Resident Assistants are students, just like you, who are employed by the Housing office to provide assistance to all residents. RAs are upperclassmen that have demonstrated exceptional leadership skills, and go through a rigorous training to provide you with the best possible service. RAs are available 24 hours a day to help you with a variety of things including roommate conflicts. Your freshman year is a good time to get to know the RAs, to visit your complex office and to meet your Resident Director. It is never too early to think about putting in your own application to be an RA.  Click here for more info.

Please read your housing contract carefully. By default, all housing contracts are for the academic year (Fall and Spring semester). Our policy states,

 “CANCELLATION (Resident):  Housing facilities are rented for the academic year beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date. No Resident may withdraw from the housing except in case of extreme necessity and approved by the University. Cancellation of registration or academic suspension does not automatically release the Resident from the contract. Subletting by the Resident is not permitted. Students should submit their request to break their nine month housing contract by filling out the online "Request for Release" form located on our website. Residents who are permitted to break their housing contract will be subject to a penalty.”

As discussed above, there is a form available on our website called a "Request for Release" if you wish to submit a request to break your contract. If you are approved by our office to break your contract, in most cases a housing penalty equivalent to one month’s rent will still be assessed for all upperclassmen.

Freshman Only : Furthermore, your contract explains the residential requirements governing freshman, and it reads:

“RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS:  All first year Freshmen are required to live on campus.  Students may apply for an exception if they:  live within a 45 mile radius, are married and / or have a child(ren), have medical condition preventing them from living in a campus environment.”

Freshman requesting to be released from Housing must remember that they are required to live on campus for one academic year.  Freshman withdrawing from housing will be assessed a penalty for terminating your contract. Penalty charges will be the equivalent to the remaining monies due on your housing contract for the academic year. If you have any questions, please call us so we can provide any additional information you may need to make an informed decision.

All leases by default are 9 month (academic year leases).  Any amendments to this Contract must be in writing and acceptable to both parties. The Terms of the Contract remain in effect with all changes in assignments within the agreement period (Spring only option will be available to select in late November or early December).

Yes, you may pull-in roommates during the room selection period.
