Policies & Procedures
Residential Agreement of Community Standards
- All residential students agree to abide by the CCA Residential Community Standards, all of which are consistent with the college's educational objectives.
- Residents of CCA Housing are required and accountable to conduct themselves as responsible members of the college residential community as well as of the surrounding neighborhood community.
- Respect and consideration for the rights of others, their safety, and their need to study and rest is priority.
- Each resident is expected to respond positively to requests from staff of the College, it's service partners, and fellow students regarding behavior that does not conform to the college's stated standard of conduct.
- Please Note: Rules for student conduct apply to behavior occurring within or adjacent to CCA residential facilities and at all college-sponsored activities, regardless of location.
Questions regarding residential community standards and conduct should be sent to ResEd@cca.edu
Live On Residency Policy (First & Second Years, & New Transfers)
Please carefully review this policy as it is strictly enforced. If your student status requires that you live-on CCA's campus, and you do not qualify for an exemption, and you do not register for Housing by June 1, housing charges will apply to your account.
Questions regarding the requirement should be directed to housingdining@cca.edu
Student Housing Refund & Cancellation Policies
Academic Year Housing Cancellation Policy
Students not fulfilling their obligation to the required live-on residency requirement without an approved exemption by June 15 (for Fall start), and by December 1 (for Spring start) will be billed accordingly for the cost of housing at the current rate for a double studio in Founders Hall.
Cancellation Policy (applicable for students not required to live on)
Students who have submitted a Housing License Agreement, and subsequently submit a Housing Cancellation Form to CCA Housing on or before July 1 (Fall applicants) or December 15 (Spring only applicants) will:
- forfeit their room assignment,
- be released from their Housing License Agreement,
- and be charged a $1,500 Housing Cancellation Fee.
Students who have submitted a Housing License Agreement, and subsequently submit a Housing Cancellation Form to CCA Housing after July 1 (Fall applicants) or December 15 (Spring only applicants) but before taking occupancy will:
- forfeit their room assignment,
- be released from their Housing License Agreement,
- and be charged a $2,500 Contract Breakage fee.
Taking occupancy is defined as picking up the keys to an assigned room. Students who do not take occupancy or set up arrangements with CCA Housing, or arrange to do so by the date term courses begin will:
- forfeit their room assignment,
- be released from their Housing License Agreement,
- be charged a $3,500 Contract Breakage fee,
- and incur a housing fee equal to the prorated amount for their assigned space from the start date of the License Agreement through the date that term courses begin.
Students who submit a Housing Cancellation Form after taking occupancy and before the end of the License Agreement Period will incur a $2,500 contract breakage fee, and will be charged a prorated amount for the time of occupancy starting from the scheduled move-in date and ending the date their check-out is complete.
Allowable reasons and methods to cancel housing during the License Period with no contract breakage fee:
- Withdrawal or LOA from CCA: Students who complete one of these processes and are no longer enrolled will submit a Housing Cancellation Form and contact CCA Housing to arrange a checkout. Students will have 72 hours to move out after their classes are dropped. Students will be charged a prorated amount for the time of occupancy starting from the scheduled move-in date and ending the date their check-out is complete.
- Study Abroad: Students participating in a CCA-approved study abroad or exchange program will be released from their housing contract for the spring semester. They must submit a Housing Cancellation Form to CCA Housing on or before December 1 to be eligible for this exception. Students traveling in spring are expected to check-out of their Fall housing assignments by Noon on the day following the last day of finals for the preceding fall semester.
- December Graduation: Students graduating in December will be released from their License Agreement at the end of the Fall semester. Students must submit a Housing Cancellation Form to CCA Housing by December 1 to be eligible for this exception. They are expected to check-out of their Fall housing assignments by Noon on the day following the last day of classes for the fall semester. Failure to move out by Noon on the day following the last day of classes for the fall semester (unless otherwise scheduled by CCA) will result in the student being charged the full spring semester portion of their housing license agreement.
Students who are dismissed from housing and/or enrollment at CCA for academic or disciplinary reasons will be released from their Housing License Agreement. They will incur a $2,500 contract breakage fee and will be charged a prorated amount for the time of occupancy starting from the scheduled move-in date and ending the date their check-out is complete.
Summer housing applications, contracts, cancellations, and refunds are handled separately. For more information, see Portal.
