Living on campus, and at the University Center, is an important aspect of a college education. Residence halls are more than just rooms or places to study and sleep.

Living on campus provides the opportunity to learn how to balance the academic and social aspects of life at DePaul University. RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLYING WITH POLICIES Living successfully on campus also requires balancing individual freedoms with respect for the rights of others. Negotiation and compromise are essential, and we encourage students to learn from one another. Living on campus is a privilege, and this privilege requires that all residential students and their guests behave appropriately. Residents are WELCOME expected to read and understand the housing and university policies and procedures in this guide. By choosing to live in a DePaul University residence hall, you agree to abide by all DePaul University policies, including the Code of Student Responsibility and the policies and procedures detailed in this Guide to Student Housing.

  • College During the Pandemic: Press Release
    EMBARGOED UNTIL: CONTACT: April 27, 2021 Lisa Sall [email protected] 630-408-1633 Despite challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, CPS grads maintained four-year college enrollment and slightly increased four-year college retention rates New strategies to adapt to students’ needs led to double-digit enrollment increases at some Illinois colleges Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and shift to virtual learning, the class of 2020 faced unprecedented challenges to enroll in and return to college in the fall of 2020. Nationally, four-year college enrollment for first-time freshmen declined around 4 percent in fall 2020. Comparatively, four-year college enrollment declined just 2 percent among the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) class of 2020, according to a new study, College During the Pandemic: Immediate Enrollment and Retention of CPS Graduates in Fall 2020, by the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research. Declines in two- year college enrollment were significantly greater, both nationally and among CPS graduates. Two-year college enrollment declined by 18 percent for CPS graduates, compared to a 13 percent drop in two-year college enrollment nationwide. In light of the national rates, there were assumptions that enrollment rates for CPS graduates would similarly decline, that two-year colleges would be more popular because they usually cost less, and that private colleges would be less affected because they have more resources to quickly adapt to virtual learning. “The data is showing that many of these assumptions were inaccurate,” said Jenny Nagaoka, Deputy Director, UChicago Consortium. “We’re actually seeing some very interesting outcomes in enrollment and retention at four-year colleges among CPS graduates.
