After being fully accepted to ASU, newly admitted students will apply online at www.asu.edu/housing.

Returning students can also apply to renew their current license for the upcoming year at www.asu.edu/housing.

If you have questions about the process, call us at 602-496-6711 or e-mail living@asu.edu

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.

The rates for the 2012-2013 academic year will be posted in March 2012.  More information can be found at:http://www.asu.edu/housing/applying-and-rates/2012-13.html

We are a proud to partner with ASU to provide housing exclusively to residents affiliated with ASU.  As part of that partnership, your charges for residing at Taylor Place are applied directly to your ASU student account.  You may work directly with ASU Financial Aid to determine how much you have been awarded toward your housing costs.

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.

Whether you are returning student or a newly admitted student, you will complete the application and licensing process online at www.asu.edu/housing.

A guarantor is someone (usually a parent or guardian) who agrees to be financially responsible if you cannot fulfill the obligation of the license agreement. Consider your Guaranty of Housing License your “co-signor.” All prospective residents, including independent and graduate students, are required to have a Guaranty of Housing License form on file in order to live in Taylor Place.

The Guaranty of Housing License must be signed in front of a Notary, who will then complete the form and apply a stamp or seal to validate it. In lieu of notarization, guarantors can provide a photocopy of their valid drivers’ license or government ID.

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.  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.

The Taylor Place License Agreement is a binding agreement that applies to both the fall and spring semesters. 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. 

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