Roommate Vacancies. University has final determination in filling vacancies through the consolidation process which occur in a double room prior. Resident understands that University reserves the right to charge the Resident the single room rate if the personal behavior of the Resident interferes with or thwarts the usual roommate assignment process. If a vacancy occurs in the assigned room, the remaining Resident(s) agree to accept other roommates as assigned. If occupying a double room alone, the Resident agrees that they may be expected to move to another room or accept a roommate on a forty-eight (48) hours notice or pay the single rate. SOU reserves the right and discretion to determine the appropriate use of all vacant space.
Roommate Vacancies. In all cases where a Room is occupied by two or more residents, each occupant will be charged the appropriate double- or triple-Room rate. When a vacancy occurs in a double or triple Room, University Housing reserves the right to require of the remaining resident(s) one or more of the following options depending upon administrative needs:
Roommate Vacancies. When a vacancy occurs in a multiple occupancy room, the remaining occupant(s) must be willing to accept a new roommate or move into another room where there is a vacancy. If there are no other multiple occupancy rooms with vacancies, the student(s) occupying the multiple-occupant room alone will continue to be charged the multiple rate as long as they occupy only half of the space. If there are other roommate options or other multiple-occupant rooms in which to move, and the occupant(s) chooses not to accept either alternative, he/she/they may be subject to the University conduct process for failure to comply with a University directive and may also receive additional housing fees and/or fines. Freshmen cannot have single status except by permission of the Office of Residence Life. Sophomores are allowed single status beginning spring semester or by permission of the Office of Residence Life. If single occupancy is desired, the student will be charged the single-room rate and moved to a room subject to conditions in section #7. If there is a vacancy in a student’s room during this contract, refusal (including, but not limited to verbal, behavioral, or other means of rejection) of a roommate, unwillingness to work with the Office of Residence Life in finding a roommate, or if the room is not ready (the definition of ready is bed, desk, drawers, wardrobe, bookshelf, and half the walls free of any items) for an incoming student, the student(s) may be subject to the University conduct process for failure to comply with a University directive and may also receive additional housing fees and/or fines.
Roommate Vacancies. When a vacancy occurs in a multiple occupancy room and continued multiple status is desired, the remaining occupant must actively participate in finding a new roommate; move into another room where there is a vacancy; or occupy only half of the room to allow for another roommate assignment. If the room is designated as a multiple occupancy room, and the remaining occupant desires to use the entire room rather than move or accept a new roommate, the single room rate will be applied, provided space is available. Students may be moved to a new room subject to conditions in section 8 above. If there is a vacancy in a student’s room during this contract, refusal (including, but not limited to verbal, behavioral, or other means of rejection) of a roommate or unwillingness to work with the Office of Residence Life in finding a roommate will result in single occupancy status and single occupancy charges will be applied. Refusal of a roommate, as it is defined above, may also result in a new living assignment (to another room) and/or disciplinary action. University personnel will check all rooms with vacancies. If a room is not ready (the definition of ready is bed, desk and drawers, wardrobe, bookshelf, and half the wall space free of any items) for an incoming student, the remaining student(s) will be charged the single or higher room rate. Photos/video may be taken of rooms deemed not ready for purposes of documentation only.
