Dear Allegheny Students,
We want to update those of you who are still weighing your options for Spring 2021 and deciding if you will return to campus or take classes remotely.
At this point in the semester, it is too late to switch from remote to on-campus or commuter. However, students may still choose to switch from on-campus or commuter to remote, with the following deadlines and conditions. These are the same conditions as were in effect for Fall 2020. Please see here for the full refund policy.
Students wishing to change their residency status to remote should email spring2021@allegheny.edu.
- Before 5:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern time on Thursday, February 4, students may switch to remote without penalty, fee, or charge.
- Between 5:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern time on Thursday, February 4 and the time they move in, students may switch to remote and will be charged a $600 cancellation fee. Room charges left after the $600 is deducted and all board charges will be refunded.
- After a student moves in, they may switch to remote and will be charged a $600 cancellation fee. They will receive a prorated refund of room and board (not tuition and fees) through the 60% mark of the semester.
- After the 60% mark of the semester, students may switch to remote and will receive no refund of room or board and will not owe any additional fees as a result of moving out.
The date for the 60% mark of the semester will be posted here.
If a student elects to switch to living and learning remotely after they move in, they should email spring2021@allegheny.edu. They will need to vacate their residence within 48 hours of that notice and will need to clear the room of all of their belongings.
Students who have already declared their intent to live and learn remotely, either through the initial form last semester or through an email to fall2020@allegheny.edu or spring2021@allegheny.edu, should please check their bill to ensure their housing and meal plan have been removed before the February 4 deadline; if they have not, please re-confirm your intention to be remote at spring2021@allegheny.edu.
Please let us know if you have any questions and good luck with the remainder of Module 1.
Best wishes,
