Non-traditional Student Housing

Opening in Winter 2025, Bellevue University is proud to announce a new Non-traditional Student Housing complex as an initiative to support the needs of our diverse local student population on campus. This new complex will provide the same supportive environment as our traditional housing, but with some differences in room options and amenities to meet the needs of non-traditional students.

Non-traditional Student Housing Eligibility

A limited number of units are available for on campus students who meet some of the traditional Student Housing eligibility but may have situations which prohibit them from traditional campus living. Subject to the priority placement criteria in the Student Housing Handbook, non-traditional housing units may be available and prioritized for the following students:

1. Student who meets the primary or secondary priority population criteria with no more than two child dependents. Child dependents must be under age 12 at time of move in/renewal, or;
2. Married student who meets primary or secondary priority population criteria, or;
3. Otherwise meets secondary priority population age of 25-29; criteria designed to meet the stated mission of providing safe and reasonable living accommodations for students living away from home, particularly those with limited experience living independently in order to promote an environment conducive to growth, learning, and successful transition to independent adult students..
