Lubbock Christian University believes in the transformative impact of a residential campus community and maintains multiple on-campus housing venues to meet the variety of needs and preferences of its students.
Full-time, unmarried undergraduate students are generally required to live in LCU campus housing for their first three years of study at LCU.
Students have the option to live off-campus for the following reasons.
- The student is 21 years of age prior to the beginning of the fall semester.
- The student is married and/or has dependent children.
- The student is part-time, enrolled in 11 semester hours or less at LCU.
In certain circumstances students may qualify to petition to live off campus if one of the following stipulations is met:
- The student lives with parent or legal guardian in their primary residence within a 45-mile radius of the LCU campus. Students whose parents own property or home in Lubbock are not exempt from the residency requirement.
- The student has a significant medical/ADA condition submitted through disability services that would preclude the student from living on campus.
- Transfer Student: The student transferred to LCU with living arrangements already in place prior to enrollment.
The required petition form may be obtained from the Residence Life office. Petitions from current students must be submitted for the semester during which the student wishes to live off-campus. For new students matriculating to LCU, the petition submission deadline for the Fall semester is June 1, and December 1 for the Spring semester. The petition will be reviewed by the housing committee. Students should not sign a lease or make commitments prior to the decision of the housing committee.
For students who have completed two long semesters at LCU prior Fall 2022, please see your applicable policy.
After you have been accepted, you will fill out a housing form provided by your Admissions Advisor.
Part of the housing application includes a section on living condition preferences (i.e., time going to bed, type of music, hobbies) which is used to match students.
If you want to room with someone specific, both people must request each other on the housing form. Housing forms and Enrollment Deposit should be sent in for both students before June 1 to honor roommate preferences.
A large part of ResLife at LCU is building relationships within the community here. However, we do offer a limited number of single rooms to freshman. To guarantee your spot you will need to submit your housing form by June 1. Priority will be given first come first serve to those who turn in the enrollment deposit by June 1.
Roommate assignments will be sent out on June 1st, July 1st and August 1st.
It is sometimes necessary to make changes to your initial assignment due primarily to people canceling. We will notify you of changes as time permits.

Your experience as an LCU student is enhanced by living within community in on-campus housing, but sometimes a situation may call for a student to use off-campus housing. The Lubbock Apartment Association is a great resource for you to compare apartment complexes and opportunities.
