Traditional Residential Housing
Since Milligan is a residential college (80% of our traditional students live on campus in one of six residence halls or student apartments), the Residence Halls and other campus housing options are the main source for community life and social involvement.

The Residence Hall staff works hard to maintain and promote all areas of student development within the residence halls. Each Residence Hall has a Resident Director (RD) and Resident Assistants (RA) on staff to help residents with academic, housing, and personal problems, and to handle all emergency situations relating to life in the Residence Hall.

To assist their efforts and to promote a thriving living environment, it is important for all residents to agree to live within certain guidelines. Each student is responsible for reading and being familiar with all college regulations, including those in the Milligan College Student Handbook and the College Catalog. Included below are several items that are often the topic of frequently asked questions about the Residence Halls. More information will be provided at check-in and registration.
 

Married Student Housing
A limited number of college-owned apartments are available for married students. Additional information and application forms may be obtained from Ann Easter in the Student Development Office, 423.461.8760. Click here to download an application.

Commuters
Milligan College would like you, as a commuter student, to feel at home on your campus. You are encouraged to participate in all aspects of college life. Some of the services available include a meal plan designed for those who are on campus only at certain times, study/lounge areas for those unable to return home between classes and representation on the Student Government Association (SGA).

Milligan provides opportunities for student development in the area of extracurricular organizations covering such interests as hiking, missions, political science, art, etc. You will receive a student handbook when you arrive on campus explaining each group and information on how to become involved. The Student Government Association plans a variety of spiritual and social events during the year that make student life interesting and fulfilling. Intramural athletics on campus include football, softball, volleyball, tennis, and basketball. Participation in these activities is open to all students throughout the year.

All students who plan to live off campus must 1) fulfill one of the following requirements and 2) must complete the enclosed Off Campus Living Request form and return it in the envelope provided. All students at Milligan College must live on campus unless they fulfill one of the following:

Have a completed Off Campus Request form on file before each fall semester stating one of the following:

1. married

2. living with a member of his/her immediate family (parents, grandparents, married brother or sister)

3. has completed 128 semester hours or 8 semesters of academic work

4. total class load for a given semester is less than 9 hours (those with less than 9 hours may live in the dorm if desired.)

5. a military veteran of more than one (1) year

6. is 23 years of age or older before the fall semester

Vehicles on Campus
The use of a vehicle on campus is a privilege extended to the college community. Each motorized vehicle must be registered by the Student Development Office at the time you register for classes or in the Student Development Office after registration. Please have the following information when you register: license tag/plate number, color, make, model, and year of your vehicle(s). $100 fine for not registering vehicle or displaying sticker.

Each vehicle driven/parked on campus must be registered. Operators of these vehicles are expected to learn and following the driving/parking policies on campus (outlined in the Student Handbook). Violators of these policies are subjecting themselves to significant fines and loss of vehicle privileges. Fines range from $20 to $100 and must be paid within seven days in the Student Development Office or an additional fine of $10 will be added and the fine will be placed on the student's account. Receiving more than ten tickets can result in the loss of driving privileges on campus.
