Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Amendments to the University of Washington's rules for student housing are proposed to limit the scope of the rules to the Seattle campus, to update the types of housing now offered to students, and to streamline administrative practices.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: In addition to updating these rules according to the types of housing currently offered, these rules will be limited to the UW Seattle campus, allowing other student housing options to be developed for the UW Bothell and UW Tacoma campuses as the need arises.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 28B.15.031 and 28B.20.130.

No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. These rules do not impose a disproportionate impact on small businesses or affect a school district under Title 28A RCW.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The University of Washington does not consider these to be significant legislative rules.
