The term of this contract shall be indefinite, month-to- month for as long as the Student wishes to remain, fulfills the terms of the contract, and remains eligible for university housing. The Student remains eligible as long as they remain enrolled as a full-time Student with a minimum academic load of seven credit hours each quarter at the University. Summer Session and correspondence courses are excluded. Summer occupancy is contingent on registration for the following fall regular session as a full-time Student. [A Student may take over responsibility for an apartment by signing a new contract, if they have been a roommate for one full academic quarter (not including summer), has an apartment application on file, and is a registered Student.] All exceptions to eligibility requirements must be appealed and approved in writing to Housing and Residence Life. b.

If an additional payment is not made to bring the account up-to-date prior to the rent due date, the Student will be assessed a late fee.
