TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RESIDENCE LICENSE AGREEMENT

Summer 2008

Printable copy

This document defines the terms and conditions of the Residence License Agreement (Agreement) for a licensee (resident) in the University residential system. The Summer 2008 housing rates listed below are for residence and dining plan, on a Residence License Agreement basis, for 6-week and 12-week summer sessions.

All residence and dining plan rates are assessed on a per person basis. Rates for programs that do not follow this schedule will be determined by the Office of Housing.

A dining plan is mandatory for all residents assigned to dormitory-style residences. With the dining plan, a Convenience Points account will also be opened for these residents, enabling them to purchase Convenience Points if they choose to do so.

Residents assigned to apartment-style residences may elect to be on an optional dining plan and/or Convenience Points Plan.

Licensees and guarantors must settle their student account, in full, by the first day of each summer session. The assigned residence accommodation and dining plan are exclusively for the use of the licensee. The University reserves the right to increase its residence and dining plan rates, including the right to assess increases in energy costs. If assessed, increases shall be applied in the form of a pro rata adjustment. Boston University shall not be responsible for any delay or nondelivery of utilities or other services to residence facilities that are beyond the University's control.

Boston University, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to assign and reassign students in the residential system or to revoke and terminate any Agreement at any time for any reason set forth or referred to in this document. In the event that any such reassignment occurs to a residence accommodation with a residence rate higher or lower than the rate for the accommodation initially assigned, a supplemental charge or credit will be made for the pro rata portion of the difference.

Dining Program/Boston University Terrier Cards

Each resident will be issued a Boston University Terrier Card (Terrier Card). Each resident with a dining plan must present this Terrier Card at the dining location in order to be served. The Terrier Card is also used for residence access on campus. The Terrier Card must be carried at all times and may not be used by anyone other than the resident named on the card; it remains the property of the University and must be surrendered to the University upon demand. Alteration or use of the card for any unauthorized purpose will result in confiscation, financial penalty, and/or disciplinary action.

If the Terrier Card is lost, damaged, or stolen, the student should report this in person, by telephone, or in writing to Boston University, Terrier Card Office, 775 Commonwealth Avenue, lower level, Boston, MA 02215, 617-353-9966, Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.; or in person at the summer residence dining room office Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, noon - 5 p.m. If the student reports loss or theft of the card within 2 business days, the student will be liable for $50, or for the amount of the unauthorized use before the student notifies the Terrier Card Office (or the summer residence dining room office on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays), whichever is less. If the student fails to notify the Terrier Card Office (or the summer residence dining room office on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays) within 2 business days of the loss or theft of the card, his/her maximum liability increases to $500 or the amount of the unauthorized use, whichever is less. A lost, damaged, or stolen Terrier Card can be replaced at the Terrier Card Office for a fee of $30. Multiple replacements may result in additional fees up to $50 in each instance.

Residence Assignments

Summer residence assignments are made as Summer 2008 Residence License Agreements, Assignment Interest Forms (if applicable), and housing guarantee payments are received by the Office of Housing. An attempt will be made, on a space-available basis, to accommodate an applicant's interests. Specific assignments are not guaranteed and a resident may be reassigned to an accommodation other than an interest indicated. Interest in a specific residence, residence type, or residence rate does not guarantee placement in such. The residence rate the resident and guarantor must pay shall be higher if a licensee is assigned to a more expensive residence accommodation than any of the interests indicated by the applicant. Residences are not air conditioned.

Room change requests will not be granted during the summer housing period because of the brief duration of this Agreement.

In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the University and if the licensee completes the housing checkout procedures detailed in Term/Cancellation, the licensee is eligible for credits in accordance with the schedule in Credits of Residence and Dining Plan Rates Upon Withdrawal or Termination.
