With an increased number of classes online for Academic Year 2025-2026, the University is suspending the Frosh Live-On requirement. No Frosh students will be required to live on campus during the 2025-2026 academic year. Mandatory Frosh do not need to complete and submit an exemption form.
Additionally, aid provided by the school will generally only cover living expenses if you live on campus. In conclusion, living on-campus can be an affordable option for some students, while others may prefer the flexibility of off-campus housing. It ultimately depends on your individual situation and preferences.
Fill out the “petition to cancel” form, which can be picked up from the UHS front office or printed online at .housing.sjsu. Read all the instructions carefully. 2. Submit “petition to cancel” form along with all required documentation and letter of explanation.
Although University Housing Services strives to provide housing for all incoming frosh, there is no guarantee that all first-year frosh will be accommodated at the start of the academic year.
