Housing Agreement Release Request

The Residence Hall Housing Agreement is binding for the entire academic year. This Agreement is strictly adhered to with exceptions made under special circumstances. Students who wish to request a release may do so by completing the Housing Agreement Release Request form and submitting it to the department of Housing and Residence Life. Submitting a request for a release does not guarantee release nor should acceptance of the request by the department of Housing and Residence Life be construed as a commitment to release.

Residents requesting a Residence Hall Housing Agreement release must provide written documentation that a significant, uncontrollable, and unforeseen change in circumstance has occurred, since the time the Agreement was signed, which has created a special housing need that cannot be provided by the department of Housing and Residence Life.

The Process for Requesting a Release

1. Resident must obtain, complete, and submit a Housing Agreement Release Request to Housing and Residence Life.
2. Depending on the reason for the release request, the resident must also provide a written letter outlining the following:
- The reason(s) for requesting a Housing Agreement Release Request.
- The change in circumstance that prevents the resident from living in on campus housing.
- How the resident's housing needs cannot be accommodated through on campus housing.

The request will be reviewed by Housing and Residence Life and a decision will be communicated to the resident via Tulane e-mail within 7-10 business days.
