TCNJ offers substance free housing for students who are interested in this living option. A substance-free environment is defined as one where the following is prohibited: all use of tobacco (including hookah, e-cigs, pipes, cigars and cigarettes), use and possession of alcohol, use of illegal drugs (including marijuana) or the misuse/abuse of prescription drugs. Additionally, neither residents nor their guests may return to the environment under the influence of any of the aforementioned substances.

Students will be placed in substance free housing on a first come-first served basis, once they’ve signed the Substance-Free Housing Agreement. Priority may be given to students in recovery.  Substance free housing is available to sophomores, juniors and seniors. Students interested in living in this community should contact Housing via email (housing@tcnj.edu).
