Living in Community.

Students find meaningful fellowship in their dorms — their home away from home. With five male residence halls and four female residence halls to choose from, you’ll find the perfect place to form relationships, grow in faith, and learn with friends. Being a part of the OKWU family means making memories and forming friendships that will last a lifetime.

Residential Life Information and Policies

TRIPLE AND DOUBLE OCCUPANCY

Triple Occupancy

Every room on the OKWU campus (with the exception of Wesley Hall) has the potential to be a triple occupancy room. In this arrangement, students will share a bedroom with two direct roommates. If a student lives in a suite-style dormitory (Chapman or Colaw Hall) where two rooms are adjoined by a bathroom, then that student will have two direct roommates and three suitemates. More furniture – including a triple-bunk bed, an extra dresser, an extra desk, and chair — is then provided. 

Double Occupancy

Students will share a bedroom with one direct roommate. If a student lives in a suite-style dormitory (Chapman or Colaw Hall) where two rooms are adjoined by a bathroom, then that student will have one direct roommate and two suitemates (4 total in the suite). All triple occupancy rooms have the potential to be double occupancy if space permits, based upon enrollment and residence hall capacity.

Room Rates

Students living in a triple occupancy room will receive the triple occupancy rate. Students living in a double occupancy room will receive the double occupancy rate. If occupancy changes throughout the course of a school year, the student will be charged for their new respective occupancy, effective immediately. These housing charges will be prorated to the time of year that the occupancy changes. This policy remains consistent, regardless of the reasons for moving and/or consent of all residents involved.

Housing Policies

Housing and Roommate Notifications

Students who have completed the Housing Application and submitted the $150 enrollment commitment will be notified via email of their housing and roommate assignment. Roommate contact information will be provided if allowed.

Residence Hall Curfew

OKWU has a campus-wide curfew of 2 a.m. every night. Students are expected to be in their respective residence halls by this time. Doors will be locked by campus security at curfew.

Open House

Residence hall open house hours provide students with the opportunity to host guests of the opposite gender in their dorm room. Open house hours are Sundays from 1– 8 p.m., Tuesdays from 6– 10 p.m., and Thursdays from 6 – 10 p.m. All halls will be open for visitation during these times.

Off-Campus Housing

Oklahoma Wesleyan University is a residential campus. All unmarried students who are enrolled for twelve (12) or more credit hours of academic credit are required to live on campus. Commuter students living with parents and students 22 years of age or of senior status (90 credit hours or more) may apply to live off-campus.

Community Standards

Members of our community are encouraged and expected to live by standards that uphold a healthy lifestyle. We encourage all students to follow the scriptural admonition found in 1 Peter 1:16-17: “But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’”

In our attempt to encourage each student to understand and experience a community that honors the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the faculty, staff, and administration at OKWU will mentor and disciple all students to live a blameless or holy life. Through the balanced use of challenge and support (i.e. informal mentoring relationships and formal institutional discipline), all students will be encouraged to live a Christ-honoring lifestyle. In keeping with the distinctive Christian nature of our community, OKWU establishes the following lifestyle expectations and standards.

The OKWU Community Standards include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • All students comply with university policies as a matter of respect for the community.
  • All students demonstrate mutual respect and courtesy to one another, faculty, and staff. Physical abuse, verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, coercion, and/or other conduct that threatens or endangers the health and safety of any person will not be tolerated.
  • OKWU is committed to maintaining a drug- and alcohol-free community. Being under the influence of, in the presence of, using, possessing or distributing alcohol, illegal drugs, or possessing drug paraphernalia, on or off-campus, is a violation of these standards. Failure to comply with these policies will result in police involvement as well as university sanctions.
  • OKWU affirms that sexual relationships are designed by God to be expressed solely within a marriage between a husband and wife.
