Procedures for Reviewing Requests for Exemption from First Year Live-On Requirement

I. Requests for exemption to the first year live-on requirement will be considered and may be granted in cases of compelling individual circumstances.

II. All correspondence regarding exemption requests should be addressed to: Housing Assignments Office, First Year Live-On Requirement, Russell Hall, Athens GA 30602-5575. Questions may be answered by contacting the Assignments Office at 706-542-1421, 706-542-8595 (fax) or housing@uga.edu.

III. The Director of Residence Hall Administrative Services and Communications, or her/his designee, will review written requests for exemption within a timely manner. Additional information may be required of some applicants. Applicants will be notified of decisions regarding requests for exemption in a timely manner.

IV. Individual students may appeal, in writing, the denial of the request for exemption to an appeals committee consisting of (a) one member of the faculty appointed by the chairperson of the Educational Affairs Committee of the University Council who will serve as chairperson of the appeals committee, (b) one Division of Student Affairs professional staff member appointed by the vice president for student affairs and (c) one University Housing professional staff member appointed by the executive director of University Housing.


Written appeals must be submitted to the University Housing Assignments Office not later than ten working days after notice has been sent that a request for exemption has been denied.
Appeals will be reviewed in a timely manner at University Housing.
The Appeals Committee may consult with other units of the university, including, but not limited to, the University Health Center, the Disability Resource Center and the Office of Student Financial Aid when appropriate.
Decisions of the appeals committee will be communicated, in writing, within a reasonable time from the date that the appeal is reviewed by the committee.
Decisions of the appeals committee will be final.
