Room capacity varies by housing type:

• Apartments: four beds
• Shrubsole: eleven beds
• Graduate Housing: nine beds per house
• Cedar Park: married couples only

Yes. If eligible, students may continue to remain in their current Student Communities with pre-selection.  

Cedar Park is designated for married student housing. To apply, couples must be engaged with a confirmed wedding date and complete the standard Housing Application and the Married Student Housing Form. One spouse must be enrolled at Cedarville University. 

There are 21 units available, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Eligible applicants who do not secure a unit will be placed on a waiting list. A couple must be married when a unit becomes available to occupy the space, or they will stay on the waiting list and another married couple will occupy the available space.  

Only graduate students may apply for South House (female students) or Harriman house (male students), each offering nine single rooms per house. Complete the standard Housing Application and submit the Graduate Housing Application Form.

Assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis; additional applicants will be placed on a waiting list.

• Graduate students under age 26 may live in residence halls or Student Communities housing.
• Graduate students ages 26–29 may live in Student Communities housing.
• Graduate students ages 30 or older may live in Harriman Hall/South Hall (if single) or Cedar Park (if married).

If Student Communities housing is full, students should explore residence hall options. Overflow or triple-room arrangements will not be available in Student Communities. 

Living on campus in a residence hall is one of the most impactful parts of your Cedarville experience. All first-year freshman students are required to live in the residence halls.
