Shared Living Spaces
The follow policies apply to all of the housing styles.
Double-Occupancy Room with a Vacancy
Residents are not permitted to occupy or use any space in their unit to which they are not assigned. This includes vacant beds, bedrooms and/or a bathroom on an unoccupied side of a room, suite or apartment.
Residents found in violation of this policy will be responsible for all charges necessary to return the room(s) to a move-in ready state by Residential Life standards and may also be charged for occupying both spaces.
Room Consolidation
During the semester, if a resident moves out of a double/shared room and the remaining resident is not assigned a roommate; the remaining resident may be asked to select one of the following options:
- Choose to move into another half-filled room in the community.
- Find another resident willing to move into the current resident’s room.
- Remain in the room and be prepared to accept a new roommate anytime.
The consolidation policy does not require individuals to move out of their community. Instead, the resident must consolidate with another individual living alone in a double-occupancy room. If more than one resident in the same community is without a roommate, the individual who paid their housing contract last may be the one to move.
