Who is required to live on campus?
You're required to live on campus if you're:
- under 21 years of age
- and have completed less than 60 semester credit hours.
Students are not required to live on campus during the summer terms.
If you wish to cancel your spring 2026 housing application or assignment, email reslife@sfasu.edu.
Applying for an off-campus permit
To request an off-campus permit, email reslife@sfasu.edu. You'll need to submit the application and any additional documents as requested by Residence Life.
If your off-campus permit is approved, you'll receive a notification through your SFA email account.
It is your responsibility to follow up on your application to see if it's been approved. If you do not have an off-campus permit in place by the first day of class for the semester, room and board charges will be added to your eBill account. These charges will continue to accrue until your off-campus request has been completed and approved. If your off-campus permit application is denied, you are required to live on campus.

Living in Nacogdoches
For those eligible to live off campus, the Nacogdoches Chamber of Commerce member directory serves as a great resource for exploring the variety of housing options.
