How To Submit a Housing Appeal
Students may submit an appeal through the Housing Portal to dispute charges or request an exception to a housing policy or process. Email appeals will not be accepted. Appeals based solely on disagreement with policy or procedure will not be considered.
Appeals are reviewed case-by-case by the Housing Appeals Committee, which includes Housing Operations staff and campus partners. Students will receive a decision via their BYUH email within 3 weeks, though complex appeals may take longer due to follow-up or coordination with other departments.
To ensure timely review, appeals should be submitted well before relevant deadlines (e.g., Renew Contract, Change Room). For example, a student awaiting internship approval should submit their appeal at least 10 days before the renewal deadline and include the expected date of the decision.
Statute of Limitations
Appeals must be submitted within 1 year of the event.
Incomplete appeals will be returned without review, and original decisions will remain in effect.
Submitting an appeal does not guarantee approval.
