Furniture or appliances may not be moved from one room to another or removed from the assigned unit without written permission from Housing. 15.

Termination of Contract: A) By the University for Default or Breach: The University may give the Student 10 days notice (Twenty-four or 48 hour notice of eviction if the student has been found in violation of the student judicial code or housing policies.) of intention to terminate this contract and may thereafter terminate the contract in the event of any of the following circumstances: 1) The Student is in default in payment of the contract for more than 10 days; 2) The Student breaches, violates, fails to perform or is in default of the performance of any of the terms and conditions or covenants of this contract. In the event this contract is terminated in accordance with the provisions of this section, the Student shall be required to surrender the assigned room and its fixtures to the University under the same terms, conditions, and covenants as would apply under this contract if the surrender were to take place at the completion of the contract. In the event that this contract is terminated for default or breach by the Student, the University may re-let the assigned room and fixtures or any part thereof in the name of the University on such terms and conditions as the University may determine. Loss of student status, including graduation, falls under this category and will result in contract cancellation. No termination of this contract in accordance with the provisions of this section shall relieve the Student of his/her liabilities and obligations under this contract. All such liabilities and obligations shall survive any such termination. The provisions of this section relating to the
rights of the University upon default or breach by the Student shall survive the termination or expiration of this contract. All Students requiring processing for termination for breach of contract or any part thereof are assessed an additional $50 fee to cover the processing costs.

The contract may be canceled with liquidated damages consisting of $200 (administration fee which equals the $200 deposit), $300 per term or any part thereof for housing, and $300 for dining per term remaining on the residence hall contract. Of the remaining balance on your residential meal plan, the current quarter dining dollars will be credited to your student account based on actual usage. The rollover dining dollars from previous quarter(s) will be moved to a meal plan designated for closed academic residence hall meals. The unused portion of this plan will revert to Dining Services at the end of the academic year. The rates set each year represent a commitment among the residents to support the total residential community with their payments and participation in the programming designed to enrich their college experience and increase their opportunity for academic and out-of-class learning success.
