In the event that a Residence Hall Contract Buyout occurs, the resident: 1. shall promptly and properly complete the checkout process. 2. shall vacate the premises no later than 24 hours after anticipated checkout date. 3. shall pay all amounts due and owing. Failure to check out properly, as defined in the NSU Residential Living Guide, will result in a $100 improper check out.

You are a veteran or active United States military personnel; 4. You are over the age of 20; 5. You are a fully online student. If you meet one of the criteria, and choose on- campus housing, you must honor the entire term of the contract. Undergraduate students who wish to reside on-campus during the summer term are required to submit a summer housing contract and move into the halls designated for the summer. Students are responsible for paying their housing fees online through their NSU SharkLink accounts or at One-Stop Shop in the Horvitz Administration Building prior to occupying their room in the residence halls. Students are responsible for making payments for any amount not covered by a financial aid award. Housing payments must be made as required by the housing agreement. A failure to make appropriate payments will be considered by the University Housing as a breach of agreement and shall, at the University’s option, expel the student resident from the University Residence Hall. If a student is either not registered or enrolled during any part of the academic year or has failed to timely make any payment to Nova Southeastern University, the student will be removed from housing and will be obligated to pay all housing fees due and owning through the date of removal.
