I am graduating in May, but living in my apartment until August. Is there a summer UDAP contract that I can buy?
We do not sell UDAP contracts to graduating seniors. If one of your roommates is an underclassman, he/she could purchase a UDAP contract for the apartment. Otherwise, you need to contact the utility companies directly to see if they will extend your contract.

What are my responsibilities when I buy a UDAP contract?
You are responsible for connecting / disconnecting all your utilities (UDAP has no authority to connect or disconnect your utilities). If you go away for the summer, you are still responsible for any charges as long as the utility connections are in your name. If you sublease your apartment, disconnect all utilities in your name. The person subleasing the apartment should put all utilities in his/her own name and can purchase his/her own UDAP contract.

How much is a UDAP contract?
$35.00

When can I purchase a contract?
Contracts go on sale in April for the next school year and can be purchased anytime through ecampus. Contract terms end on May 31 of the following year.

How do I purchase a UDAP contract?
The contract can be purchased online through ecampus.
