International Student Live-On Requirement
All international students enrolled at EvCC are required to live in student housing unless and until they are granted an exemption from the Director of Student Housing or designee. Exemptions may be granted under one or more of the following conditions:
- Has successfully completed three quarters at Everett Community College and has a 2.7 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA)
- Will be living with a parent/legal guardian
- Is married or in a registered domestic partnership/civil union

- Has specific living arrangements stipulated by their respective government program or college memorandum of understanding (MOU)
- Has a documented disability that requires off campus accommodation
- Is unable to live in student housing due to space limitations as determined by the college
All requests must be submitted using the designated exemption request form. Appropriate documentation which demonstrates the authenticity of the circumstances for which you are requesting an exemption must be submitted along with the exemption form. Please allow 7-10 business days for a response to your request.
Incoming international students must apply for housing before submitting an exemption request form, or their form may not be processed.
Current housing residents must be up to date with rent payments and have a valid contract for the quarter they are requesting an exemption for in order for their request to be processed. The exemption request must be submitted by the contract renewal deadline for the quarter requested (two weeks prior to the move out deadline for the previous quarter) Example: To be eligible for a live on exemption for Spring 2025, a current resident must submit their request no later than two weeks before the move out deadline for the Winter 2025 quarter. They must have also already renewed their contract for Spring 2025 if applicable.
