THE COLLEGE IS NOT OBLIGATED TO MAKE A MODIFICATION THAT SUBSTANTIALLY ALTERS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF A COURSE, PROGRAM, OR SERVICE.

This includes:

STUDENTS GOING JYA IN THE FALL

• Complete a white card at Housing Sign-Ups

Room assignments will be made in early January for the spring semester according to the priority number you received in Room Draw. Students who will be away for the full academic year should be sure to ask another student to act as her proxy for that year’s Room Draw.

STUDENTS LIVING OFF CAMPUS

• Students choosing to live off campus are responsible for finding their own housing and promptly notifying the Registrar and/or Residential Life of their address and phone number. Students may not choose to move off campus at any other time during the year. Full room and board fees will be charged to any student who has not signed up for off campus housing. If special circumstances warrant a change of plans, you must receive permission from the Dean of the College.
