    Housing Exemption Form

    RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT
    As a residential campus, Presbyterian College believes that living on campus provides essential opportunities for personal growth, development, and education. Residence Life is committed to maintaining an environment on campus that fosters a student’s intellectual pursuits and provides opportunities for social development in the living environment. All full-time PC students are required to live on campus unless they are:
    • Residing with parent or legal guardian at their primary place of residence within 40 miles driving distance of 503 S. Broad St., Clinton, SC 29325. The student must provide documentation that the address given is the bona fide primary place of residence of the parents or guardians. “Primary place of residence” is defined as the one place where an owner of the property has his/her true, fixed, and permanent home and it shall continue as a primary place of residence until another primary place of residence is established. If the parents or legal guardians rent, and otherwise do not own their primary place of residence, copies of leases reflecting the necessary continuous period of occupancy must be provided. Further documentation may be required at the discretion of the Residential Life staff.
    • Legally married (must provide documentation)
    • Parents of dependent children (must provide documentation)
    • Age 25 or older during the academic year for which the exemption is requested
    • Transferring to PC with an associate’s degree or greater and are at least two years post-graduation from high school
    • Information about the housing accommodations process and all related forms are available at https://www.presby.edu/academics/academic-resources-support/accommodations-for-disabilities/  Presbyterian College is committed to making housing accommodations in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991 and amended in 2008 (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Fair Housing Act of 1988 and the policies of the PC Academic Success Office .  Be aware that not every medical condition may rise to the level of severity necessary for a housing accommodation.  Residence Life makes accommodations based on the recommendations of the Disability Services Coordinator who reviews the information during the accommodation process.  If you have further questions, you may email accommodations@presby.edu or reslife@presby.edu for more information. Do not complete this form.

    Specific documentation may be requested by the Residence Life Office to validate exemption requests. Students who receive permission to live off campus may not reside on Calvert Avenue, or within one block of Calvert Avenue. This limitation does not apply to a student who commutes daily from their legal guardian’s residence.

    At all times, the College reserves the absolute right to revoke a student’s off-campus living privilege and require them to return to campus housing. Normally, such revocation will occur only if a student’s behavior off campus is disruptive and/or in violation of College policies. If the information presented in this form or the accompanying documentation is determined to be untrue, applicable room and board rates may be placed on a student’s account for up to the full amount of applicable room and board charges for the academic year.

    By signing below, I affirm that I understand the Presbyterian College Residency Requirement. Furthermore, I am communicating my intent to forfeit any request to be assigned to a space in a residential facility. I understand that if I am approved to reside at my parent or legal guardian’s residence, but I am later found to be living elsewhere, the College reserves the right to require me to move back on campus, reinstate applicable room and board charges, and refer me to the Student Conduct process. I understand that I must provide my off-campus address if I am approved for a housing exemption for a reason other than residing with parents.

    Mark Fox '08

    Director of Admission

    Hometown: Greenwood, SC

    PC Background: Outside of a short hiatus in 2009, I have been a member of the PC community since 2004.

    What’s your favorite PC memory? I have seen the College add sports, buildings, and programs. Plus, I was even present for the rare complete solar eclipse. I have experienced many big moments at PC, but one of my favorites was donning the Scotty the Scotsman costume and walking through campus, high-fiving students.

    What is the coolest thing you have ever done? Does staying up past 9 p.m. count?

    If there was a book about your life, what would the title be? Coffee. It’s what’s for breakfast.

    What’s your hidden talent? Analogies.

    When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? American Gladiator. Dallas Cowboy. Paleontologist.

    What’s your best advice for students during their college search? Relax. There are more than 5,000 colleges and universities in the United States, and I guarantee that you will be admitted and love more than one of them.


    Wasim Gendi '17

    Admission Counselor

    Hometown: Cairo, Egypt / Augusta, Georgia

    PC Background: I was a Political Science and French double major with a minor in International Studies. I was the president of French Club during my sophomore, junior and senior years of college, and the president of Fellowship of Christian Athletes my senior year. Also, I was a French tutor all 4 years, worked in the library all 4 years, studied abroad in Paris for a semester, and interned at PC’s Office of International Programs.

    What’s your favorite PC memory? That’s a tough one. One of my favorites is sitting on the floor with my best friends, eating our very first home-cooked meal together, and making each other laugh ‘till we cried.

    What is the coolest thing you have ever done? I went ice-skating ON the Eiffel Tower when I was studying abroad in Paris.

    If there was a book about your life, what would the title be? “It’s like Wassup but Wasim – A Guide to the Unexplainable Word Choices of Wasim Gendi.” I apparently say many things that don’t make sense.

    What’s your best advice for students during their college search? Be yourself. Don’t write down what you think colleges want you to be. Be open and honest about who you are and what you believe in. Colleges want to get to know you as a person, not just as a test-taker.


    Will Gribble

    Director of Enrollment Marketing

    Hometown: St. Augustine, FL

    PC Background: An English and a political science major, a two-year choir president, a member of Cantare and the PC Chamber Choir, a Stirling, an intramural supervisor, and a member of Big Brothers Big Sisters program with Thornwell — I was a busy Blue Hose but loved every minute of it.

    What’s your favorite PC memory? Class on the front steps of Neville.

    What is your hidden talent? Believe it or not, I’m a pretty good cook. You haven’t lived until you’ve tried my Saturday breakfast.

    Favorite TV show? The Office takes the top spot for my favorite comedy. Game of Thrones is my current number one for drama, but Breaking Bad and Mad Men are a close second and third.

    When you were a kid, who did you wanna be when you grew up? Michael “The GOAT” Jordan.

     unnamed

    If there was a book about your life, what would it be titled? They Call Me “The Sock Guy.”

    What’s your best advice for students during their college search? Whether it’s a professor, a staff member, a current student, or an alumnus or alumna, be sure to interact with as many people as you can throughout your college search. Hearing their stories will certainly help guide you to your collegiate home.


    Britt Shisler

    Admission Counselor

    Hometown: Jamestown, NC

    Why PC? Higher education has always been important to me. I received my BA in English from a small private liberal arts college, where the importance and value of a liberal arts education were evident. During my job search, I fell in love with PC and its values, morals, and traditions. I felt at home from the moment I stepped on campus.

    Favorite Netflix show? Friday Night Lights. I am a HUGE football fan. I get goosebumps thinking about football season and all that it encompasses.

    Favorite country you have visited? In college, I was afforded the opportunity to travel to several countries. I will tell you, Berlin, Germany is by far my favorite place I have visited, followed closely by London, England. Studying abroad in college gives you the hands-on experience, takes you outside the textbook, and exposes you to many different cultures. I encourage you to spend time traveling our beautiful world if you are given the opportunity.

    What’s your best advice for students during their college search? Visit several different colleges and universities to get a feel for the uniqueness of each campus. Step outside the box and look for hidden, unique opportunities. Be sure to seek a place that will provide a liberal arts education that develops critical thinkers and pushes them from a fixed-mindset to a growth-mindset. Also, keep an open mind as you tour the campus, and you will find that special place meant just for you.
