Exemptions
A&M-Texarkana campus has a one-year live on requirement for new first time in college students. Once you have lived in BLV for one year, you are not required to live on campus any longer. All exemptions to the University housing requirement must be documented and approved by the Office of Residence Life. Students who live within 45 miles of campus are exempt from living in Bringle Lake Village. Exemption forms for students who do not meet either of these requirements are available below.
Off-Campus Housing Exemption forms, and Meal Plan Exemption forms, are due:
- Fall semester by July 1
- November 1 each year
All submitted forms will be sent to the Exemption Committee and will have an answer back to the student via AceMail by August 1st (Fall Semester) and December 15th (Spring Semester). It is advised that applicants submit a one-page letter to the committee explaining their reasoning for an exemption and any documentation to support the exemption, including but not limited to: medical statements, financial statements (without personal and account information listed), letters from current supervisors, etc. Any questions can be directed to the Residence Life Coordinator at housing@tamut.edu.
