Housing Assignments
Once students are placed in JCU Housing, they will receive an email notification with the assigned building and room type. The apartment address or roommate(s) information will not be released until the move-in day.
If, for any reason, JCU finds it necessary to change housing assignments, it reserves the right to place students in another accommodation and communicate it to them.
Relocation Request
Relocation requests will be processed after the Drop/Add deadline which is on the second week after arrival. The University cannot accommodate every request, and relocations will be approved based on medical needs or emergency circumstances. The placement changes are not guaranteed.
To apply for a change in housing placement after your arrival, submit an online Relocation Request Form. Once the request is submitted, it will be reviewed and evaluated by the Housing Office.
All relocation requests must be approved by JCU Housing, and any student who relocates or exchanges placements with another student without approval will be cited and may receive housing violation fines. The criteria used to determine room changes are as follows:
1. Date request is received by JCU Housing
2. Availability of space
3. Reasons for request
Damages
JCU Housing reserves the right to withhold transcripts if the accommodations are not returned in satisfactory condition. This includes damages to the apartment, missing items, extra cleaning (cleaning is done by an agency contracted by the university at mid-term and at the end of the year only), and excessive utility charges incurred at the end of the term. Transcript holds will be released only after payment is made to the JCU Finance Office.
Housing Refund and Cancellation Schedule
Students can request to cancel their JCU Housing application by notifying [email protected]. The refund will be assessed based on the Refund and Cancellation schedule below.
| Cancellation request submitted | Deposit Refund | Housing Fee Refund |

Online HOUSING agreement
Students must agree to complete the online Housing Agreement sent via email prior to their departure agreeing to respect the property, privacy, and rights of roommates and neighbors as well as abide by all Italian laws. All students staying in JCU Housing are responsible for reading and abiding by the policies and procedures outlined in JCU Housing Policies and Regulations.
