Arrangements for ALL guests (same gender) must be made in advance with the Office of Student Life.
Fees for guest(s) staying more than three (3) nights will be billed to the account of the resident. The Student will be responsible for any loss or damage caused by themselves or their guest(s) through carelessness, by accident, or willful intent to the furniture, furnishings, equipment, or buildings which the leased space is a part.

The Student will not assign any rights under this contract or sublet or permit any other person to occupy the assigned room in the hall unless specifically authorized by the University in writing. The student agrees to comply with all rules and regulations of the Hall and of the University as set forth in the Student Handbook, and the Student agrees to comply with all applicable federal and state laws. The University may make reasonable additions to or changes in existing rules and regulations as deemed necessary. 

Living on campus implies acceptance of a residential contract and all related policies whether or not a contract submission is on file in the Office of Student Life.

The University's personnel may enter the Student's room at any reasonable time without prior notice for the purpose of maintenance repairs, in the case of an emergency, in the case of the necessary evacuation of the building, in the protection of University property, for security reasons or with prior notice. The University's personnel may enter the room for other reasons in the presence of the Student. If the room is found to be in other than a clean and sanitary condition in the University's opinion, the University will notify the Student, and if the condition is not corrected within 24 hours, the University may have the room cleaned and the Student will be responsible for the cost of restoring the room to a clean and sanitary condition.

The University does not assume responsibility for the theft, loss, damage or destruction of personal property kept in the Residence Hall. It is recommended that Students insure their own personal property.
