as roommates or meet new artists/designers in your residential community

Assignments

Students may request a roommate of their choice at the time of applying. Your roommate preferences will be collected in advance, in preparation for double occupancy to be allowed.
