The RA Appointment Agreement outlines the dates, responsibilities, and expectations of the RA position. Anything beyond those dates does not fall under CHAS. Non-returning Graduate RAs seeking an extension of housing after the end of the appointment agreement must arrange for summer housing through the Residential Services and contact at living@upenn.edu .
This exception form is only for requesting exceptions for mandatory training, House opening, and House closing. Any other requests should be made to your House Director directly.
Exceptions are based on academic or religious requirements. A request for an exception must be made no less than 4 weeks in advance. CHAS, which also includes the House Director, will review the request, and the outcome will be reported back within a reasonable time.
If you have any questions regarding this process, please email chas@collegehouses.upenn.edu. Thank you.
