Rate Notice
If someone moves out of an apartment within
the first seven weeks of the semester, the
remaining resident(s) will be charged the pri-
vate rate, unless someone moves into the
apartment to replace the outgoing resident.
The resident who replaces the outgoing resi-
dent cannot be a current resident of another
apartment. If someone moves out of an apart-
ment on or after the first day of the eight
week of the semester, the remaining students
will not be charged the private rate for the
remainder of the semester. However, the
remaining residents will be charged the pri-
vate rate the following semester, unless some-
one moves into the apartment to replace the
outgoing resident. While the Office of Resi-
dence Life will provide assistance in finding a
resident to replace the outgoing resident, the
primary responsibility rests with the remain-
ing residents.
