RESIDENCE LIFE

All single students under the age of 21 not staying with parents or guardians must live in one of the residence halls. Students desiring to live off campus must apply to the Director of Student Life and Engagement, Mrs. Mariana Galanos (mgalanos@dallas.edu).

New students must submit and complete Application for Housing.

Each air-conditioned room is designed for two or three students, with two-room suites sharing private bath and toilet facilities. The student furnishes linens, is responsible for the appearance and care of the room, and shares in the general housekeeping of the residence hall.

Televisions and mini-refrigerators are allowed. If available, private rooms require permission of the Residence Hall Coordinator and will be at added expense.

A residence hall reservation and damage deposit of $200 is required to reserve a room. This deposit is used to defray the cost of unusual damage caused by improper care of the residence hall. A student can expect a full refund of the housing deposit following their final exit from the dorm if no damage has been incurred.

Vaccination Requirement

To ensure a safe, healthy studying and living environment, and in accordance with Texas Department of Health Law (Chapter 21, Subchapter T, Sections Â§Â§21.612, 21.613, 21.614), DCC requires all new students under 22 years of age to receive a bacterial meningitis vaccination no later than 10 days prior to moving into a residence hall and/or attending on-campus classes. Every new resident under 22 years of age must provide proof of vaccination as part of the admissions process. No new resident will be permitted to move in without the required vaccination documentation.

Resident Age Restriction

The residence halls at Dallas Christian College foster a culture unique to young men and women. Accordingly, DCC does not permit students over 26 years of age to live in the residence halls.

Newland and Winslow Halls

Newland Hall houses single male residents, and Winslow Hall houses primarily single female residents. The downstairs lounges in the residence halls are open to both males and females, but the hallways and rooms are restricted to the appropriate gender only. All access points to the residence halls remain locked at all times (except during scheduled move-in periods). A Residence Hall Coordinator (RHC) resides in the building and provides leadership to the residents. Resident Assistants (RA) are also available to provide services to the residents.

Off-Campus Housing

Students under 21 years of age are required to reside on campus or with their parents/guardians. Students 21 years of age and older are permitted to reside off campus in accommodations of their choosing. If you reside off-campus, you will be expected to adhere to the code of conduct as described by the DCC Student Handbook.

Much of DCC’s institutional financial aid (not federal aid), is contingent upon your residency status – this includes Athletic Scholarships. If you move off campus, you may not be eligible for many of DCC’s grants or scholarships.
