Housing Contract Responsibilities

The JMU Residential Contract is a legally binding agreement between the student and the university. The contract commits a student to university-sponsored housing for one academic year consisting of both fall and spring semesters. Specific items and conditions are outlined in the contract, and students should review them carefully.

A student moving out of his or her assigned residence hall room prior to the end of the academic year does not constitute a cancellation of the JMU Residential Contract.

Students must submit requests for release from the contract to the Director of Residence Life or his/her designee. Students cannot make commitments for other living arrangements until Residence Life grants the contract release. Granting a release is not automatic. If a release is granted, charges may be assessed based upon the refund schedule outlined in the JMU Residential Contract.
