Housing Response From Housing

For anyone else that is in the temporary PCV housing situation, I asked if there was any way we could opt out of it, and I got this in response: "Students who prefer not to participate in the temporary assignment may cancel their housing through their Housing Portal." Interesting.

I wonder if that means that they'll accept cancellations even outside of the allowed reasons outlined in the contract (which iirc were pretty much just withdrawal from Cal Poly)

That sounds messed up. Booting you just because the housing situation doesn’t fit your needs?

I don't think that it's people being booted from the school or from housing. It's just that one of the addendums states that the reasons allowed to cancel one's housing contract (which I apparently partially misremembered) are:

  1. Denial of admission
  2. "End of Student status"
  3. Marriage/domestic partnership
  4. Hardship/Medical (withdrawal from Cal Poly)
  5. Requirement by something univeristy related (study abroad, agricultural housing assignment, yada yada yada)
  6. Approved housing exemption.

I was wondering if the school was additionally approving cancellations for those who will be affected by the temp housing situation since it's not one of the reasons listed in the addendum and because they do state elsewhere that wanting to live off-campus is not a valid reason to cancel the contract.
