Housing Note: The Direction Program requires all accepted students to live in Hansen Leadership Hall during their first year at Doane. Hansen’s suite style housing places students in double rooms that share a common area with three to seven other students. Applicants must fill out regular housing paperwork in case they are not selected for Directions. Students may not transfer out of their Directions suite during their first year without consent of the Hansen Leadership Program Director. Such a move will generally be denied except for demonstrated health or safety needs. After their first year, Directions students must follow the standard housing process to acquire rooms for subsequent years on campus.
(Final GPA will be checked)
