Common use of Single Rooms Clause in Contracts

Single Rooms. A student resident may request a single room on a first-come, first-served basis based on availability. The University reserves the right to assign a student to a single room for uniquenecessary reasons. When the University finds it necessary to assign a single occupant to a double room or allows only one occupant to remain in a room normally occupied by two (2) persons, the Housing & Residential Education charge will be computed into a single room rate from the date that theperson occupied the room as a single, except where no roommates are available elsewhere in the housing system. Residents who find themselves without a roommate have three (3) choices: a) elect to contract for the same accommodations for the remainder of that semester and pay the single room rates, or b) consolidate with another resident of their own choosing, who is also a single occupant in a double room, or c) consolidate with a roommate chosen by the Housing & Residential Education staff. Students living alone will be charged at the single occupant rate. As of October 1, 2017, Housing & Residential Education states students with disabilities approved for single rooms, or other requested accommodations required by UNC’s Disability Resource Center, as housing accommodations are not charged a supplemental single-room premium or room buyout charge solely because of the need for the accommodation.
