Mutual roommate requests (you must request each other when you enter your preferences through the housing portal) will be honored whenever possible, providing both roommates submit their paperwork fully completed, and in the time frame necessary, and there are no residential college placement conflicts. You and your requested roommate must be of the same gender.

Residents without a roommate request will be matched with another resident, during our assignment process. You will receive your roommate’s contact information in July.

No, you do not have to pay a security deposit. However, you will still be financially liable for all damages beyond those of normal wear and tear as deemed appropriate by the Taylor Place staff. You will need to make sure that you take care of your room, clean often, and return your room to the condition that you received it.

For our current students, you will select your specific space when you renew your housing license for the 2010-2011 school year.

For our incoming freshmen and transfer students, we make community assignments on a rolling basis and notify students as those assignments are made.  So, you will receive an initial notification that you have been assigned to Taylor Place as soon as your application is fully processed and you are assigned to this community. Our goal is to confirm specific room and roommate assignments within the community by mid-late July 2010.  You will be able to view your room assignments from the Housing section of your MyASU portal.

When you submit an application, you are letting us know that you are interested in living at Taylor Place. There is no official agreement between you and Taylor Place with just your application. Fees associated with your application are non-refundable and non-transferable.

When you sign a license agreement, you are signing acceptance to live in Taylor Place for both the fall and spring semesters. 

If, during your occupancy, you cannot meet the requirements of the agreement you signed, you must inform Taylor Place staff immediately. Review the license agreement with anyone you need to consult about your decision, such as your family.

Cancellation of an application will result in the loss of your application fee.

Permitted cancellation of the license agreement will only be allowed on a limited basis and may be accompanied by a processing fee. Acceptable reasons for canceling a license agreement include: a) graduation from ASU; b) withdrawal/transfer from ASU; c) an academic internship sponsored by ASU that requires you to leave the Phoenix area; or d) military duty activation that requires you to withdraw from ASU.

The end of the school year can be a busy and confusing time for students as they juggle their exams, papers, travel plans, summer jobs and moving out of their housing.  We've prepared a booklet to help our current students prepare for and successfully manage their move out from Taylor Place. 

That booklet is located HERE.

Please don't hesitate to contact our office or your CA if you have questions.
