Residence Life Overview

The Residence Life Program is committed to providing a safe and healthy living environment that is supportive of a student’s academic pursuits while contributing to personal growth.

Our main campus is located in the four corners area nestled in the beautiful Chuska Mountain Range in rural Northeastern Arizona. Diné College provides nine residential halls, accommodating a maximum of 251 vacancies per semester for students at the main campus in Tsaile. Unfortunately, there are no housing accommodations for our community campuses at this time. Only Full-time students committed to 12-credits or more per semester during the Fall/Spring Semesters and students committed to 6-credit hours or more during the Summer Sessions are eligible to apply for student housing.
