Is parking available?
Billy Minardi Hall provides parking in the large lot that is adjacent to the building. There is always adequate parking to meet everyone's needs. A yellow parking pass must be purchased from the university parking office in order to park in the lot.

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. Billy Mindardi 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 Billy Mindardi 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.
Another option is to find another student to sub-lease the remainder of the lease agreement. Billy Mindardi Hall staff will not find another student to sub-lease for a resident; it is the resident's responsibility to find someone.
Any other questions may be directed to a member of the management team.
