Off Campus Housing Guidance

Attention International Students,

In an effort to provide the most secure off-campus housing options for UNC-Charlotte students, UNC Charlotte and Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department have partnered to launch a safety initiative called Niner Choice. The goals of this program are to promote increased security measures in University area off-campus properties; to increase relationships and communication between off campus properties and the University; and to help students and their families make informed decisions regarding off campus living options by providing them with criteria to consider, and to educate the property owners/managers on how to make their properties safer for students.

In summary, all properties listed on the website below have undergone a security survey of their property. The security survey evaluated the overall safety of the property, the individual units, the bedrooms and has met security requirements that have been set by the Niner Choice Taskforce.

The two standard levels for this program are the Green Standard and the Gold Standard. The Green Standard indicates that the property meets the standard for safety and security. The Gold Standard indicates that the property exceeds the standard for safety and security.
