Info

Residents who withdraw from Framingham State or from housing must check out within 24 hours of their withdrawal date. The check out date is the basis for refunds, if any. In the event that a resident checks out of his/her assigned room, without checking into another room on campus within two business days, the Office of Residence Life and Judicial Affairs will consider this action as a termination of the “Residence Hall License Agreement” and the room will be reassigned. The resident remains responsible for charges for the full term of the “Residence Hall License Agreement.” EMERGENCY INFORMATION CARD At the beginning of the academic year, or whenever a resident changes residence halls, he or she will be asked to fill out an “Emergency Information Card” which the resident director will keep on file. In an emergency, residence life staff will use the card to determine who to contact. This card should include emergency contact and important medical information, including allergies, and medications being taken. Residents are strongly advised to work with family and have a personal/family emergency plan in place. CARD ACCESS AND VIDEO MONITORING All residence halls are equipped with a card access and video monitoring system. This state-of-the-art system allows each resident‟s identification card to function as a combination residence hall front door key, meal card, and library card. The card access and video monitoring system helps limit access to the halls to authorized individuals only. To obtain a new ID, visit the ID office adjacent to the Framingham State Police Department during posted hours. KEYS/LOCKOUTS Each resident will receive one key which opens his or her room. If you are locked out between the hours of 8 p.m. and 8 a.m., an RA on duty can assist you when cleared from other responsibilities. At times other than those stated above, you must seek out a roommate or residence hall staff member. You can contact a residence hall staff member by informing the security desk attendant (at the security desk) that you are locked out. Since staff members are students also, you need to respect their personal and academic needs and understand that they might not be available to immediately help students who are locked out of their rooms. 14
MEDICAL/PSYCHOLOGICAL SITUATION The associate dean of students/director of residence life and judicial affairs reserves the right to take any necessary and appropriate action to protect the safety and well-being of the residence hall community and its members. This includes the right to terminate the “Residence Hall License Agreement” for sufficient medical or psychological reasons. Any student who wishes to return to housing after having been removed for medical or psychological reasons must reapply. Readmission to on-campus housing is subject to the approval of the associate dean of students/director of residence life and judicial affairs. HOUSING WAIT LIST Commuter students interested in becoming resident students may apply via the housing waitlist.” A $150 wait list deposit and completed “Housing Waitlist Application” are required. The application is available in the Office of Residence Life and Judicial Affairs. PETS Pets in a residence hall community can create many problems, including safety, cleanliness, noise, and health problems. For the safety, health, and well-being of all residents, No Pets are allowed in a residence hall except fish kept in a tank with a capacity of 10 gallons or less. Fish may not be left in the residence halls between the fall and spring semesters. POSTING POLICY In residence hall common areas, Framingham State sponsored (departments and/or recognized clubs or organizations) postings may only be made on designated bulletin boards or posting areas by residence life staff members. Postings must be registered with and approved by the Office of Residence Life and Judicial Affairs. RIGHT TO FILL A VACANCY A student living in a multiple occupancy room with one or more vacancies must maintain that space in the event that space is needed for another student. Accordingly, the vacant bed, desk, dresser and closet/wardrobe must be open and ready for use. While efforts will be made to notify residents that a new occupant is moving into a vacancy, the Office of Residence Life and Judicial Affairs reserves the right to fill vacant spaces without prior notice. 15
