SPRING 2021 ON-CAMPUS HOUSING FAQS
2021-2022 ACADEMIC YEAR HOUSING FAQ
West Chester University will guarantee housing to currently enrolled first year students with previously completed occupancy/lease agreements if they complete the application and occupancy/lease agreement by Friday, February 5, 2021 with either Traditional housing or USH Affiliated Housing. This guarantee is based on opening fall 2021 with double occupancy rooms.
To qualify as a current first-year student, the student must have been admitted for Fall 2020 and is currently taking Fall 2020 courses at West Chester University.
The housing guarantee for fall 2021 is only for currently enrolled first-year students with previously completed occupancy/lease agreements. After accommodating current first-year students, priority consideration will be given to our incoming first-year students and then current sophomores with a previously completed 2020-2021 application and occupancy/lease agreements. Students must complete their Housing Intent Form for the 2021-2022 academic year by November 30, 2020in order to be considered. Housing for upperclassman is not guaranteed. Any housing for upper-class students will be based on opening fall 2021 with double occupancy rooms.
Current first-year students with a previously completed 2020-2021 lease agreements must complete a Housing Intent Form for the 2021-2022 academic year using the USH Resident Portal by November 30, 2020. If you resided in USH housing during any term of 2020-2021 academic year, you will be required to pay non-refundable application fee for 2021-2022. The lease agreement must be signed by February 5, 2021.
We cannot guarantee that you will receive your previous housing assignment. However, once we assign rooms, we will offer a room change period prior to the start of the fall semester.
LIVING ON-CAMPUS SPRING 2021
This means that you are not to visit any other apartment and you are to have no guests in your apartment. To ensure all have the same understanding, a guest is defined as anyone who is not officially assigned to your unit. Should any resident be documented for willingly ignoring the university’s guidelines that you signed and agreed to follow, the University reserves the right to temporarily remove you from campus housing until your conduct matter has been resolved. Ongoing monitoring of the health and safety of the community will occur continually. We expect if guest privileges are reinstated, residents should expect strict limitations, which will be communicated at that time. Because of the overriding concern for the health and safety of our community, WCU reserves the right to amend, modify, delete, or add new and additional rules and regulations to the use and care of the facilities in furtherance of those health and safety concerns. Such amendments will be emailed to residents and posted within the residential facilities.
