The housing assignment information will be sent in early May (for fall) or early December (for spring). The email will include the name of the residential community and room number, roommate鈥檚 name, and contact information so roommates can contact each other to begin discussing what each is bringing. A student applying after the initial assignment information has been sent should receive their assignment information within two weeks.

Assignments cannot be changed once a student arrives on campus. There is a grace period at the beginning of the semester before a room change is made. This allows roommates to make a good-faith effort to resolve differences and for the University to assess housing needs.

Following this grace period, Housing will allow students to change assignments during the Room Change Period. The Room Change Period usually occurs within two to three weeks after the first day of classes.

Following the Room Change Period, students desiring to change rooms/roommates must meet with their Residence Life Coordinator and participate in mediation. Any student who changes rooms without prior approval will be assessed an administrative fee and sent through the Student Conduct process.

Residents must submit a Petition For Release or Exemption to the main office and obtain approval to be released from the housing agreement.

The 鈥�Petition for Exemption鈥� process is reserved for students who meet specified qualifications to have their dining or residency requirements waived. This should be completed before signing a housing agreement.

• If approved, the meal plan requirement is automatically waived as well.
• If denied, the student will be bound by the Freshmen and Sophomore Residency Requirement.

The 鈥�Petition for Release鈥� process is for students who have signed either a housing or dining agreement and is reserved for those who have experienced a significant and unforeseen change after the agreement was signed that prevents them from upholding their contractual obligation.

• A student can petition a release from their housing agreement, dining agreement, or both.
• If approved for a housing release, the required meal plan is automatically released.

Petitions for release or exemption, solely for the purpose of living in off-campus housing or to commute from home, will not be approved.

Any approved petitions are subject to the university鈥檚 refund policy, cancellation fees and could be prorated based on usage. Based on the housing agreement you signed, release from your housing agreement will result in a cancellation fee determined by the date you cancel.

A release or exemption is only applicable for the academic year for which you request and must be resubmitted each academic year.
