in exchange for a space in residence at Sweet Briar College during the Summer of 2008

from (check-in)________________________to (check-out)_____________________________, understand and agree to the following:
  • Summer residence facilities will open at 3:00 p.m. Sunday, May 18, 2008 with room check-in from 3:00 - 5:00 pm. Arrangements for room check-in after May 18 will need to be made with the ResHall RC.
  • College residence facilities must be vacated by 3:00 PM on Saturday, July 12, 2008. No housing in residence halls is available after that date.
  • Students may move in up to 48 hours before their summer campus job, internship, or course, begins, but not before May 18 and must move out within 48 hours of its completion, and no later than Saturday July 12, 2008.
  • The cost per person for a room is $60 per week, and you are financially responsible for weekly rent for the duration of your contract period. Rent must be paid each Monday by noon; checks should be made payable to "SBC". Should payments become delinquent, the College is authorized to deduct this amount from any wages due, or put a hold on the student's fall registration.
  • A room reservation deposit of one week's rent is due at the time of the submission of this form. This deposit can be used for your FIRST week's rent payment.
  • The selected summer residence hall will depend on the number of students applying for housing.
  • LIMITED College food service will be available on campus, beginning in June. Kitchen facilities will be available in the selected residence hall. Meals may not be charged to Sweet Briar student accounts.
  • The Student Health Center and the Office of Co-Curricular Life will not be open during the summer. Reid Pit is also off-limits to summer dorm residents. Students must be prepared to provide for their own health, transportation, and recreation needs. In case of an emergency, contact Campus Police.
  • The College reserves the right to assign and reassign students and rooms as is deemed necessary by the Summer housing staff (RA & RC), Honors Program staff, or Dean's Office. In addition, no resident may refuse another assigned student the use of an unoccupied space.
  • All keys issued are the property of the College. Keys may not be duplicated or transferred to other persons. Failure to return keys and lost or stolen keys will result in all appropriate lock cylinders being changed and the cost charged to the student. Students residing in the summer residence hall will only have access to that building. No other residence halls will be accessible.
  • No housing changes may take place without proper authorization from the ResHall RC and Honors Program Summer staff.
  • Individual room air-conditioning window-units are NOT ALLOWED.
  • Students residing in the residence hall during the summer months are permitted to have guests. However, they are limited to one guest staying over night. Overnight guests may only stay a maximum of three nights in any 10-day period. All guests staying over night must register at the Campus Inn Information Center and pay a $10.00 per night fee.
  • Students are responsible for the condition and furnishings of their assigned spaces and will be charged for any damage/loss that may occur during their occupancy. Students will be assessed a charge when beds are left unassembled, personal possessions are not removed, and the room is not adequately cleaned. All room-altering restrictions in effect during the academic year, apply to summer housing, as well.
  • No pets OF ANY KIND are allowed in the ResHall rooms, or common areas.
  • Residents can be held collectively responsible for damage and/or loss to College property in common areas, unless one or more residents assume responsibility.
  • If a student leaves or changes residence without completing proper paperwork with Summer housing staff (RA or RC) and/or fail to return keys, College staff will judge the condition of the room. In such cases, all subsequent charges for damage assessed by the College may not be appealed.
  • The College reserves the right to enter students' resident space for routine and immediate maintenance, in an emergency involving danger to life or property, for the purpose of health and safety inspections, when a condition is observed that is prohibited by this agreement, the Terms and Conditions of Residency, the Student Handbook, and/or the College Catalog, and/or when it is reasonably believed a resident is using a space in a manner contrary to the provisions of this agreement.
  • During the summer, ResHall rooms may be occupied by persons other than regularly enrolled Sweet Briar College students. As such, all persons, regardless of sex, age, etc. may be asked to share bathrooms, public areas, etc.
  • All students who have graduated from Sweet Briar and remain on campus during the summer months will abide by the rules set forth for all students on campus during the summer months. Failure to do so will result in the student being asked to leave campus.
  • Living on campus is a privilege and not a right. Sweet Briar College reserves the right using established procedures to withdraw accommodations and students forfeit the privilege of residing in a residence hall under any of the following conditions: for health and safety reasons; to seek disciplinary action; ceasing to be a registered, full time student at Sweet Briar College; for non-payment of bills.
  • Each student is responsible for reading, understanding and abiding by the Terms and Conditions for Residency, the Student Handbook, and the College Catalog. All college policies are in effect in the summer. Should violations occur to any policies, students may assume disciplinary consequences including possible revocation of summer residency.
