Common use of Academic Standards Clause in Contracts

Academic Standards. If a student living in organizational housing drops below a 2.0 overall GPA or 2.0 on 12 hours from the previous semester, the student may submit a housing appeal to be considered for continued living in University Housing. Some organizations may require residents to maintain a higher grade point average than the University Housing minimum requirements. In the instance of the organization removing someone due to a low grade point average, the University Housing office will work with the resident for relocation based on space availability (subject to new rates and occupancy terms). Returning Residents: Academic appeals for University Housing must be submitted to the housing office by the stated deadline in the Resident Guidebook. Appeals will not be accepted after the deadline. If the student’s appeal for the forthcoming semester is denied or if the student did not appeal, the student will be required to move out by the date stated in the Resident Guidebook. If a student is not checked out by the deadline, the student will be fined $250 plus a daily room rate until the student is checked out, and the student’s property may be removed from the assigned residence along with a $300 disposal fee. The University will not be responsible for any damage or loss of property during the process.
