Special Requests
Accessible Accommodations
Students in need of special accommodations may contact Residence Life at 512/245-2382 or Disability Services at 512/245-3451. Ask for the procedures for housing requests based on disability-related needs.
Contract Cancellation
A housing reservation and contract applies for a full academic year and cannot be cancelled once signed. Only in rare instances is a cancellation permitted. Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing. For more information on cancellation deadlines, click here.
Disability Related Requests
The residence halls and university apartments provide a living environment that allows students access to the campus and its facilities. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Texas State recognizes that students with disabilities may have special housing needs, therefore a variety of living options are available to these students. It is the responsibility of the student with a disability to make their housing needs known to Residence Life in a timely manner. Failure to do so may result in a delay in the requested accommodation. Please click here for more information.
Room/Facility Changes
Each university housing facility has its own unique community. Students should strive to become part of that community before opting to transfer halls. If a resident wishes to change accommodations, he or she should contact a resident director for more information on available rooms. Changes typically occur only through the 12th class day of each semester.
Contract Release
The housing contract is a legally binding lease for an entire academic year. Contract releases are granted only under extreme circumstances. If the student has completed the request and submitted sufficient documentation to support extreme circumstances, a contract release may be granted. All releases will result in a forfeiture of the deposit. Exceptions to this nay occur if a student leaves the university, either by graduation or non-enrollment, or if the student is participating in a student teaching/internship program. In this case, sufficient documentation must be submitted. If a student is removed from an on-campus housing facility for disciplinary reasons, he or she will not receive a refund unless the infraction and the departure occur on or before the 12th class day in which a pro-rated refund will be granted upon request.
Private Room Requests – Residence Halls
Private rooms will be available if space permits. Requests may be submitted once the halls open and will continue through the 12th class day of the semester. Rooms will be on a first come, first served basis. Priority will be given to individuals who need a private room for medical reasons. For a private room based on medical reasons, a student should submit a letter from a physician which includes a description of the problem and why a private room is needed. After the 12th class day, unapproved requests will be declined. Approved private rooms are generally for the remaining portion of the academic year and carry and additional fee. If a student changes their private room into a double occupancy room, they will be consolidated into an available room with another student, unless the student has a person who is willing to move into their double occupancy room. A student may change the private room to a double room and receive a pro-rated refund if the request is submitted in writing prior to the 12th class day.
