Room Assignments A. It is the policy of University to assign roommates without regard to veteran status, race, religion, age, sexual preference, disabilities, or national origin. Generally, Student may request to live with a designated student based on a self-selection process. In this instance, Student preference profiles may be considered by Student but will not be considered by University. If Student does not self-select a room space, University will assign a space to the Student. Alternatively, University may try to match roommates based on Student preference profiles. In any case, University cannot guarantee requested preferences in the room assignment process. University may assign or reassign Student without regard to requested preferences to a specific hall, room or roommate.
B. If Student executes multiple contracts for housing accommodations in University-Owned and managed properties for an overlapping academic term, University may terminate the earliest executed contract(s). In such instance, University will email contract termination notice to Student in accordance with Section XVII.
C. Students without disabilities may reside in Residence Hall rooms which have been specifically designed to accommodate persons with disabilities. In the event a Residence Hall room is needed to accommodate a person with a disability, Student may be required to relocate to alternate University Campus Housing accommodations. In this instance, University shall pay reasonable moving expenses to relocate occupant(s) to alternate accommodations. In this instance, University shall provide no less than three (3) days written notice prior to terminating the existing Contract. In addition, University will also credit $300 to each relocated student in appreciation of any inconvenience the student may experience.
D. If permanent space is not available, the UT Arlington Housing Office may place Student in temporary space until permanent space is available. During this period, Student will earn a 25% credit on the daily rate of the room portion of the Contract. If the UT Arlington Housing Office places Student in a temporary space, Student is bound to the terms and conditions of the Contract through the fifth class day. After the fifth class day and before the UT Arlington Housing Office offers Student permanent space, Student may cancel the Contract upon written notice and payment of the prorated amount under the Contract for the number of days that Student occupied the temporary space.
E. Only the person(s) assigned by the UT Arlington Housing Office to Student’s room may reside in the room. The UT Arlington Housing Office reserves the right to make changes in room assignments for such reasons as the UT Arlington Housing Office determines to be appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, roommate conflicts, pending disciplinary action, non-compliance with University Regulations, and disruptions to the community.
F. If Student fails to move to a new location within the Residence Halls within twenty-four hours after the UT Arlington Housing Office has issued to Student authorization or direction to move, Student may be assessed an improper check out fee and referred to the Office of Community Standards for disciplinary action.
G. Single occupancy in double rooms is allowed only on University’s prior approval, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Requests for single occupancy must be submitted in writing to the Leasing Consultant in University Housing Office for approval. Single room occupancy in rooms designated as double occupancy will be charged at one and seven-tenths (1.7) times the double room rate. If the University has a waitlist for Residence Hall bed space, single room contracts may be changed to double room contracts. University will provide to Student a forty-eight (48) hour notice and the rent will be adjusted accordingly.
H. If Student's roommate vacates the double room or if Student’s suitemates all vacate the suite, Xxxxxxx agrees to accept another roommate or suitemate as assigned. Student may be asked to move to another room if requested by the UT Arlington Housing Office. Failure to move may result in Student being charged a single room rate and improper check out fee in addition to a referral to the Office of Community Standards for disciplinary action.
I. Room changes may be made only with the approval of the Residence Director. Hall and/or room type changes may be made only with approval of the UT Arlington Housing Office. Students who complete a hall and/or room type change will be required to sign a new contract. Once signed, no changes will be made to the contract until two weeks after the Residence Halls open. Requests for changes will be accepted on opening day and afterwards.
J. University reserves the right to consolidate vacancies and close all or part of Residence Halls.
Overtime Assignments 1. In classifications where employees are eligible for overtime pay, overtime work shall be offered to employees within the work location involved from the appropriate work group in continuing rotation on the basis of seniority. Each employee shall be selected in turn according to his/her place on the seniority list by rotation provided, however, the employee whose turn it is to work possesses the qualifications, training and ability to perform the specific work required.
2. An employee requesting to be skipped when it becomes his/her turn to work overtime shall not be rescheduled for overtime work until his/her name is reached again in orderly sequence and an appropriate notation shall be made on the overtime roster.
3. In the event no employee accepts required overtime work, the State shall assign employees within the work location involved from the appropriate work group to perform the overtime work by continuing rotation in inverse order of seniority. Employees who are unavailable, including employees who are on vacation, sick leave or other approved leaves of absence, and employees for whom the requirement of overtime work would cause undue hardship, shall be excused from a required overtime assignment. Employees so excused shall not lose their eligibility for overtime work within the then current rotation.
4. Work in progress, when appropriate, shall be completed by the employee performing the work at the time the determination is made that overtime is required except that an employee for whom the requirement of overtime work would cause undue hardship shall be excused from the overtime assignment.
