7. FOOD SERVICE. All resident students must participate in one of the University offered meal plans. Students requiring special diets for health or

religious reasons should check with the Food Service to determine whether these needs can be met BEFORE signing this contract. Cooking is not permitted in student rooms. Students residing in University-operated Apartment Complexes are not required to purchase a University Meal Plan. Please note: meals are not served during the Thanksgiving Break (all day Thursday – Sunday dinner).

8. VACATION PERIODS. At least one (1) residence hall will be open during winter intersession and spring break periods; an additional charge will

be issued for this housing period except in cases of designated apartment buildings. All other residence halls will be closed and locked during these periods. See the Office of Residence Life for more information including costs, locations and process. This housing is applicable to all Fall semester resident students, regardless of the reason for staying during Intersession. Please note meals are not served during vacation periods.

9. ASSIGNMENT OF SPACE. Space in University housing will be assigned on the basis of student preference, subject to the availability of space

and the reasonable ability of the University to match the request with available space. The University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnic identification, gender, sexual preference, age, or disability in any of its policies or practices, but reserves the right to assign separate accommodations for male and female students. Reasonable arrangements for physically disabled students are available by contacting the Office of Residence Life and the Director of Disability Services. This contract is an agreement for an assignment in on-campus housing and is not an offer for a particular space or with a particular roommate.

10. CHECK-IN. Upon move-in, each resident will be issued a room key and other pertinent information. Each resident will also complete and sign a

room inventory form, which will be an accurate and complete record of the contents and conditions of the assigned room. The student is totally responsible for ensuring the accuracy of inventory data upon check-in. A student’s signature on the inventory indicates agreement with the inventory’s assessment of room conditions. The inventory will be verified and collected by the Resident Advisor and will serve as the basis for any checkout or damage charges.

11. CHECK-OUT. Check-out, whether a student is changing rooms or leaving University housing altogether, includes returning the room key,

removing all personal belongings and debris, and leaving the room in an acceptable, clean and undamaged condition. Further, the student should sign his/her inventory to demonstrate agreement to the condition of the room upon checkout. Failure to check out properly may result in an additional checkout charge and will result in the loss of the right to protest billing. Students withdrawing from housing must also be sure to cancel their meal plan with the Food Service Office. Personal property remaining in the residence hall after the term of this contract has expired shall become the property of the University. Students must vacate their room within 24 hours of their last final exam or by 6pm on the last day of the semester (whichever comes first), or within 24 hours of withdrawing from the University or being removed from on-campus housing.

12. ROOM CHANGES. Students requesting a room change must seek approval from their Resident Director and/or Residence Life. Unauthorized

room changes will result in disciplinary action. 13. CARE/CLEANLINESS OF STUDENT ROOMS. The student assumes responsibility for the cleanliness and care of the room and its furnishings.

Reasonable safety and sanitation standards must be maintained. Occupants may not dismantle, refinish, paint, dye, or in any way alter the room or its furnishings without specific permission from the Office of Residence Life.

14. RIGHT TO ENTRY. The University recognizes and respects the student’s right to privacy and desire to control his/her own living environment.

However, the University is also responsible for assuring that students maintain their rooms in a safe and sanitary manner, and for making necessary repairs to the rooms and their furnishings. Therefore, the University reserves the right to enter student’s rooms without prior notice for the purpose of safety and/or maintenance (emergency or student requested). In addition, the University reserves the right to enter a room when state, local, or federal laws, and /or the UMass Lowell Student Conduct Code, as related to the safety or well being of a resident or member of the community, is suspected to be in violation. Whenever possible the University will attempt to provide the assigned resident with advance notice.

15. UNAUTHORIZED USE AND POSSESSION OF KEYS. Only residents and authorized staff are permitted to have keys and/or access cards to

the residence halls and rooms within the residence halls. Any non-resident, non-student, or unauthorized person found having a key and/or access card to a residence hall or room within a residence hall may be referred to the University Judicial System and/or to local authorities. The Office of Residence Life may only duplicate keys for on-campus housing rooms.

16. RIGHT TO REASSIGN OR TERMINATE AGREEMENT. The University reserves the right to terminate this contract or reassign students under

the following circumstances: a) In an emergency which would not permit the continued operation of the residence halls, b) When a student is found to have violated University policies or regulations, c) If a resident fails to comply with the terms of occupancy, d) If the resident fails to meet residence hall eligibility requirements, e) If an irreconcilable situation exists between roommates.

encouraged to see that their own insurance policies cover such a loss.

NOTICE.
