Is my housing contract for 12 months? Your contract begins when the buildings officially open in September and concludes in May with Graduation. Once your contract is signed, it is valid through May of the following year. Occupancy is for nine months, September to May.
Can the University help me with off-campus housing?
The University supports the on-campus experience as students who live on
campus do better academically, and are more likely to persist to graduation,
therefore, the University does not provide any off-campus housing assistance.
What is the move-in deadline? Any student who does not occupy their assigned room by the last day of Check-In will forfeit that specific housing assignment unless a written request providing sufficient cause for late move-in has been previously submitted to and approved by the Coordinator of Housing Operations. Students who arrive after the move-in deadline will be placed in any available space.
How are the residence halls accessed? Entrance to the residence halls are through a hand scanning system, and entrance to specific rooms are via key. Only students who live in a particular hall have access to that hall. Students should never lend their key to anyone.
May I bring a microwave/refrigerator? Students are not permitted to bring their own microwaves or fridges. However, students will have the opportunity to lease a micro-fridge through our vendor, Colorado Collegiate Rentals (1-877-449-6422). Information about these will be included with the housing assignment mailed in July.
