Request for Release Ineligibility. If a student is suspended from the residence halls and/or the University, the student remains bound to the Contract and will be responsible for the full cost of the residence hall space for the remainder of the semester in which disciplinary action is finalized, unless this action is finalized before the end of the semester's free drop/add period. If this action is taken after the close of the Fall Semester but before the beginning of Spring Semester, the Student will be billed a $300 late cancellation fee and one month’s rent. Vacancies and Room Changes Students may request to move from one room to another with authorization from Residence Life & Housing at designated times during the Academic year. The exchange of rooms or substitution of one occupant for another without approval from Residence Life & Housing is prohibited. The procedure for room changes are set forth on the Residence Life & Housing website. To maximize occupancy, Residence Life & Housing has the right to consolidate rooms and move students if a vacant same gender space exists which is similar to the original assignment in order to create an open room. Consolidation may happen at any time of the year. Students may not intentionally dissuade or discourage newly assigned roommates from moving into the room. Intimidating a newly assigned student is a policy violation, which can lead to termination of the residence hall space without release from the financial obligation of the Student Housing Contract. The University reserves the right to change or cancel room assignments in the interests of order, health, safety, or welfare with appropriate written notice.
Request for Release Ineligibility. If a student is suspended from on-campus housing and/or the College, the student remains bound to the License and will be responsible for the full cost of their housing and dining license for the remainder of the semester in which disciplinary action is finalized. If this action is taken after the close of the fall semester, but before the beginning of the spring semester, the Student will be billed the $300 release fee. Use of Residential Facilities Residential facilities may be occupied only by the resident(s) assigned to that community as outlined in the Use of Residential Facilities, Rules Governing Residential Facilities and Covid-19 Safety Requirements sections of the Resident Student Handbook. Information pertaining to the Use, Care, and Responsibility for Room and Furnishing is also available in the handbook. Vacancies and Room Buy-Out The College may reassign a vacant space in a room or townhouse at any time. While efforts are made to notify students of any changes, a new roommate may be assigned without prior notification. If a room is not entirely occupied and Residence Life and Housing does not anticipate assigning an eligible new roommate, the student may be offered an opportunity to pay a "buy out" rate for the vacant space from the date of vacancy through the remainder of the semester to ensure that the space remains vacant. This requires the signing of an additional agreement. If the student buys out a space for Fall Semester and space demand is high for Spring Semester, Residence Life and Housing may assign a student to that space for either or both of those terms. This option is not available when housing demand is high. If a student "buys out" a space in a room, the extra furniture will not be removed.
