Housing & Residence Life and COVID-19
We are committed to your health and well-being amidst COVID-19. To this end we are currently working to provide a safe living and learning experience for the 2022-23 academic year. We will be adhering to guidance from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Pennsylvania Department of Health. We will be open at full occupancy this fall. For more information on COVID-19 please view the College FAQ page. To be successful in mitigating the spread of COVID-19, we need your help.
- We encourage you to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
- As you are planning for the 2022-2023 academic year we ask that you bring facial coverings, a thermometer, hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes, and other supplies to help mitigate the spread.
- We invite you to engage your family in dialog around a plan should you become symptomatic, test positive, or become exposed to someone exhibiting symptoms or tests positive.
- Communicate with your roommate(s) about expectations you will hold one another to as you help prevent the spread of germs on-campus.
- Once you get to campus uphold and hold accountable others to the community compact to which we all will be responsible.
Residential Campus Information
Housing Requirements
Elizabethtown College is a residential college, meaning students agree to live on-campus all four-years. The College views residential life as an important part of a student‘s personal growth. Any exception to the Housing Agreement must be approved in writing by Housing & Residence Life. Housing is guaranteed for no more than eight (8) consecutive semesters after matriculation. Current residential students who have taken an approved medical withdrawal or leave of absence will be guaranteed housing upon re-entry within the two semesters following the medical withdraw or leave of absence. If a student is approved to be commuting or residing off campus, they are not guaranteed College housing. Part-time and graduate students will not be offered housing. Students are responsible for knowing and upholding expectations, policies and community standards in the Housing Agreement and the Student Handbook.
Housing Agreement
Students entering Elizabethtown College must sign a College Housing Agreement to reserve a room in one of our residential communities. This agreement reserves space for the student and outlines the responsibilities of both the College and the student to safeguard the rights of all residents. The agreement is for room space without regard to designated residential facilities or specific rooms.
A student may not reserve housing without signing a Housing Agreement or, in the case of a returning student, without registering for the following semester.
Housing agreements are binding throughout a student’s undergraduate enrollment at Elizabethtown College.
Admitted students will receive access to their housing agreement upon deposit through their applicant portal. Returning students may request their agreement by emailing reslife@etown.edu.
