Common use of Assignment Policy Clause in Contracts

Assignment Policy. University Housing will not discriminate in assignment to University Housing on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, disability, national origin, or ancestry. New residents who submit housing contracts by the deadline will be placed at random on a priority list for residence hall assignments. Most students are assigned to double rooms and share same-gender bathroom facilities located on each residence hall floor. If you receive a temporary Expanded Housing room assignment, you may not later request termination of your contract for that reason and you must accept a permanent assignment when offered. University Housing reserves the right to change room or hall assignments, to assign roommates, or to consolidate vacancies by requiring you to move from single occupancy of a double room to double occupancy of a double room in the same hall. If you are assigned to a space designated as temporary housing or expanded occupancy, you will be given a permanent assignment as soon as space permits. The move to a permanent assignment may require you to move to a different residence hall. Room rates are not adjusted for temporary housing. University Housing reserves the right to temporarily assign additional residents above the design capacity of designated rooms until permanent space becomes available. Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the University Residence Halls including student rooms and public areas such as lounges, lobby’s, hallways, and bathrooms. Smoking is also prohibited outside within 25 feet of any University Residence Hall. Although University Housing will do its best to honor student preferences for an assignment, there is not a guarantee of an assignment to a particular residence hall, learning community, or neighborhood. Failure to honor assignment preferences will not void the contract.
