Returning to University Housing

Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the housing requirements?
Please be reminded that students with first year and sophomore status are required by the University to live on campus unless commuting from home (home must be within 25 miles or 30 minutes from Clark and you must be living with your parents/guardians ONLY). All Clark Students must complete four semesters in campus housing. If you are interested in appealing the housing requirements, please contact the RLH Office at (508) 793-7453 for more information.

How do I get on-campus housing after my leave from Clark?
If you wish to apply for University housing for the Spring 2010 Semester, you will need to do the following:

  • Complete the Returning to Housing Request Form   PDF Version
  • Sign and return your copy of the Housing Contract    PDF Version
  • Mail or fax these correspondence to RLH (see address below) by December 14, 2009

RLH Office

Worcester, MA 01610
Phone: 508.793.7453
Fax: 508.421.3787

What if I want to live with someone already in campus housing?
If you should know someone with a current vacancy or an anticipated vacancy for the Spring 2010 semester, please indicate your interest in living with them on your housing registration form. We encourage you to inform any person with whom you would like to live that from late November through Monday, December 7, 2009 the RLH Office will be holding "Pull-In Days". These days provide the opportunity for a student currently living in Clark housing to pull you into their confirmed vacant space. The current on-campus student must come to RLH to request you as their new roommate. (Singles and entirely open doubles do not apply during “Pull-in Days” unless they are within a suite or apartment).  Note that as a student returning from a leave, you DO NOT have to complete the Pull-In Days Double Room Request Form.

How are assignments made over the winter break?
You will be assigned to a space in University housing only after we receive the registration form and the signed housing contract.  Please be aware that the signed housing contract you submit is a binding commitment for University Housing for the Spring 2010 Semester. Once the RLH Office has all of the housing paperwork, assignments will be made based on the information you provide us on the housing form. Please indicate more than one choice on the registration form, as available spaces may be limited. We cannot guarantee the availability of single or double-buy out rooms. You will receive information about your housing assignment via email by Wednesday, January 13, 2010 to your Clark University email account.

When can I move in to University Housing in the Spring semester?
The residence halls/houses open at 9:00AM on Sunday, January 17, 2010. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Kevin Forti, Director of RLH at 508.793.7453 or via email.
