Students living in University housing (including fraternities,
sororities and University-assigned off-campus apartment
complexes) must be enrolled as Stanford students during
each quarter of occupancy. An exception to this policy may
be made upon approval of this petition for students who
wish to remain in University housing for one quarter immediately
following degree conferral as long as all enrolled students
can be accommodated.
If your terminal degree is conferred at the end of autumn,
winter or spring term, you may petition to remain
in University housing while non-enrolled for one term immediately
after degree conferral. Petitions are approved on the
condition that all enrolled students can be accommodated.
The University, at its discretion, may approve or deny all
or a portion of a given population (e.g. undergraduate female,
couple without children), based on projected demand.
In the event that not all petitions are approved, priority
will be based on date of receipt by Housing Assignments
and reason for staying.
Petitions are considered for students who wish to remain
non-enrolled Winter Quarter or Spring Quarter. Post-Graduation
Quarter petitions are not granted for Autumn Quarter
due to the housing demand from enrolled applicants.
Eligibility. In order
to remain in University housing as a non-enrolled
student you must:
- be an enrolled matriculated Stanford student during the term preceeding your request,
- currently live in a University residence,
- be in good academic and financial standing with
the University, and
- have your degree conferred by the first Thursday of
the quarter in which you will be non-enrolled (your graduation
quarter). (Please note: Degree conferral is distinct from
the awarding of a diploma, which only occurs during Commencement).
You are not eligible to live in University housing
as an non-enrolled student if you will be auditing classes
or working on an honor's thesis, honor's project, dissertation*,
or any outstanding incompletes that must be completed before
your degree can be conferred. If you are engaged in such academic
work, but will not be taking classes, you may petition at
the Registrar's Office for the appropriate registration status
at a reduced fee (usually a Permit To Attend for undergraduates
or Terminal Graduate Registration for graduate students).
As a enrolled student, you will be able to continue in occupancy
in University housing.
Conditions. If your Post-Graduation
Quarter petition is approved and you move out before the
end of the quarter, you remain liable for the rent for the
entire term. A Post-Graduation Quarter grants a housing extension
for the entire quarter, not a portion. There are
no exceptions to this policy! All terms and conditions
of the Residence
Agreement apply during your occupancy. Your post-graduation
quarter is for one quarter only. You must file a
Termination of Occupancy Card by the deadline and move off
campus at the end of your term of occupancy in a graduation
quarter.
The approval of this petition is contingent upon successful
completion of your coursework requirements during the current
academic quarter and conferral of your degree by the first
Thursday of your post-graduation quarter. If this petition
is approved and your degree is not conferred by the
first Thursday of your post-graduation quarter, you will be required
to register or terminate occupancy (move out) immediately.
Eligibility requirements are subject to verification by
Housing Assignments. Therefore, if there is a change
in your registration/graduation status, please contact Housing
Assignments as soon as possible.
