Johnson & Wales University-Denver requires all full-time undergraduate students to live on campus for
the first 2 years of enrollment unless certain requirements are met. If a student meets any of the below
requirements they are able to request an exemption from the live on requirement. We will typically
grant exemptions for the following reason: you are over the age of 21, you are married, you are a
transfer student, you are a parent, or you will be living with a relative within 20 miles of the university.
In the event significant and unforeseen circumstances hinder a student’s ability to live on campus, this
form must be submitted to reslife.den@jwu.edu. Requests for release will be reviewed by the Contract
Exemption Committee and termination of the requirements is not guaranteed. Note: Moving in with
friends or committing to a lease off campus is not considered grounds for release from your JWU
live-on requirement.
Reason for Exemption

Please check all that apply.

primary caregiver; marriage; family obligations - change in family status due to family member heath
issues, need for additional care, death.) Supporting documentation must be submitted to the Contract
