Resident Activity Fee
Once the semester begins, the $20 resident activity fee is no longer refundable.
Room Assignments
Whenever possible, room assignments are made in accordance with requests stated on
the Residence Hall Agreement; however, the University reserves the right to make room
assignments or room changes at its discretion. This agreement does not guarantee a specific
room or room type. Assignments are made without regard to race, religion, age, color, creed,
sex, marital status, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, disability, genetic predisposition
or carrier status, veteran status, status as a disabled or Vietnam-era veteran or any other basis
protected by applicable local, state or federal law.
Residents must personally claim their residence hall space by 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, August
29, 2013. Space not claimed by that time will be forfeited. Please refer to the Directory of
Classes for the refund schedule.
Cancellation/Termination of the Agreement by the University
The University may terminate its agreement with the student at any time in the event of a
resident’s violation of University policies governing student conduct, residence hall regulations,
nonpayment or for health, safety or behavioral reasons. When a student withdraws from the
University, this agreement is automatically terminated, although financial obligations as stated
in the Undergraduate Bulletin, the Graduate Bulletin, the Room Inventory and Condition
Record, the Guide to Student Life and the Directory of Classes are not excused if the occurrence
is outside the University room refund schedule. A student who is dismissed from the University
or housing for misconduct, or who withdraws when under investigation for misconduct,
shall not have housing fees refunded. This agreement automatically terminates upon a
student’s graduation.
*Conditions of this agreement may be subject to change.
Residence Hall Agreement FAQs
students.adelphi.edu/sa/rlh/apply.php
Do I have to sign a Residence Hall Agreement
Yes. All residents must agree to the terms of the agreement to meet certain responsibilities and
expectations of the University. The Residence Hall Agreement is binding from the time you first
assume occupancy of your room (signing for your keys or obtaining swipe-card access) at the
beginning of the academic year until the end of that academic year. You will be held financially
liable for the academic year as long as you continue to be a registered student. Requests to be
released from the annual agreement are considered by a special committee. A request must be
submitted in writing to the Office of Residential Life and Housing via email to
housing@adelphi.edu. Before submitting your request to be released, you should read the
University’s proration and refund policy at students.adelphi.edu/sa/rlh/costs_refunds.php.
Proration information is also available in the Directory of Classes publication. The Office of
Residential Life and Housing cannot alter the proration schedule.
Can I be released from my Residence Hall Agreement midyear
The Residence Hall Agreement is binding for the duration of the academic year. If you require
a midyear release, you must apply in writing to the director of residential life and housing and
submit your request via email to housing@adelphi.edu prior to the first day of December. All
applications will be reviewed by a special committee and you will be notified in writing of its
decision.
