About Housing Exemptions
To request an exemption from the Freshman Residency Requirement, submit the form below by the stated deadline. We strive to be consistent and equal when making decisions concerning requests for housing exemption.
We do encourage future residents to complete their housing registration as early as possible since few exemptions are granted. Because of the enrollment deposit of $300, we understand if you would prefer to delay your housing registration until you have been notified regarding your request. However, late cancellation fees may be assessed depending on the timing of your housing exemption request.
