Siena Heights University policy states that all fulltime students must live on campus for three years or until the student reaches senior status or 21 years of age (must be attained prior to September 1st). Some students may be exempt from housing if they meet certain criteria.
Please fill this form if you are not planning to return to University housing for the next semester. Please submit it prior to the beginning of the semester to receive your security deposit refund. Deposits will be forfeited once the new semester begins. Also, make an appoint with the Director of Student Success for an exit interview if you haven’t already.
Any student that moves from University housing during the academic year but remains an SHU student will be charged a $500 contract breakage fee for moving off campus. This fee may be appealed in writing to the Director of Residence Life.
In some cases, moving off campus may affect your financial aid. Please check with the Financial Aid Office regrading this issue.
Please note: Deposits will not be processed until you have completely checked out. Damages may still be deducted including improper checkout fees. If money is owed to the University for any reason your deposit will be applied to your account.
