HOUSING ASSIGNMENTS
Once students are placed in JCU Housing, they will receive an email notification with the assigned building and room type. The apartment address or roommate(s) information will not be released until the move-in day. JCU Graduate Housing contract does not include or house non-JCU individuals (i.e., friends and family) of the student. No overnight visitors are allowed in JCU Housing.
If, for any reason, JCU finds it necessary to change housing assignments, it reserves the right to place students in another accommodation and communicate it to them.
The apartments have various floor plans, aesthetics, furnishings, or locations. Students can enter building and room options on the application as preferred housing options; however, the actual placement may vary based on the availability and the date of submission. Graduate Housing is limited, and priority is given to new incoming graduate students who start in Fall.
For Housing move-in and move-out dates, refer to the Arrival Information page.
DAMAGES
JCU Housing reserves the right to withhold transcripts if the accommodation is not returned in satisfactory condition. This includes damage to the apartment, missing items, extra cleaning (cleaning is done by an agency contracted by the University at mid-term and at the end of the year only), and excessive utility charges incurred at the end of the term. Transcript holds will be released only after payment is made to the JCU Finance Office.
