Answer

  1. University Housing does not consider engagements as marriages for married exemptions. Applications received without a legal marriage license will be denied
  2. To apply for a married exemption, you first need to go to the University Housing Portal
  3. Click the Exemption Request button
  4. Find the appropriate term and click Continue
  5. Review your information and update as necessary. When finished, click Save & Continue
  6. Find the dropdown box labelled Exemption Type Requested and select Married
  7. Read the terms and conditions outlined in the agreement
  8. Sign in agreement by typing your first and last name
    • Note: Students must type their name exactly as it appears in the housing portal, with no extra spaces or punctuation
  9. Click Save & Continue
  10. Upload an official copy of your Marriage License and click Submit Exemption Application
  11. You should arrive at a page labelled Exemption Application Status. You can now click Exit Application
  12. Married Exemptions are based upon the student providing a valid marriage license to the University Housing Office
    • Note: Married Exemptions are not processed until a copy of a valid marriage license is submitted to the University Housing office
  13. There is no way for University Housing to quantify how likely it is that an exemption will get approved. The approval or denial of a housing exemption is solely based on the requirements outlined for each exemption and the university's ability to accommodate students' needs
    • Note: University Housing recommends that students do not sign an off-campus lease until their exemption is approved
