Lease signing and commitment to reside

The lease to be signed with University Housing is for nine consecutive months. It follows that it is the students' responsibility if they plan to study abroad for a semester (either Spring or Fall) during the academic year of prospective residence in the Maison to find a replacement (cleared by the director). At the time students are notified of admission, they will have an eight day period in which to sign a binding commitment to reside in the Maison during the following academic year. This commitment will have the effect of eliminating alternate residential options they may also have applied for. It is designed to protect alternate candidates on the waiting list who cannot be asked to wait indefinitely.
