1. Any student who is
currently enrolled
in at least six MUW credit hours during a fall or spring semester may
live in
the residence halls for that semester.
2. Students desiring to live
in the
residence halls must sign a contract for the academic year (August
through
May). Students wishing to opt out of
their
contract must present their reasons in writing to the Director of
Community
Living. Otherwise, students will be charged for the full
length of
their contract.
3. A non-refundable
application fee is
required with each individual housing application. There is no refund
of this
fee even if a student decides not to live in the residence halls.
4. All residence
hall
students must purchase a
meal plan option.
5. Commuting students and
faculty/staff
may stay in the residence halls at special rates for short periods of
time
provided arrangements are made through the Department
of Community Living.
6. Guests of resident students
are
permitted to stay overnight in the residence for a maximum of two
nights per
month. If this involves the use of a vacant room, a charge will be
assessed. An
overnight guest must be of the same sex as the host/hostess and must be
registered with the Community Advisor. Students are responsible for
their guest and
will be subject to disciplinary action if their guest violates housing
or
university regulations.
7. Periods of official
vacations and the
period between semesters are not included in the semester residence
hall fees. There
will be an additional charge for students remaining in university
housing after
the official closing time each semester.
8. Students will be assessed
for the cost
of damages to their rooms and may be assessed for damages to common
areas. Residents will also be assessed a fee for improper check
out if
they leave the halls without being checked out of their room by a
member of the
residence hall staff.
9. Failure to abide by the
published
residence life rules and regulations may result in loss of residence
hall
privileges.
