university res life policies
binding residence contract Regardless of the financial payment plan you choose, resident contracts are effective upon signing and are binding for the entire academic year. As long as you are in attendance at the University, you will be responsible for room and board charges for the entire academic year, even if you do not occupy your assigned room or utilize the dining facilities, for whatever reason.
good standing Your assigned room and hall are contingent upon your being in good standing with the University. If you have any Financial Planning or Health Services holds on your record as of Check-In deadline, your housing assignment will be removed. You will then be placed in any available space at Check-In if and when all such holds have been removed.
eligibility Only full-time undergraduate day students are eligible to live in University residence halls.
move-in deadline Any student who does not occupy their assigned room by the last day of University Check-In will forfeit that specific housing assignment unless a written request providing sufficient cause for late move-in has been previously submitted to and approved by the Director of Residential Life. Students who arrive after the move-in deadline will be placed in any available space.
special accommodations When a student informs Residential Life or the Center for Academic Support that they are in need of a particular on-campus housing accommodation, both offices will work in tandem to evaluate the request to ensure that reasonable accommodations are provided. The student must submit the required special needs or disability documentation to the Center for Academic Support before a request can be considered (see Center for Academic Support webpage for further information).
