Thank you for your interest in becoming a part of our residential community at ¶¶ÒõPro’s Charlotte Campus.

Read through the instructions carefully, as they offer important information for securing campus housing.

Questions? Contact Res Life.

On-Campus Housing Requirement

Beginning in 2025, ¶¶ÒõPro Charlotte will have a 3-year residency requirement. All first year students who are admitted for the Fall 2025 semester or after are required to live on campus for their first, second and third year at the university.

A housing exemption for the three-year residency requirement will be granted only for one or more of the following reasons. If you do not fit into one of the categories below, then you will not qualify for an exemption.

• Over 24 years of age
• Commuting from less than 50 miles while living with an adult family member or legal guardian (requires additional documentation)
• Are married and/or have a child
• Have a medical accommodation need requiring off-campus housing (requires additional documentation and approval from Accessibility Services)

If you meet one or more of these criteria, complete the Residency Exemption form located in the admissions portal. Once a decision has been made, you will receive a notification via email.

Applying for Housing

• You must before you can .
• The online system validates all new deposits overnight. If a deposit is submitted on March 19th, you’ll be able to access the online application on March 20th; if the deposit is submitted on March 26th, you can access the online application on March 27th; and so on.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does the online housing selection process work? Through ¶¶ÒõPro Link, our single sign-on system, you can complete your housing application and select a room and roommates online and in real-time. (To do so, your deposit must be paid in full.)

You can log into the system using your ¶¶ÒõPro ID number and password. (You can change your password to a more secure choice once you enter the system.) Upon entering the system, you will see some demographic data: your ¶¶ÒõPro ID number, email address, date of birth, and other personal information. If any information appears incorrect, students should contact us immediately.

Once you have verified that your personal information is correct, select the Application tab. In order to proceed, you must select a term.

You will then be assigned to a classification, which designates your campus and eligibility for housing selection. The classifications are Returning, Campus Transfer, and New. If your classification information appears incorrect, contact us immediately.

The system generates a unique screen name for you so that your identity remains confidential during the roommate compatibility search; it will remain screened until you choose to disclose it.

Once a final room has been selected, your full name, phone number, and ¶¶ÒõPro email address will be provided to all roommates.

How to Apply for Housing:

1. Preferences Questionnaire: The questionnaire contains 16 questions pertaining to lifestyle, including sleep habits, smoking habits (if any), and room use preferences such as noise level, guests, sharing, etc. Once the profile has been completed, other prospective residents can view it in their search for a compatible roommate.

2. Learning Communities: Tell us your Learning Community preferences (if any).

3. Special Needs/Disability Accommodations: Notify us of any special needs or disability requirements. In order to be considered for special accommodations, you must first disclose to us if you are physically or learning disabled. Our office works with the Center for Academic Support (CAS) to help students select a room that fits their needs.

4. Roommate Preference: Secure your roommate preference by entering that student’s ¶¶ÒõPro ID number, screen name, or date of birth; however, the student in question must already have completed their housing application. Having a confirmed roommate does not mean that you will automatically be placed together. Once you have selected a room, proceed to the Assign Roommates step.

5. Application Agreement: Once you have selected “agree,” you will receive a postback message confirming receipt of your application. You will also receive an email confirmation. (If you do not agree to the terms and conditions, you will not be able to continue.)

6. Option to cancel: If you're unsatisfied with how you answered any portion of the application and wish to start over, you can cancel it before the room selection phase. If you decide that you do not want to live on campus, you can cancel the application before the room selection phase. However, once you select a room and agree to the terms, the application cannot be canceled or changed.

7. Room Selection: The room selection portion of the online process has two steps: 1) selecting a room and roommates and 2) completing of the room terms agreement. Students will be permitted to enter the room selection portion according to their assigned participation time. You will only be able to select a room from eligible halls and from rooms with available beds. You can hold a room for 24 hours before committing to it.

8. Room Terms Agreement: Once you’re satisfied with your selected room, proceed to the Room Terms Agreement section. You must read each term and select the box next to the statement to indicate your agreement. Once all terms have been read and accepted, the agreement is submitted. Once you lock in your assignment, you cannot change it online.

What if I am unable to log onto the Housing Selection System? If you are unable to log onto the system, contact our office during normal hours of operation, Mon-Fri, 8:30am-4:30pm.

