Northeastern Residence Life

Residence Life

Northeastern strives to make college life a positive and knowledge building experience!

Northeastern’s residence halls provide the opportunity for students to live in an academic-based community. As the largest residential two-year college campus in Colorado, the chances to meet new people are endless. Living on campus allows students to build new friendships, gain a strong support system during their college career (and often after college as well), and live close to classes and resources available on campus.

The Residence Life program is committed to providing each resident with a living-learning environment that promotes personal, academic and social growth within a safe, well maintained and caring community.

Fall 2025 New Student Move-In Day

Residence halls will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 14th, 2025.

Fall 2025 Returning Student Move-In Day

Residence halls will be open from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, August 15th, 2025.

Check-in will be at the tent located in front of the student's assigned dorm on move-in days.

First-Year Student Housing Policy

All first-year students with less than 30 semester credit hours earned are required to live in the residence halls for two semesters and/or until 30 semester credits are earned. Exemptions to this policy are first-year students who are:

  1. Over twenty-one years of age.
  2. Married.
  3. Have minor dependent children.
  4. Commuting to Northeastern from a parent/guardian's residence in a 60-mile radius.
  5. Serving in the military.

Freshman students will be required to contract housing for two semesters. Students who do not meet the exemptions above and who choose to live off campus will be charged one half of a semester standard room/board rate.

As a student, I have loved how much the teachers care about you. They want you to succeed in whatever you want to do and are always willing to help. It makes it much easier to cope with change and classes that aren't your strong suit.

I came to NJC on a wrestling scholarship. I had other opportunities from various universities, but this matched my price point for school.

I choose NJC for its affordability and its rather informal education style. Because it is a small college you have more one on one opportunities with your instructors.
