License Agreement

The Residential Life License Agreement that was signed at time of application is for the entire academic year. By signing the agreement, you have agreed to live in the halls for fall and spring semesters and are financially liable for the entire year.

ACADEMIC YEAR 2007 - 2008

TERMS AND CONDITIONS


The undersigned Student requests to reside in an Arizona State University (ASU) residence hall and agrees to payment of the non-refundable application processing fee. Receipt of the completed application and fee by Residential Life at ASU does not guarantee assignment to a residence hall. If the Student receives an assignment to a residence hall space, ASU grants a license to the Student to reside in that space. The relationship created by this license between ASU and the Student is that of licensor and licensee, and NOT that of landlord and tenant. The Student must be officially admitted and enrolled for credit bearing coursework at ASU and be making satisfactory academic progress to live in the residence halls. ASU reserves the right to provide priority assignments to students who are classified as full time and are in good standing in academic degree programs and whose conduct at ASU has not been determined by Residential Life or Student Life to be incompatible with community living. The Student must check out of the residence hall if he/she withdraws or is withdrawn from ASU. Failure to do so will result in removal from the residence halls. ASU does not discriminate based on sex, race, color, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, religion, veteran’s status, age, or disability.

TERM OF THE AGREEMENT


The term of this agreement begins when ASU accepts a faxed or signed application, and continues until the residence halls close at the end of the spring semester unless cancelled by ASU or the Student prior to check-in, cancelled by breach, or by an approved License Agreement Release after check-in (see Schedule of Charges and Deadlines for valid reasons for license agreement release). Separate agreements at an additional cost are required for the summer occupancy period.
Exceptions or changes to this agreement are not valid unless the director of Residential Life or his/her designee has confirmed them in writing.

THE STUDENT AGREES TO:

1. Know, observe, and comply with the terms and conditions of this agreement, all federal and state laws, all ASU policies and regulations governing student conduct, including the Student Code of Conduct and Residence Hall Handbook and the Computer, Internet and Electronic Communication Policy (copies of which are available upon request), and any subsequent policies or regulations that ASU may adopt or publish during the term of the agreement.
2. Make payments for all fees, room charges, and any other charges according to the Schedule of Charges and Deadlines for the applicable period.
3. Cancel promptly in writing by the stated deadlines if the Student decides, prior to checking in, not to live in an ASU residence hall.
4. Obtain insurance coverage on personal property, if desired. ASU is not liable for loss, theft, or damage of personal property. ASU does not offer insurance coverage for personal property.
5. Maintain the assigned space in a safe condition. Room furnishings shall not be removed or stored. Public area or lounge furnishings shall not be moved into a Student’s room.
6. Make appropriate arrangements before the beginning of each academic term for and to maintain attendant care for the duration of the year if the Student has a disability and requires personal attendant care. The Student has the sole financial responsibility for his/her own personal attendant care. 7. Move to a different room if required by Residential Life staff for behavioral or administrative purposes.
8. Not sell, sublease, or assign the room to anyone at any time. Use of a room for commercial purposes is expressly prohibited.
9. Not move out of the residence hall without obtaining an approved License Agreement Release and going through the check out process. A Student vacating his/her assigned space without a written release from Residential Life will be held responsible for the financial commitments of the entire term of the agreement, including the portion remaining after the Student vacates the room.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

ASU staff or other designated agents necessary to the operation of the residence halls may be authorized by the Director of Residential Life to enter a Student’s room at any time to verify inventory records or occupancy, perform maintenance, perform security investigations under the Computer, Internet and Electronic Communication Policy, or enforce safety, health, and ASU Code of Conduct standards.
2. ASU reserves the right to change, cancel, or consolidate room assignments at any time due to academic ineligibility, discipline, safety, health, or administrative reasons.
3. ASU reserves the right to terminate this agreement by written notice with due process if a Student fails to comply with any terms and conditions of this agreement.
4. The Arizona Board of Regents and ASU reserve the right to change room rates and other charges and fees if circumstances require adjustments.
5. Residential Life may immediately terminate this agreement if a Student harms or threatens to harm himself, herself, or any other person.
