Residential Life

Assignments - Policies and Information

All students living on-campus in a College residence must sign a Housing Agreement Form. With this Agreement, a student is assigned a space in the residences and provided with common telephone service. This Agreement constitutes a contract between residents and the College. The agreement remains in effect in the event of an official room change. Assignments may not be transferred to another student. The agreement period begins on the Move-In date designated for the student resident and on the Move-Out date designated for the student resident. These dates are set forth in by the College and can be viewed on the Academic Calendar.

All rules of the College and the Department, including those published in the Student Handbook and Residential Life Guide are incorporated in the Occupancy Agreement. Residents are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that demonstrates respect for fellow residents and guests.

The Office of Residential Life seeks maximum occupancy throughout the year. In the event that a vacancy arises in your room, you should expect a new roommate at any time. You will not be notified in advance. If you discourage or fail to accept an assigned roommate, you may be subject to disciplinary action that may include termination of your Occupancy Agreement.

Examples of discouragement include obvious/subtle verbal statements or occupying a greater area than your assigned space.

The beginning of the spring semester is a time when a large number of new assignments are made. If you have a vacancy in your room, be sure the space is clean and available before you leave for winter break. If the space is not ready for another occupant, staff will arrange to move your belongings, at your expense, to make space for the new resident. Failure to comply may lead you to be subject to disciplinary action including restitution.

No change in room(s) occupancy shall be made without the prior consent from the Office of Residential Life. The College reserves the right to change the capacity of the room(s) permanently or temporarily. Reassignment to another room is to be authorized by the Office of Residential Life.
