Housing Reservation/Damage Deposit
All resident students are assessed, as authorized by the State University, a residence hall damage deposit of $55 per academic year. Damage files will be kept on each student for each semester of residence. This $55 deposit serves both as “reservation” and “damage deposit.”
1. Students residing in residence halls will be held accountable for any costs of repairs or replacements to the physical structure, fixtures, equipment and furnishings of areas/rooms in state-operated residence halls which are reasonably determined to be caused by intentional, willful, malicious or negligent damage or destruction to said facilities. The charge will include labor costs.
2. When damages to common areas occur and it cannot be ascertained which student(s) is responsible for damage, assessments will be made against all corridor mates or all hall residents, depending on the situation.
3. Damages will be assessed periodically. Unused damage deposit will be refunded at the end of academic year occupancy.
