A yellow parking pass must be purchased from the university parking office in order to park in the lot. However, residents of Bettie Johnson Hall are not required to pay for the pass because the cost has been included in the rent amount.

Can I request an apartment or roommates?
Yes! We try our best to accommodate our residents apartment assignment request. If a resident wishes to room with certain people, it should be indicated on the back of their application. Bettie Johnson Hall will only honor mutual roommate requests. If a change occurs after the initial application has been turned in, a resident can call the office at (502) 854-9011 to make a new request. However, the closer it gets to move-in, it becomes more difficult to accommodate these requests so any requests cannot be guaranteed.

What if I need to cancel my lease?
Just like with any other housing facilities, the lease for Bettie Johnson Hall is a binding contract. However, if a special circumstance arises then a resident may fill out a lease cancellation form and turn it in to the front desk. This form does NOT guarantee that the resident will be released from his/her lease agreement with out financial penalty.
Any other questions may be directed to a member of the management team.
