Guide to Residence Living - Framingham State University

ROOM CHARGES
All students are responsible for paying room and board charges. Residents who
withdraw from on-campus housing will remain liable for room and board
charges for the term of the agreement, except as follows:
1. Withdrawal prior to occupancy – Residents who wish to withdraw from
housing prior to occupancy may obtain a refund on room fees provided
written notice of intention to withdraw is given to the associate dean of
students/director of residence life and judicial affairs by August 2, 2010
for the 2010-2011 academic year and, Framingham State is able to fill the
vacancy in the system created by the resident‟s withdrawal. The $150
“Housing Reservation Deposit,” however, is neither refundable, nor
transferable, and is forfeited upon withdrawal prior to occupancy.
2. Petition for individual exceptions due to the resident‟s inability to fulfill
the “Residence Hall License Agreement” can be made in accordance
with petition guidelines. Petition packets are available in the Office of
Residence Life and Judicial Affairs.
ELIGIBILITY FOR ON-CAMPUS HOUSING
To maintain eligibility for on-campus housing residents must:
1. Be a matriculated undergraduate student in good academic standing.
2. Register for undergraduate classes during the scheduled registration
period and by the last day of the previous semester.
3. Maintain student account in good standing and pay all bills on time.
4. Abide by all terms of the “Residence Hall License Agreement.”
5. Maintain a full course load.
It is important to maintain eligibility. Failure to maintain eligibility may result in
loss of on-campus housing without notice.
HOUSING GUIDELINES
MOVE-IN PROCEDURE
Move-in dates for the academic year are outlined in this guide as well as through
other communications. Residence hall opening and closing dates and times are
firm. When the residence halls are closed, there is no staff coverage, and
residents may not be present in the halls. Accordingly, residents may not come
earlier or leave later than designated times.
