The University of Saint Francis guarantees housing for 4 years for entering freshmen and 2-3 years for transfer students.

*It is recommended that single, undergraduate students who live with their parents in a driving radius less than 50 miles from the University of Saint Francis live in campus housing. The driving distance is confirmed using Google maps to determine whether the parent/guardian’s home is within the 50 mile driving radius.

This policy does not apply to students taking classes at Crown Point.
