Contractual Agreements

An application for Residence Hall Housing, accompanied by a $100 security reservation deposit, must be filed before the beginning of every semester with the Housing Office before a student can be assigned a room. The deposit is not a partial payment of room and board. A student who has a deposit on file with the college may have it carried forward to apply on the deposit requirement of the contract for the next academic term. A deposit is not required for students who attend only during summer sessions.

Payment of room rent entitles a student to occupy a residence hall only while the college is in session. It should be understood that room payment entitles a student only to a space in one of the residence halls. The Director of Housing reserves the right to require a student to move to any other available space if residence hall staff believes that such a change is in the best interests of the student or students involved.

Rooms are usually occupied by two persons, but the college reserves the right to assign more than two persons to a room if conditions make it necessary. Private rooms are available to non-freshmen on a limited basis for an additional charge unless the size of residence hall population necessitates double room occupancy.

Residence hall occupancy during any term expires the last day of the final examination period of the term. A student withdrawing from the college or terminating a residence hall contract must move from the hall by 5:00 PM on Friday of the week of this withdrawl or termination.

Assignment of residence hall rooms is the responsibility of the Housing Office.

Preferences for specific halls and roommates will be honored as much as possible, but the college reserves the right to make all the final decisions in assigning rooms and roommates. Room changes within a hall may be made with the approval of the Resident Director involved and with the knowledge of the Housing Office.
