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. 12
NO SHOW/FAILURE TO CHECK-IN In the event that the resident fails to check-in or otherwise notifies the associate dean of students/director of residence life and judicial affairs of his/her whereabouts and intention to not check-in prior to the first day of classes in any semester, Framingham State will, at its discretion, change the student‟s status to commuter and/or reassign the resident. DISABILITY/UNANTICIPATED INJURY If a resident should experience any injury or disability that affects his/her housing placement at any time after participating in room selection or, for new students, after submitting their housing application, the resident should immediately contact the Office of Residence Life and Judicial Affairs as well as the director of academic support/disability services. Requests for accommodation should be made in writing and be accompanied by appropriate supportive documentation. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE In order to check out of a residence hall room at the end of occupancy please: 1. Adhere to all posted and explained check-out policies specific to your hall. 2. Clean your room prior to vacating so that it is in the same condition as it was upon check-in. Refrigerators, stoves, and cabinets in common areas must also be cleaned. 3. Check-out with a resident assistant or by completing an express checkout when leaving residence halls permanently or for summer break. Express check-out envelopes are available in each residence hall lobby. 4. Turn in all keys during scheduled check-out time or with express checkout envelope. 5. Check and empty mailbox at the end of the academic year. 6. Remove all personal belongings from the hall at the end of the occupancy term. Personal belongings left in the hall, or attached to residence hall property (e.g. bicycle racks) will be considered discarded property and will be discarded. Residents are required to leave the residence hall by 6 p.m. on the final day of classes before vacation and/or break periods. At the end of each semester, residents are required to leave the residence halls within 24 hours following their last exam, or, by 6 p.m. on the final day of exams, whichever occurs first. 13
