Requests for Exception to the Agreement
If there are circumstances that may prevent a student from meeting the obligations of the Housing and Dining Agreement, they may appeal the agreement cancellation forfeitures by completing a Request for Exception to the Housing Agreement Form found on their Housing Page on UAOnline (under the Applications and Forms tab) no later than 30 days after the start of the semester following the semester in which cancellation fees would apply. Circumstances that may qualify for exception include medical withdrawal form student housing or from UAA, call to active military duty or change in employment status to a position more than 40 miles from campus. Exceptions are not typically granted for failure to adhere to published cancellation deadlines, change in financial status, poor academic performance, disciplinary withdrawal, or decisions to withdraw from college or attend another university.
Since the Housing Agreement for the fall and spring semesters is an academic-year agreement covering both semesters, students who are only staying for the fall semester, but not for spring have a window of opportunity in November to submit an online Cancellation Form for the spring semester and receive a release of their housing deposit after fall move-out. See the cancellation deadlines and release schedule above for specifics on these dates. Students who cancel for the spring semester after November will forfeit their deposit, but can request an exception in situations where submitting a late cancellation form is the result of a medical withdrawal or a related circumstance.
When submitting a Request for Exception, documentation for most circumstances is required and can be submitted along with the online Request for Exception Form.
