Each student who resides in a residence hall at Hood College has the right to expect her room to be in good repair and to include basic furnishings of bed, mattress, desk, chair, closet space, and dresser. Hood College respects the student's right to select a room via the applicable room selection process. New students will be assigned housing for the fall semester during the summer by the Office of Residence Life. Resident students will be involved in the establishment of procedures and policies regarding residential living and in judicial proceedings addressing violations of procedures and policies.
Students elect their own representatives to govern their residence halls.
In order to ensure each student a residential living space, this deposit remains on file with the College until the student's graduation, transfer, change to commuter status, or withdraw from Hood. The deposit is refunded upon graduation, transfer, change to commuter status, or withdraw, less any charges of unpaid bills. All deposits held on file shall be forfeited if the registrar is not notified by the time stipulated. Students leaving residence due to a Hood academic program may be released from the contract, provided the arrangements for leaving residence are completed before registration day of the semester involved. Hood College offers an integrated room and board plan.
