    Residence Policy Waiver Request

    Requests for a waiver of the Residence Policy should be based on a unique hardship and not simply on a preference to live off-campus or perceived affordability. The request should outline the unique hardship and should include documentation that would support or verify the hardship need.

    Examples

    • A student requesting a waiver based on a medical need should include appropriate medical documentation from a physician or appropriate student disability documentation.
    • A student requesting a waiver based on unique financial hardship will have their financial aid eligibility reviewed per their FAFSA information. Changes to financial circumstances after FAFSA eligibility is determined must be documented.
