Family Student Housing

Family Student Housing

WNMU maintains apartments for married students and for family groups. To be eligible for family student housing, at least one member of the household must be a full-time student. If married, both student and spouse must occupy the apartment; if a single parent, minor children must occupy the apartment with the parent/student. This requirement must be maintained throughout the entire rental period. Students violating this eligibility requirement are subject to eviction. All family student housing units are under the direct supervision of the Director of Residence Life.

Application

Applications for family student housing may be obtained through the Admissions Office or the Residence Life Office. Applications must be accompanied by:

• a deposit/application fee of $150.00, of which $25.00 is a non-refundable application fee, and $125.00 is a security deposit,
• a signed contract, a copy of a marriage certificate or, in the case of single parents,
• a copy of the birth certificate for each child, as well as documentation confirming full-time custody.

All residence Life applications are processed after official admittance to WNMU.

Resident Responsibility

• Students are encouraged to carry their own personal property insurance, as neither WNMU nor the State of New Mexico will assume responsibility to acquire or extend family insurance to cover their belongings, if such coverage is desired.
• WNMU prohibits the keeping of firearms and pets in residence halls and family student housing.
• WNMU reserves the right to inspect the rooms in any residence halls or apartment at any time for health and other reasons

WNMU shall assume no responsibility for theft, destruction, or loss of money, valuables, or other personal property belonging to or in the custody of the student for any cause whatsoever, whether such losses occur in the student’s room, in storage rooms, in public areas, elsewhere in the halls, or in baggage handling related to shipment or storage.
