Living at LETU



LeTourneau University provides an educational setting that is distinctive. Emphasis is placed on high academic standards, problem-solving experiences, and spiritual development centered on our faith in Jesus Christ. By choosing to study at LETU, you have also agreed to live by certain guidelines. For more information on these guidelines, please refer to the Student Handbook.


Chapel

Chapel services are held in the Belcher Chapel Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week from 10:50 to 11:30 am, with additional evening chapel services held at various times throughout the year.

Attendance Requirements

  • All LeTourneau students enrolled in twelve or more credit hours are required to receive a minimum of 38 Spiritual Formation Credits each semester.
  • The only students wholly exempt from Chapel will be those continuously enrolled in twelve (12) or fewer hours.
  • Each student is required to keep track of his or her own Chapel attendance. The official Chapel attendance records may be found at MyLETU.

 

Residence Life & Housing

Residence Life offers more to your university experience than providing a roof over your head and a place to study. Those within your living area may soon become like family. The family attitude is more than just personal, it is spiritual. You become bound by the unity found in Christ. As a result, we hope you will develop life-long friendships, a sense of belonging, love, and worthiness.

LETU offers students numerous housing options, including dormitories, apartments, and housing for married students.
