Q) Aren’t students who currently live on-campus guaranteed housing?
A) New freshmen are guaranteed on-campus housing for four consecutive semesters. All other students are offered housing on a space available basis. The Housing Contract states in paragraph 4:
“Upon acceptance of the initial housing deposit, the University guarantees on-campus housing to new freshmen for four consecutive semesters provided they are enrolled as full-time students, pay all fees, meet all deadlines, and follow all established procedures for continued living in university housing. Once new freshmen complete four consecutive semesters, university housing is obtainable on a space available basis. Students who leave university housing before completing four consecutive semesters are no longer guaranteed housing. For all other students, university housing is obtainable on a space available basis.”
