Partial-Year Contracts
Partial-year contracts are available for students who are planning to graduate early or who will be away from campus for study abroad, student teaching, an internship, a co-op, or a leave of absence.
If you think you may need a partial-year contract, you must still apply for and accept a Housing Contract for the entire academic year. Once you notify us that you will be leaving the Penn State campus for an internship, co-op, etc.—or will be graduating early—we will cancel your contract for the semester you will not be enrolled in classes at University Park. No cancellation fee will be charged.
Students Who May Be Away From Campus during the Spring Semester
If you have been offered an academic year contract but may not be attending University Park during the spring portion of the contract because of graduation, study abroad, student teaching, an internship, a co-op, or a leave of absence, you can still accept your Contract Offer. You must then indicate your plans for the spring semester on the survey that will be e-mailed to you in November. If you indicate that you will be away from campus for spring, we will cancel the spring portion of your contract after we confirm your registration with the Registrar.
Students Who May Be Away From Campus during the Fall Semester
If you have been offered an acedemic year contract but you may not be attending University Park for the fall portion of the contract period because of study abroad, student teaching, an internship, a co-op, or a leave of absence, you can still accept your Contract Offer. However, you must notify The Assignment Office for Campus Residences at assignmentoffice@psu.edu as soon as you know that you will be away the fall so that we can cancel your fall contract. If you will be returning in the spring, the spring portion of your contract will remain active and you will receive a spring assignment at the end of December.
If you do not have a contract for the acedmeic year and only need housing for the spring semester, please e-mail your request to the Assignment Office at assignmentoffice@psu.edu in early October. If housing is available, we will offer you a contract through the eLiving Housing Contract System in early December. If housing is not available, we will add your name to the spring semester Waitlist.
