Parent/Guardian Approval

If you are under 18 at the time of applying for housing, a parent or guardian (cosigner) must sign your housing contract before you can complete it. This involves completing the Parent/Guardian Approval, which legally binds both the student and cosigner to the terms of the contract, including payment obligations.

The approval process is located in the housing portal, where students will provide their cosigner's information.
