The 精东AV Office of Residence Life strives to provide an inclusive living-learning community welcoming to all students regardless of race, ethnicity or national origin, culture, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, ability, privilege, political ideology, religious affiliation, or citizenship. In order to ensure students feel welcome and comfortable in their living spaces, we will strive to provide reasonable and appropriate gender-inclusive housing accommodations, requested. Housing arrangements are made on a case-by case basis, in order to provide the best possible accommodations for each student鈥檚 specific needs and preferences.

To request gender-inclusive housing arrangements or to learn more, please contact the Senior Director of Residence Life, Lisa Brown Cornelius (lmbrown@jcu.edu).
If you require a housing accommodation due to a medical, psychological, or other need, please contact the Student Accessibility Services (SAS) department about making these arrangements.
Accommodations related to housing must first be approved by SAS. Get more information at jcu.edu/accessibility.
If you would like to request an accommodation due to religious or other personal reasons, please contact the Office of Residence Life directly.

Room Selection times are the individually assigned times at which a student becomes eligible to log in and make their room selection. Selection times are randomly assigned in order to give all participants an impartial chance at being able to select the room of their choice.
If you are part of a fully mutually approved roommate group, the member of the group with the earliest selection time may log in and make the room selection for the whole group.

If you are still presented with no available rooms, even after rearranging your roommate group, the Office of Residence Life will work with you to find an appropriate placement.
If you miss your assigned selection time, you may still log in any time between your assigned time and the close of the Room Selection process on Friday, March 15th at 11:59pm to make your selection.
The Housing Agreement is binding. If space is available, even if it is not your first choice option, you will be held to the entirety of the Housing Agreement.
