ASU’s vice president for student affairs reviews the decisions of the Office of Housing and Residential Programs when an appeal is made by a student whose request for an exemption has been denied.
If a Registration Hold has been placed on your record, you will be unable to register for classes until a decision has been reached on your request for exemption. This means that if you submit your request for exemption late, on or near the deadline dates, or incomplete, you may not be able to register for classes until the next registration period (which may or may not be prior to the start of the semester).
You should not make off-campus housing arrangements until you receive written notification from the Office of Housing and Residential Programs stating that your request for exemption has been approved.
A student who gives false information concerning housing will be subject to disciplinary action, including possible suspension from the university. A student found to be living off campus without approval from the Office of Housing and Residential Programs will be notified through their ASU student email account to move on campus. If this is not accomplished within ten (10) class days, the director of Housing and Residential Programs will initiate disciplinary action.
If your request for release/exemption is approved, you will receive written notification stating the reason your request was approved. You will be billed through the date of the approval or the date that you officially check out of your residence hall room.
If this date is after the start of the semester, you will be billed for housing and food charges through the date that you officially check out of your residence hall room. Housing and food rates are prorated on a daily basis.
Note: Blue Meal Plans are Non-Refundable.
If your request for release/exemption is denied, you will receive written notification of the decision to deny, along with the reason(s) your request was denied. Current students or new students who have received their ASU email account will be notified via that email account. Prospective students or applicants who do not have ASU email accounts will be notified by phone. Your appeal must be received within 30 business days from the date of your denial notification.
Detailed appeals instructions will be provided when the original decision is sent. Your appeal request should consist of a written statement of why you are appealing the decision, as well as any additional or new information that was not included in your original exemption request that you would like to have considered for your appeal.
If the appeals decision upholds the denial of your request for release/exemption, you will be expected to reside in university-owned housing, and you will be held financially responsible for the full duration of your contract. A space in the residence halls will be held for you to uphold the university’s responsibility to the contract.
If your appeal is approved, Housing and Residential Programs will be notified of the decision and take the appropriate action. You will be expected to follow the procedures to schedule and complete a proper check-out of your assigned room with your hall staff. Any required housing and/or food charges (if applicable) will be prorated based on the date that you complete your proper check-out.
