South Hall Policy Changes for 2012-2013


There are some big changes for South Hall residents beginning Fall of 2012.  To fully understand all policies and changes, Residential Life strongly suggests that students fully review the 2012-2013 South Hall Housing Guide.  Changes to the South Hall Alcohol Policy, penalty fees and gender guidelines are outlined briefly below.

Alcohol:

Possession and/or consumption of alcohol is permitted in a South Hall apartment if all assigned residents are 21 years of age or older and have completed an alcohol education session provided by residence life staff.  Possession of an open container is prohibited in common areas and when guests are less than 21 years of age. Possession of large quantities, activities and devices facilitating or promoting excessive consumption of alcohol (including drinking games, funnels, kegs, etc.) are prohibited.

Cancellation Penalty Fees:

Cancellations received before April 1, 2012 (for the academic year) or before December 1, 2012 (for Spring semester) will not receive a penalty. After April 1, 2012 (for the academic year) or before December 1, 2012 (for Spring semester) a cancellation penalty equal to a 30 day daily rate of the space, will be assessed.  Click here to see the South Hall Cancellation Penalty Fee table.

Co-Ed Apartments:

Application to multiple bedroom units in South Hall is not restricted to same gender applicants.  Applicants must still apply with mutual requests from all proposed occupants.  As long as requests are mutual there is not designated gender ratio per apartment.
