University Housing
Aligned with Rockhurst’s Mission and Core Values, the Office of Residence Life strives to foster a safe, inclusive, and nurturing residential environment. Through intentional programming, the support of live-in staff, and meaningful interactions with Residence Life, faculty, and staff, on-campus living offers students opportunities to build authentic connections, grow in independence and personal responsibility, nurture their faith and spirituality, and act in ways congruent with their values as they continue to develop as whole persons and servant leaders.
There are four types of residential facilities located on campus, including traditional residence halls, Townhouse Village (THV), Rock Row (Rockhurst Row houses), and Kateri Community (Intentional Living Community). Each provides a different form of group living. Generally, all incoming, first-time college students are housed in Corcoran or McGee (traditional-style residence halls).THV, Xavier-Loyola Hall, Rock Row, and Kateri Community are reserved for returning and upper-class students.
The Office of Residence Life will honor student preferences for housing assignments to the extent that, in the exercise of its discretion, doing so is reasonably practical. If space in the preferred location is not available, the Office of Residence Life will assign the student to an alternative residence. The student will be responsible for the prevailing rate of his or her assigned space.
