Room and Meal Plan Contract

The Residential Student Guidebook is incorporated in and is binding as part of the Room and Meal Plan Contract. The University reserves the right to make changes to the contract as appropriate. It is the student’s responsibility to read and comprehend the University regulations including those in the Room and Meal Plan Contract, Residential Student Guidebook, and this document.

A Room and Meal Plan Contract remains in effect until the end of the contract period, but may be terminated under the following conditions:

• If a student officially cancels his or her enrollment.
• If a student violates the terms of this contract, University regulations, local, state or federal laws. (SPU reserves the right to cancel the contract with no refund of room and meal plan charges.)
• If a student is not required to live on campus (see Residential Living Requirement above).

A student contracts for a space on campus but not for a specific hall, room, apartment, or roommate. The University reserves the right to the following:

• Assign roommates unilaterally.
• Reassign students who are without roommates.
• Use a room when it is not occupied.
• Assign single rooms.
• Reassign students to different units in the event such reassignments are determined necessary.

Priority for University housing is given to matriculated (admitted) students registered for nine credits or more each quarter. Students enrolled for three to eight credits are housed as space permits. Dropping to part-time status from full-time status does not automatically cancel the Room and Meal Plan Contract.

Room and meal plan costs are listed under the Tuition and Fees section of the Catalog Refund schedules and cancellation charges are outlined in the Refunds and Account Adjustments section of the Catalog.
