Upperclass Housing Contract
This contract is a legally binding agreement for housing at the University of Rochester. Once it is submitted, you will be contractually obligated for University housing for the fall and spring semesters of the 2013–14 academic year subject to the conditions below. By signing the Residential Life/Dining Services Application-Contract you agree that:
On-Time Class of 2014 and 2015 Applications:
Students submitting this application by the published
upperclass application deadline are qualified
for a regular or crowded space in University
housing if adequate space is available.
Late Class of 2014 and 2015 Applications:
If
space remains after all on-time applicants have
been offered assignments, late applicants will
be offered assignments based on the order in
which their applications are received. You are not
required to accept an assignment offered in this
way. However, once you accept, you become
contractually obligated for University housing
for the fall and spring semesters of the 2013–14
academic year subject to the conditions below.
Class of 2016 Applications:
All Class of 2016
sophomores are entitled and obligated to live
in University housing for the fall and spring
semesters of the 2013–14 academic year subject
to the conditions below. Students who submit an
application on time will be allowed to participate
in the annual room selection process. Students
desiring to live at home with family must petition
for release from this requirement prior to submitting
a housing application.
Late or Missing Class of 2016 Applications:
Class of 2016 sophomores who submit late applications
or do not submit any materials will be
automatically assigned housing following the
annual room selection process in remaining available
or crowded space. Charges for 2013–14 will
be posted to the student term bill. Students with
Bursar holds will be assigned available housing
after all other sophomores have been assigned.
New Freshman (Class of 2017) Applications:
Qualified new freshman students are entitled to
and obligated for University housing for the fall
and spring semesters of the 2013–14 and 2014–15
academic years subject to the conditions below
and are bound by the 2013–14 Residential Life and
Dining Services Application-Contracts. Submitting
this application after the New Student Priority
Deadline may result in delayed assignment, lower
preferences, and/or assignments to crowded
housing. Students desiring to live at home with
family must petition for release from this requirement
prior to submitting a housing application.
The decision whether to grant a release is at the
University’s discretion and shall be final.
- No assignment will be made unless you have paid your enrollment deposit (new students) or have been cleared by the Bursar’s Office (continuing students).
- You are applying for an assignment within the residence halls system and not for any specific space. Assignments will be made according to the procedures established by the Director of Residential Life.
- If you arrive at school late or leave early, or are required to leave for disciplinary reasons, the full-year contract is still binding on you, except as explicitly otherwise provided in this document.
- By signing and submitting this application, you accept responsibility to pay all resultant charges for residential life services, even if you do not make use of some or all of the services noted. The University agrees faithfully to provide those services unless events beyond its control prevent its doing so.
