Programs for Students Living Off-Campus

Off-Campus Services provides programs and events specifically to support students living off-campus.

OC101:  An Orientation to Living Off Campus

Before you begin searching for off-campus housing, attend one of the OC101 sessions.  Learn valuable information about apartment searching, finding roommates, paying utilities, budgeting, signing a lease, and more.  Get all your questions about off-campus living answered.

Off-campus 101 sessions for fall 2013 will be held in September.  Dates will be posted later.

Lease Reviews

A lease is a legal document.  When you sign a lease you are legally obligated to abide by all the terms so it is important to understand everything it says.  But sometimes a reading a lease feels like reading a foreign language.  Staff from Student and Community Outreach and the Students' Attorney can review your lease and help you understand what it means before you sign it. You can make an appointment for a lease review by call (309) 438 - 5951.

Join Illinois State student volunteers every year during the fall and spring semesters to thank the community by performing requested acts of service, such as: raking leaves, painting, washing windows, and gardening at local homes and agencies.  For more information about Bring It Back to Normal, visit our event partner's website - Leadership and Service.
