UF — general campus-residency rule, 2026–27 admissions guide
UF’s retained 2026–27 admissions-guide excerpt states that the university does not require students to live on campus. A general live-on exemption is therefore not needed for the general student population.
General student policy only. It does not cancel a signed housing contract, waive an employment-specific live-in duty, or establish any individual release from an obligation. Housing availability is a separate question.
