SUBJECT: RESIDENCE HALLS - PLAINVIEW CAMPUS

Requirements - All single students enrolled for seven or more hours are required to live in a residence hall and take meals in the university dining hall unless one of the following provisions is met: the student has attained the twenty-third birthday; the student is classified as a senior; or, the student is classified as commuter student living with family in Hale, Floyd, Lamb, Lubbock or Swisher county. The executive director of student services may excuse for other reasons on an "as needed" basis.

Deposits - All students must have a room deposit on account in the business office prior to moving into a residence hall. This deposit is partially refundable upon the student's completion of checkout procedures. This deposit is not transferable to university-owned off-campus housing. The deposit is applied to the student's account if the student owes any money or if room damages have been incurred during residence to the university at time of checkout.

Students who apply for and are assigned a residence hall room and choose to not attend the university must request a refund of the deposit prior to August 1, if application is for a fall semester, and prior to December 1, if application is for a spring semester.

Private rooms - Students who, upon request, receive a private room will be assessed an additional fee per semester. Private rooms are based on availability and classification rank. Students who are in a private room as a result of a roommate moving out will be required to move into a room with another student, if one is available, or be assessed the private room fee.

Telephones - Local telephone service will be provided by the university at no charge to residents. Instruments will not be provided. Long distance service will be available for purchase through the university.

Other regulations - Students are expected to comply with all regulations regarding residence halls as printed in the university catalog and student handbook. Students are expected to comply with all directives from university officials, including residence hall staff members, regarding all aspects of residence hall life. Prior to moving into a residence hall a student is required to sign a residence hall contract. Signing of the residence hall contract implies acceptance of student responsibilities as outlined in university publications and by university officials.
