University Housing: FAQ

ASU is currently operating in University Housing Mode 3, which includes increased security and enforcement; restricts ingress with no external visitors and one guest per room from within the same residence hall at any given time. Additionally, through this mode University Housing is working to de-densify higher risk living configurations with communal bathrooms and communal living situations; housing removal for repeat violations; and by facilitating single occupancy and process approved housing License Agreement Release requests. 

All students are expected to adhere to public health protocols and comply with ASU’s Community of Care guidelines to mitigate the spread of COVID-19:

• Monitor our own health using Health Check through the ASU App, wash hands regularly and stay home if we have any symptoms of illness.
• Wear a face covering at all times in all ASU buildings and outdoor spaces (except when eating) and maintain physical distance of more than six feet with people outside our homes.
• Adhere to the no-visitor policy in residence halls – including students who live in other residence halls. Students who violate this no visitor policy will be subject to suspension and evicted from university housing.
• Avoid large group activities and social gatherings on or off campus. Students who host or attend activities or gatherings that do not adhere to public health protocols will be subject to suspension.
• Ensure that we get tested regularly for COVID-19 because we know that there is always a risk for exposure.

Students should report violations of the Community of Care guidelines and protocols to a Community Assistant (CA) or University Housing professional staff member. If unable to reach their CA, a student can go to or contact their community’s front desk to report the violation. The front desk of each community is open 24/7. From there, a University Housing staff member will follow-up with students in violation of the Community of Care guidelines to ensure they understand the policies in place to keep the community safe.

A Request for License Agreement Release (LAR) is required from any student who wishes to be released from their agreement prior to the end of the academic year. LAR requests initiated by residents must be submitted through the ASU My Housing online portal. Under the current policy, all approvals and official check-outs completed after 5 p.m. on September 20, 2020 will not be prorated for the Fall 2020 semester. Although a student will be responsible for all housing charges for the Fall 2020 semester, if approved, they will not incur housing charges for the Spring 2021 semester.
