Termination of the Housing and Food Service Agreement by Northwest Missouri State University. Dismissal of a student from the University, Residence Halls or Apartments for any reason shall constitute grounds for termination of the Housing and Food Services Agreement. Forfeitures, cancellation fees and pro-rated refunds will be made as established by the University Bursar’s Office. Students removed from housing because of disciplinary action will be charged the cancellation fees. The University reserves the right, at its discretion, to determine that past behavior and/or criminal activity is such that the interests of the University, the student and/or other students would be best served by alteration or cancellation of the housing agreement. If the University becomes aware that a student has a record of criminal conviction(s) or other actions indicating behavior that could pose a risk to person or property and/or could be injurious or disruptive to the residence hall community or the living-learning environment, the University may not accept or may cancel the Housing and Food Services Agreement. Registered sex offenders are not allowed to live on campus due to the Xxxxxx Xxxx Laboratory School and Missouri Academy of Science, Mathematics and Computing at Northwest. For students enrolling in the fall trimester, the Housing and Food Services Agreement is for the entire academic year. Release at the end of the fall trimester is not automatic and should not be assumed. Residents with extreme and unusual circumstances may wish to be released from their agreement. In view of its own obligations, the University is limited in its ability to release students from their agreement. Thus, the University considers only those requests where residents have incurred a significant change in their circumstances, beyond their control, since the date their agreement was signed. Weight loss programs and commercial weight loss programs (i.e. Weight Watchers, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Nutrisystem, etc.) are not reasons for release from meal plans. Residents should not forego the use of services or make any future commitments until they are officially released.
