During regular academic periods (fall semester, Winter Study, spring semester), all currently-enrolled Williams students are required to reside in campus-owned student housing. Exceptions:
- A certain number of seniors (up to a cap – currently 125) may request to be released from the residency requirement; the process for this takes place in the fall of the student’s junior year.
- Married students who wish to have a non-student spouse in residence with them, may request to be released from the residency requirement by submitting a Housing Appeal and showing legal proof of the marriage – see the Housing for Married Students policy below.
- Students who wish to have their child or children in residence with them, may request to be released from the residency requirement by submitting a Housing Appeal – see the Housing for Students with Children policy below.
- Students who are 23 or older as of the start of the fall semester, may request to be released from the residency requirement by submitting a Housing Appeal. See the Non-Traditional-Age Students & Housing policy below.
- Other students who believe they have extenuating circumstances that would necessitate their living off-campus, may request to be released from the residency requirement by submitting a Housing Appeal.
- Students who are on a study-away program are not allowed to reside in campus housing during the term(s) they are studying away.
