Appeals
The purpose of the Housing Appeals process is to provide students with an unbiased review of their dispute of housing and/or meal plan charges, requirements, or policies.
The Housing Appeals Committee will review submitted appeals for any housing and/or meal plan related financial charges, requirements, or policies according to this process.
What you need to know about the housing appeals process:
• Submitting a Housing Appeal does not mean your appeal will be granted.
• Housing appeals are reviewed weekly. Assuming all documentation is in order, it is our goal to complete appeal reviews by no more than 7 days after submission.
• Incomplete submissions will not be reviewed. Failure to provide adequate rationale and supporting documentation may result in the delay of your request being considered or denial of your appeal.
• Supporting documentation is required. Examples of supporting documentation are financial documentation, letters of support, transcript information, and/or legal notifications.
• All terms, conditions, and related fees in the housing license must be followed until the committee has approved your appeal.
• The appeal must be submitted within 30 calendar days of the specified charge being posted to the student's account.
The appeals process is NOT for the following:
• Room Changes
• Exemption Request
• Community Standard Concerns
• Requests for Emotional Support Animals
• Damage Charge Appeals
• Setting up Payment Plans or requesting payment extensions
These have other forms or processes to complete and are not to be submitted as a Housing Appeal.
How to submit an appeal:
• Go to the myHousing Portal. The Appeals Form can be found under Forms.
• Complete the form and provide a detailed explanation as to the reason for your appeal.
• Upload any supporting documentation that you feel will best support your request. This may include financial documentation, letters of support, transcript information, and/or legal notifications.
• After the committee meets and makes a decision, you will be notified by email of the committee’s decision.
Provide Supporting Documentation
Every Appeal must be accompanied supporting documentation. While the supporting documentation listed below are the minimum requirements for the submission and consideration of an Appeal, it is required that additional information outlining the significant and unforeseen change of circumstances is provided to the Appeals Committee.
