Approval Process for Living Off-Campus
Approval to live off campus may only be granted through the Office of 居住生活 for up to one academic year. 一旦授予, permission to live off campus is only valid so long as the reason for the original approval still exists. Any change of status during the time period for which the student has been approved to live off campus may nullify the off-campus status, resulting in the student being invoiced for room and board and/or possibly incurring an action for misconduct.
If you have obtained off-campus status, to retain that status you must maintain a valid local address and phone number through the Office of 居住生活. If you fail to provide an accurate address and phone number to the Office of 居住生活 by July 1 prior to the academic year, you will be charged for room and board.
If, 作为校外住校生, you disrupt the life/lives of those on campus (whether via noise, alcohol use or other means), the university may charge you with a conduct violation and/or rescind your commuter status.
应用ing for Commuter Status
If you are a student seeking approval to live off campus, submit/resubmit an application by April 12 (for returning 学生) or prior to the start of the academic year in which you intend to reside off campus (for new and transfer 学生).
You must reapply each year to renew your eligibility to live off campus even if you received approval to live off campus during a prior academic year.
If you signed an AU 住房 agreement, are later granted off-campus residency and opt out of the 住房 agreement, you may be subject to a $500 termination fee per the rules of that agreement.
To find an application for commuter status, go to 住房.亚什兰.edu. If you are a newly accepted or returning AU student, you can use your AU username and password to log into the system for a commuter application.
