6.5 Summer Housing
All currently admitted Kent State University students are eligible for on campus summer session
housing. Summer housing is available in designated building(s) for the period immediately
following the end of the spring semester as well as the university designated summer
sessions. Summer housing is billed on a weekly basis. Details of summer housing for the
summer 2012 term will be available on the Department of Residence Services website (www.

6.6 Sales and Solicitation
Door-to-door sales and solicitation in residence halls and academic and administrative buildings
are expressly prohibited. An individual or group may not operate a business enterprise
of any sort in the residence halls without the prior written approval of the Director of Residence
Services.
Solicitation is defined as any effort to ask for donations or contributions of money, goods or
services.
Sales are defined as the efforts to offer a product or service in return for money, goods or
other services with the intention for profit or service. Solicitation and sales strictly among
the membership of a particular recognized student organization by members of that group
do not come under this policy, but are governed by other university regulations. Refer to the
university’s Policy Register or the Center for Student Involvement.
Though door-to-door sales and solicitation is prohibited, some sales and solicitation is allowed
in certain designated areas. Please refer to the following guidelines:
Guidelines for sales and solicitation in designated residence hall areas
1. Sales/solicitation within any residence hall community areas or public lounges
require application to and approval by the Coordinator, Residential Communities
or Associate Director at least 10 days in advance unless the Coordinator, Residential
Communities or Associate Director deems otherwise. An organization or
individual may not sell or solicit on more than seven days in any month. Length
of time on any given day will be determined by the Coordinator, Residential
Communities or Associate Director.
2. Any food sales must comply with the university’s guidelines for distribution of
food.
