Students living in University housing are subject to the 2026-2027 Housing Terms and Conditions. The document establishes the requirements governing eligibility, housing assignments, occupancy, payments, room care, residence hall access, visitation, prohibited conduct, health and safety, cancellation, and other aspects of living in University housing.

The Housing Terms and Conditions supplement the housing agreement students accepted through eRezLife before moving into University housing. That agreement provides that housing terms and conditions may be revised and updated periodically.

Residents are responsible for following the current Housing Terms and Conditions, Community Standards & Student Rights policy, Student Code of Conduct, and other applicable University policies. Violations may result in referral through the applicable student conduct process and may result in removal from University housing following applicable procedures.

Kentucky State is committed to fostering an environment where ideas can be freely exchanged and challenged. This commitment to free speech and academic freedom is essential to our educational mission. The University does not restrict expression except when necessary to maintain campus safety and normal operations through reasonable, content-neutral time, place, and manner regulations.

Outdoor areas of campus are generally considered public forums for peaceful assembly, protests, and speeches. The University also upholds a policy of institutional neutrality on political and social issues, ensuring that Kentucky State serves as an open forum for intellectual exploration rather than an advocate for a particular ideology. No student will be required to affirm or reject a specific political or social viewpoint as a condition of their education.

For specific guidelines on expressive activities, posting materials, and inviting speakers, consult the Free Speech and Viewpoint Neutrality policies on the University website.

Kentucky State University has a zero-tolerance policy for hazing. Hazing is any act that endangers the mental or physical health of a student or causes embarrassment or humiliation for the purpose of initiation into any group or organization. Consent is not a defense. Hazing is a violation of University policy and state law.

Any student or organization found responsible for hazing will face severe disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion for individuals and loss of recognition for organizations.

If you see or experience hazing, report it immediately to the Division of Student Success or the Kentucky State University Police Department. The full Anti-Hazing Policy is available through the University website.
