Housing Contract Information

Contract Renewal Process

A process for current students to reserve a room for the following year is announced during the Fall Semester. Eligibility may be limited based on demand. Specific instructions are sent to each resident prior to the beginning of the contract renewal process.

Room Vacancies

Residential Life reserves the right to assign students to any existing vacancy at any time during the semester. Residential Life also reserves the right to consolidate vacancies. This vacancy consolidation process attempts to ensure that students occupying similar spaces are charged a similar rate.

Vacancy consolidation is initiated by Residential Life at any time it appears unlikely new students will be entering the residence communities to fill vacant spaces. At this time, students without a roommate will be informed of the vacancy consolidation process and their options. If space is available and no other student has priority, the remaining student may ask to retain the room without a new roommate. Written permission from Residential Life is necessary. Once permission is granted, the student will be billed at the single room rate. If the remaining resident does not wish to retain the room as a single, they are is subject to the vacancy consolidation procedures of Residential Life.
