Important: This is a proposed public policy under management and legal review. It does not create a rental offer, reserve a room, or replace a signed lease. The first two residential wings are being prepared; opening dates, final pricing, and operational amenities remain subject to confirmation.
Residency eligibility
Residency depends on a completed application, satisfaction of the published rental criteria, room availability, and a signed housing agreement. Applicants must give accurate information and provide documentation reasonably necessary under consistent, lawful screening criteria.
Any student enrollment, minimum age, financial, guarantor, occupancy, or other eligibility requirements will be identified before a housing agreement is offered. All decisions must comply with applicable federal, Texas, and local law.
Warrens Legacy Hall is developing a student-oriented residential community with a proposed women-focused residential model. Any sex-specific admission or occupancy criteria remain under legal review and will not be treated as final until reviewed for compliance with applicable fair-housing law.
SFA off-campus eligibility and university relationship
Warrens Legacy Hall is independently owned and operated at 611 NW Stallings Drive in Nacogdoches. It is not an SFA residence hall and is not owned, sponsored, managed, or operated by Stephen F. Austin State University. Use of permitted university logos and images does not change that relationship.
As of fall 2026, SFA generally requires first-time, first-year students to live on campus unless they qualify for and receive an off-campus permit. SFA lists potential permit criteria such as living within 60 miles of campus, being at least 21 years old, marriage, or having a dependent. A student must obtain approval when required; applying for a room here does not replace the SFA permit process.
SFA has announced that returning students who are not first-time, first-year students generally no longer need an off-campus waiver. University eligibility may depend on individual status, and SFA alone determines the application of its policies. Students must verify their eligibility before committing to off-campus housing.

Financial aid, Pell Grants and housing expenses
Warrens Legacy Hall does not award, process, guarantee, or directly administer Pell Grants, FAFSA, SFA scholarships, federal student loans, or other university financial aid.
Financial aid is administered by the university and applicable aid programs. Depending on a student’s individual award and university account, a remaining refund may be available for eligible living expenses, including off-campus rent. Refunds are not guaranteed, may not cover the rent, and may not arrive when rent is due.
Applicants remain responsible for rent and other contractual obligations regardless of the source or timing of any aid. Students should discuss off-campus cost-of-attendance budgets, aid disbursement, and refunds directly with SFA Financial Aid before signing an agreement.
Authorized residents and occupancy
Only individuals approved under the housing agreement may occupy an assigned room. No subletting, transfer of occupancy, or additional move-in is permitted without management approval and any required written amendment.
Room occupancy limits and any related restrictions will be established in the final housing agreement in compliance with applicable law.
Privacy in bedrooms and shared facilities
Residents must respect privacy in bedrooms, private bathrooms, shower areas, and changing areas. Do not enter another resident’s room without consent or other lawful authorization. Do not photograph, film, record, or livestream anyone in bathrooms, showers, or changing areas, or in another person’s bedroom without permission.
Respect occupied shower rooms, closed doors, locks, and privacy partitions. Do not enter an occupied shower or changing compartment. Report defective locks or privacy concerns promptly to management.
Guests and visitors
Residents are responsible for their guests’ behavior and for ensuring guests follow community policies. Guests may not compromise another resident’s privacy, safety, access, or quiet enjoyment.
Visitor hours, check-in procedures, approved guest areas, and overnight-guest restrictions will appear in the final handbook. Emergency personnel, legally required support persons, and authorized service providers are subject to applicable access requirements.
Community conduct and quiet hours
Harassment, stalking, threats, violence, intimidation, theft, deliberate damage, and retaliation are prohibited. Treat fellow residents, staff, visitors, and neighbors respectfully.
Planned quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., subject to final handbook terms. Avoid roughhousing in rooms and hallways; use designated recreation areas appropriately. Keep hallways, exits, doors, and emergency equipment clear. Clean shared spaces after use and dispose of waste properly.
Do not drive nails into walls or make unauthorized alterations. Use approved removable attachments where permitted by the final handbook.
Building access, keys and security
Residents will be responsible for their room keys, parking credentials, and entry codes. Do not share credentials with unauthorized persons, prop open secure doors, or admit unknown visitors. Report lost keys or unauthorized entry promptly.
Controlled parking access, surveillance coverage, and on-site staffing are part of the residence plan. The operation, coverage, and availability of any specific measures will be confirmed before move-in. Security measures do not guarantee prevention of crime or injury. In an emergency, call 911.
Maintenance and management access
Report leaks, needed repairs, unsafe conditions, damaged locks, and safety-system problems promptly using the property’s published reporting process. Do not tamper with fire alarms, sprinklers, locks, or other safety equipment.
Management access to a resident’s room will follow applicable law and the signed housing agreement. Routine inspections, notice practices, and emergency access will be explained in the final resident handbook.
Any responsibility for damage or delayed reporting will be determined under the agreement and applicable law, not by an automatic fee or penalty solely because a report was made.
Reasonable accommodations and assistance animals
Applicants and residents may request reasonable accommodations or modifications, including requests related to assistance animals. Requests will be considered individually in accordance with applicable law; assistance animals will not automatically be classified as ordinary pets.
Please contact management to obtain a suitable method for any sensitive documentation. Do not send medical records, diagnoses, or similar private information through the general contact form. Retaliation for lawful accommodation requests is prohibited.
Amenities, utilities and dining
Only the amenities and included services stated in the final signed housing agreement are guaranteed. Public architectural renderings, illustrations, and future-plans photographs do not guarantee the completion or availability of specific facilities.
Electricity, heating, and cooling are planned to be included in the monthly residential rate; final charges and inclusions will appear in the agreement. An on-site cafeteria is envisioned for Phase Two. No opening date, meal service, or meal price has been confirmed, and meals are not included unless expressly stated in writing.
Outdoor recreation, gathering spaces, parking arrangements, mailbox systems, and other proposed amenities will be identified as operational only after completion and availability are confirmed.
Reporting concerns and protection from retaliation
Report privacy, safety, maintenance, conduct, or access concerns promptly to management, giving only the information needed to describe the issue. Reports will be handled with reasonable discretion, subject to investigation, safety, and legal obligations.
Retaliation against a person for making a good-faith report, exercising protected rights, or requesting an accommodation is prohibited.
Policy enforcement and resident rights
Management will evaluate reported violations consistently with the final agreement and applicable law. Notices, charges, termination, and eviction processes must comply with legal requirements.
Nothing in this policy authorizes an unlawful lockout, utility interruption, removal of personal property, discrimination, or waiver of nonwaivable tenant rights.
Priority list, applications and final agreements
Joining the Priority Interest List is an information request, not a room reservation, deposit, acceptance, lease, or guarantee of occupancy. An application likewise does not itself establish a tenancy.
Final room selection, rental rates, deposit terms (if any), guarantor requirements, opening dates, and move-in procedures will be communicated before any housing agreement is signed. Published website updates alone do not amend an existing signed agreement.
This page is a proposed policy for management and legal review. The final signed housing agreement and resident handbook, together with applicable law, control actual residency terms.
