This agreement is made and entered into by and between the Curators of the University of Missouri on behalf of Missouri University of Science and Technology, hereinafter referred to as "Missouri S&T" or "University", and the student identified on the original agreement, hereinafter referred to as the "Student." This is a binding agreement for the entire academic year consisting of fall and spring semesters, or if entered into after the beginning of the academic year, for the remainder of the academic year.
All students who are not exempted from the Missouri S&T campus residency requirement are required to live in university-approved housing (additional information regarding campus residency and the exemption parameters may be obtained by contacting the Residential Life Department). All students living in university residence halls are required to have a meal plan with the exception of students living in apartment style halls (Rolla Suites, University Commons, Miner Village or Farrar Co-ops) and who have reached junior status (60 hours) or are over the age of 21. Eligibility for a full or partial meal plan depends on the building assignment.
This contract is not a lease, the University is not a landlord, the Student is not a tenant, and nothing herein is intended to create such a relationship or is otherwise subject to any landlord-tenant laws or requirements. This is a license to occupy University housing as part of an academic community in connection with the educational experience and in the furtherance of the University's purposes. Any use of the terms "lease," "tenant," "rent," or the like in this contract or any associated materials, if any, are intended to refer to a license, or licensor-licensee, relationship. This contract, as with any license, is personal to the student, may not be assigned by the student for any reason, and is revocable by the University, which reserves the right to revoke the student's right to occupy University housing in its discretion in accordance with applicableUuniversity policies.
Moreover, this contract does not grant the Student possession of a particular room or type of residence, and the University may temporarily or permanently reassign the Student or deny the privilege of occupying University housing from time to time. The foregoing rights of the University are cumulative and in addition to its rights as set forth elsewhere herein or under student, residential, or other University rules, regulations, or policies that are otherwise applicable, which the University may change from time to time without prior notice.
If a written request to cancel the housing agreement is sent to the Residential Life Office, and the request is approved by the Director of Residential Life, the following penalty schedule will apply to such cancellations based on the date such request is received.
