Residential Life

Welcome to Residential Life at Talladega College. The Residential Life staff will strive to make your stay here exciting and enjoyable. To help us promote a healthy atmosphere conducive to learning, there are some community living rules and procedures that have been established. We expect all of our residents to demonstrate mutual respect for one another, the law, and for the necessity of orderly conduct.

Qualifications For On-Campus Housing

The application process for on-campus housing is separate from the admission application to the College. Students must be accepted to the College before housing will be assigned.

A student qualifies for on-campus housing upon completion of registration with a course schedule of 12 or more semester hours. Students who are not registered will not be permitted to move into the dormitory, eat in the cafeteria, or attend classes.

Residents who drop below full-time status (12 semester hours), or withdraw, must notify the Housing Office and follow the appropriate check out procedure.
