Miami University is pleased to be able to provide support to students by allowing access to university housing during break periods. The following provisions are required in order to gain the privilege of residing on campus during these break periods:
For residents assigned to Residence Halls: the period between Fall and Spring semester, Winter Term, Thanksgiving Break, and Spring Break are not included in the housing contract; dining halls may be closed or have limited services during these periods. Students who request housing during early arrival, break periods and Winter Term agree to pay an additional room rental rate and follow all provisions stated in this contract. Students must request housing from the Campus Services Center prior to any designated university break periods or Winter Term in order to stay in university housing. Students may not have guests stay with them during these periods. Other students including roommates must request their own permission to arrive early, depart late and stay during breaks.
For residents assigned to Heritage Commons Apartments: The period between Fall and Spring semester, Winter Term, Thanksgiving Break, and Spring Break are included in this contract (dining halls may be closed or have limited services during these periods). Students may not have guests stay with them during these periods. Other students including roommates must request their own permission to arrive early, depart late and stay during breaks.
I understand my student ID card will allow me access to the residence hall and room to which I am assigned during the period of time for which I have been approved to stay during this break.
I understand that by submitting the form, I will be charged for the dates that I requested.
I understand and agree that I will be charged a daily rate per night to stay in my room during the approved break period. This charge will appear on my university Bursar account. I understand that there is a reduced price for Winter Term if I am registered for a winter term course.
If I should leave early or decide not to stay during the break period, I will contact the Residence Life staff member who is on duty by calling 513-330-2005.
I understand I am expected to adhere to tenets of personal and social responsibility, and, therefore, I am subject to the Student Code of Conduct during the break period.
I understand that visitation is restricted to Miami University students during the break. I am responsible for my guests and may face sanctions under the Student Code of Conduct if my guests violate any policy.
I understand that dining options on campus will be unavailable or limited during the break period.
I understand that some utility [water, heat and/or air conditioning] maintenance work could occur during this break period resulting in service interruptions.
I understand that during the break period, lighting in the public areas (hallways/living rooms/study areas/lobby) of the building will be switched to "Quiet Hours" mode for energy conservation purposes.
I understand that housekeeping services, as well as Residence Life staff members will be limited during the break period.
I understand that for assistance I should call either the Miami University Police at 513-529-2222 or the Residence Life staff member on duty at 513-330-2005.
