Housing Information

"Housing information for the 2012-2013 Academic year will be mailed out to admitted students beginning the first week of April and will continue to be mailed every two weeks after that."

Residence halls are more than just a place to sleep. Living on campus is not about the building but, about the relationships you will build while living with us.

Life in a residence hall is about building new relationships and expanding your knowledge. It is getting to know people from different backgrounds and how to live in a community with others. Essentially, it is about learning how to care about those with whom you live.

Approximately 150 students live on-campus at NCTA in two traditional residence halls, and one suite-style complex. The Office of Residence Life coordinates all campus housing and is dedicated to maintaining an environment conducive to educational and personal development.

Each residence hall facility is supervised by the Residence Life Manager and is staffed by Resident Advisors who live on each floor. All residence halls feature computer labs with access to the NCTA computer network along with wireless internet, lounges, kitchenettes, laundry facilities, quiet study areas, and recreational space. All rooms are DISH TV ready and provided with basic furnishings.

A variety of specific living environment options are available to students, including double or single rooms, co-ed by wing floors, Smoking is not allowed in the residence halls, however an outside area is designated for smoking.

The University Of Nebraska - Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture requires all unmarried students with less than 24 credit hours of post-secondary education who are under the age of 21 on the first day of classes for the fall semester must live in the residence halls for the entire academic year. This residency requirement serves important educational and developmental purposes. Students prosper in stable living environments that are close to academic resources and organized student activities that promote social interaction and exposure to new and diverse life experiences, and that afford supervision, counseling, and other assistance as may be needed.

On-campus residency provides unparalleled opportunities for multi-dimensional student development, and is part-and-parcel of NCTA’s broad educational program. The Housing Contract Exemption Policy is strictly enforced. However, some students may have living requirements that NCTA cannot accommodate on campus.

Four categories of exemptions have been established to accommodate such exceptional circumstances.
(a) The student is living with her/his parents or legal guardians and commuting from within 45 miles from campus.
(b) The student is 21 years old or older on the first class day of fall semester.
(c) The student is married, a single parent, or has a documented medical/mental health condition which makes it impractical to meet the freshman housing requirement, assuming that the student’s needs cannot be accommodated on campus.
(d) The student will be living with a close relative (grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother, sister) provided the relative is over the age of 21 years of age and the residence is within 45 miles of the NCTA Campus.
