DIRECT ANSWER

UGA requires undergraduate first-year students to live on campus for their first year unless they qualify for an approved exemption such as the university’s local-residency exception.

  • Use the current academic-year UGA requirement.
  • A local residence can support an exemption only when it meets UGA’s criteria.
  • Get the exemption decision before signing private housing.

At UGA, undergraduate first-year students are generally required to live on campus for the first year. If you believe you qualify for a local or other exemption, complete the university process and obtain approval before committing to an off-campus lease.
