Double Room Buy. Out After September 13, 2021, Residents who find themselves in double rooms (MaGrath Valley or Erindale Hall) without a roommate may be contacted by Student Housing & Residence Life and may opt to buy out the second bed in the room, alleviating them from the chance of having another individual assigned to that space. The space would be treated as a single occupancy for the remainder of the academic year. Residence fees would be converted to that of a single occupancy unit and prorated to the date of the buyout. Student Housing & Residence Life reserves the right to approve or deny requests at its sole and absolute discretion. Students cannot initiate a buy out after another resident has been offered or assigned to that room. A student in a suite can buy out the second bed within their assigned bedroom, but there is no option for residents to buy out the second bedroom of a unit if it is fully vacant. The second set of furniture provided in the student bedroom is not removed for a double room buy out; guest privileges, as outlined in section 9.5, still apply.
