All first-year students who preference a Residential College and receive an assignment with a Residential College they preferenced will be held to the two-year housing contract. All first-year students who receive an assignment within a Residential College but did not preference that Residential College in their application will be held to a one-year housing contract. All first-year students who apply for housing in the Spring term and preference a Residential College and receive an assignment in a Residential College they preferenced will be required to live on campus the subsequent academic year. Such students will not be required to live on campus for the Fall term of the third academic year. The University will consider such students to have fulfilled their two-year housing contract after three semesters (Spring, Fall, and the following Spring). All students who fall under the two-year housing contract are required to participate in the Reapplication process. Failure to participate in Reapplication may result in the student losing their place within the Residential College and being assigned another space on-campus, or forfeiture of on-campus housing and financial liability for the broken housing contract, equivalent to the student’s on-campus housing room rate. All students who fall under the two-year housing contract but wish to live on-campus outside of the Residential College are required to be released from their Residential College by the Program Director. Any student who participates in Reapplication and preferences any Residential College and is placed within a Residential College will be held to a one-year housing contract.
