All Boyce students are required to reside on campus in designated housing. Anyone desiring to move off campus must receive an exemption from Boyce Student Life. Exemptions are typically given to:

1. Married students
2. Students living with their parent(s) or legal guardian(s)
3. Students 22 years old or older on the first day of classes; and/or
4. Students who are both part-time (enrolled in less than 12 credit hours) and have completed at least 96 credit hours by the first day of classes. Exemptions are occasionally given to students who do not meet any of the above criteria but who are experiencing extreme hardships, but these exemptions are rare.

Students approved to live off-campus based on the student living with parent(s) or legal guardian(s) must remain in the home with the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) for the entirety of the semester. Similarly, students approved to live off-campus based on part-time status must remain part-time for the entirety of the semester. Students who violate the residency requirement may face disciplinary action (reprimand, probation, or withdrawal), a monetary fine, and be required to move on-campus or forfeit their student status.

Boyce Student Housing cannot guarantee room or roommate preferences. We try our best to honor requests and want to serve everyone in the best possible way. You may request your preferred room type and/or roommate on your housing application or contact Boyce Student Housing (boycestudentlife@sbts.edu) to update your preferences.

Typically, you can expect to receive a room assignment 2-3 weeks before move-in day.

Room assignments cannot be changed, but please email or visit our office with any serious concerns about your room assignment.

In order to maintain the safety and security of current residents as well as incoming residents, we are not able to leave keys for students after hours. You must visit Boyce Student life during regular business hours (M-F 8:30AM-4:30PM) to receive your key for your dorm room.

We do not have any rental storage areas available for residents

If you are a current resident living in the residential halls, you may live in the residence halls during the winter/summer breaks (pending availability), provided you also contract for the subsequent term as well. At the mid-point of each semester, all residence hall residents are required to submit a form to Boyce Student Life which will describe your plans for the winter/summer break and the next semester. This is where the option for winter/summer housing will be made available.

During the winter/summer breaks, no meal plan will be provided. Rates for staying during breaks are published during the semester and before the upcoming break. Availability for winter and summer housing may be limited depending on space constraints and demand for housing. Housing will be provided on a first come, first serve basis.

To check out of the residence halls at the end of the semester you must schedule a time slot with your Resident Advisor.

Students who check-out improperly will be fined. Improper check-out includes, but is not limited to: checking out and returning a key not assigned to you at the beginning of the semester; not returning your key to Boyce Student Life prior to leaving campus; checking out for someone else; not completing the check-out form prior to leaving campus; completing the check out form and returning your key but continuing to occupy your previously assigned room.

The meal plans vary according to your preference for the number of meal scans that can be used at the Dining Hall and the amount of Flex dollars at Founders’ Café or The Coffee Shop. Flex dollars can be spent dollar for dollar on a wide selection of sandwiches, salads, snacks, and beverages. Please visit the Dining Hall page found here in order to find out more information.

Though the number of meals does not work out to be 3 meals per day, most students have plenty of meals to last through the semester. On Sundays and Fall/Spring breaks, no meal plans are accepted, but Flex dollars may be used at Founders’ Café. Residence halls also have kitchens available for your convenience.

Yes! All Boyce students desiring more meals and/or Flex dollars have the option to upgrade their meal plan within the first few weeks of class. Please contact Boyce Student Life.

New students may select their meal plan upon receiving an offer for housing in the residence halls. Returning students who desire a different meal plan than the previous semester may contact Boyce Student Life to change their meal plan. Boyce Student Life will also verify a student’s meal plan choice when they check-in on move-in day.

Dining Services works hard to provide healthy and enjoyable meals to every student. They are able to accommodate a wide variety of allergies, including: gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, seafood, MSG, non-airborne nut, and certain oils. If you have one of these allergies, you simply need to complete the Dietary Accommodation Form. Once Dining Services receives that form, they will communicate a plan of care directly to you. If your allergy is not on the above list or if your situation deserves special consideration, you may apply to be exempt from the meal plan. In order to receive an exemption, you must complete the Meal Plan Exemption Form and provide medical documentation of your dietary needs or restrictions. Once the exemption form and documentation have been received, Boyce Student Life will consult with Dining Services to determine if they can make the appropriate accommodations or if an exemption is warranted.

Move-in guidelines can be found at the bottom of the Student Housing Page here.
