Professional staff members in each hall assist students in planning activities that pro- mote their personal development. Residence halls are equipped with single beds, chests of drawers, desks, study lamps, wastebaskets, chairs, draperies, mattresses and mattress covers. Bed linen is furnished by the university. Coin-operated machines are available to students for personal laundering in some halls. Meals, prepared under the direction of experienced food service personnel, are served in two coeducational dining rooms in close proximity to each residence hall.
Every effort is made to provide a balanced, high-quality diet for the student.
All students who reside in university residence halls are required to sign a contract for room and board and are obligated to observe the terms and conditions of that contract for the academic year. Permission to leave a residence hall while under contract is granted in extreme emergencies and only by the Vice President for Student Affairs. If permission is granted, the student must withdraw properly by executing a withdrawal clearance through the Housing Office. A breach of the contract exists whenever a student fails to maintain full-time student status. The required room deposit must be paid before a housing contract is issued or a room assignment is made.