How does roommate selection work? One student requests; the other accepts. One student can select a room on behalf of the other(s), provided the other(s) has agreed to reside with them. Students who do not have a particular roommate in mind can also use the Roommate Match feature to locate a student who answered the lifestyle preference questions similarly; from there, students can send email messages to each other to arrange to secure a room together.

How many roommates can I select? You can select as many roommates as your room preference can hold. Availability cannot be guaranteed.

How are the rooms labeled in the system? All rooms are listed by a three-letter hall abbreviation and by the individual bed. For example, CHS120A-1 is Cedar Hall South, room 120A, bed 1; CHS120A-2 is Cedar Hall South, room 120A, bed 2. When you select a bed, you will also be able to see how many (if any) beds remain in a particular room. 

What if my roommates and I cannot be placed together? Availability cannot be guaranteed. If all roommates cannot be placed together — for example, if you want to select 3 particular roommates to make a quad room, but no quad rooms are available, you must choose your roommate(s) based upon what is next available (say, a double or triple). Whoever cannot be placed with you must log on at his/her assigned participation time to select housing.

When will I receive my housing confirmation and roommate contact information? You will receive an initial confirmation via email. We will send out an official housing information packet confirming your assignment in early August.

As a one-time courtesy, Johnson & ¶¶ÒõPro (¶¶ÒõPro) will allow you to cancel your Room Terms Agreement (“Housing Contract”) in the fashion described below. Except as described below, your Housing Contract is legally binding and not waivable.

Canceling Your Housing Contract

To cancel your Housing Contract, you must do so through the Wildcat Housing System via Contract Release. Any other cancellation or form of notice does not qualify as an official cancellation. Once your cancellation is received, you will be notified via e-mail by Residential Life that your housing assignment has been canceled and stating the amount of the cancellation fee that you will be billed.

Current Residential Students: 2-Year Residency Requirement Met

This cancellation policy applies to current residential students that have fulfilled the two-year residency requirement as defined Johnson & ¶¶ÒõPro. The two-year residency requirement is determined by the student’s first semester of enrollment at Johnson & ¶¶ÒõPro. For example, a student enrolled at Johnson & ¶¶ÒõPro for the first time beginning in Fall 2022 is mandated to live on campus until Fall 2024.

The cancellation policy does not apply to residents who have not fulfilled the two-year residency requirement. If a resident is mandated to live on campus and does not wish to live on campus, the resident must complete an Exemption Request.

A housing exemption for the two-year residency requirement will be granted only for one or more of the following reasons. If you do not fit into one of the categories below, then you will not qualify for an exemption. If the request is granted, an exemption appeal fee will not be assessed.

• Students who are 21 years of age or older
• Transfer students
• Students who are single parents
• Students who are married or have a domestic partner
• Students who live with an adult relative within a 50-mile radius of the campus (as determined by ¶¶ÒõPro using GoogleMaps)

Please allow 7-10 business days for Exemption Requests to be reviewed and approval or denial emails to be sent.

If the Exemption Request is denied, a resident can submit a written appeal to Residential Life via e-mail. If the appeal is granted, you will be assessed an exemption appeal fee of $250. If the appeal is denied, you will need to submit a housing application and will then be assigned a selection time to choose a room.

Appeals must be received within two days of receiving the denial e-mail. Late appeals will not be accepted or reviewed. Please allow two to three business days for appeals to be reviewed and approval or denial emails to be sent.

Cancellation Fee Schedule:

If the cancellation occurs:

Prior to May 15: $0

May 15 Between and June 30: $250

On or after July 1st Cancellation Fee: $500

If canceling after the start of the housing term, students will also be charged a prorated amount until they officially check out of housing and return their keys. Check-outs must be completed no later than 48 hours after submitting a cancellation request.

¶¶ÒõPro Approved Internship

If you cancel your Housing Contract prior to the start of the semester because you are completing an off-campus internship, you will not be subject to cancellation penalties. However, it is still required that you submit a cancellation request to Residential Life in the manner described above.

If you cancel after the start of the semester, you will be subject to the cancellation policy and fees.

Please note Residential Life will verify your internship before canceling your Housing Contract.

Financial Aid

If you defer payments through Financial Aid, you are responsible for any cancellation penalties assessed. Typically, Financial Aid does not cover cancellation penalties; therefore, students are individually responsible for assessments made to the student account.
