2024–2025 RESIDENTIAL LIVING GUIDE 16 Space may not be sublet or grant extended access to other persons. Space assignments may be changed by the Director of University Housing, or designee, in the interest of order, health, disciplines, or best use of the facilities, solely at the discretion of the Director of University Housing or designee. Room Changes At the beginning of each fall, winter, and summer semester, there is a two-week freeze on room changes. During the first weeks of the academic semester, roommates will complete a Roommate Agreement with the help of their RA. After the freeze period ends, please see your RA and Residence Life staff if there is a roommate conflict. Residents who move without adhering to the following process may incur additional fees to their student account. All residents must follow the room change process when seeking a room change. Prior to seeking a room change, the resident should meet with the Resident Assistant (RA) who may be able to provide assistance with a difficult room/suitemate experience. The RA will review the roommate contract. This form presents seven of the most common issues that roommates are likely to encounter with one another and provides an opportunity to address the issues pro-actively rather than confronting the issues after they have occurred. After meeting with the residents, the RA can file an incident report and contact the Area Coordinator (AC) to give an update of the situation. The AC can contact the residents via NSU student email to discuss the situation. The AC will determine if a mediation session will offer a beneficial resolution and a meeting with professional Residence Life staff can be scheduled. If a mediation session is to be scheduled beyond of the Office of Residence Life, the GA for Mediation Services will contact the residents within 24–48 hours to schedule a day and time for the mediation session. Married, Domestic Partnership, and Family Housing Married and/or domestic partnership housing is available and the student must provide a copy of the marriage certificate or domestic partnership certificate along with the application for housing. Family housing is not available at this time in the residence halls at Nova Southeastern University. Right to Refuse to Enter Agreement The University reserves the right to refuse to enter into any contract for residence hall accommodations with any student. Renter’s Insurance Students may wish to purchase Renter’s Insurance, since the University is not responsible for loss or damage to your personal items. Insurance coverage should be arranged before you move into your room. Renter’s Insurance is available from most major insurance companies. In most cases, students are not covered under their parent’s homeowner’s policy unless a special rider is arranged. The University is also not responsible for property damage caused by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, or from facilities-related issues, such as A/C leaks or appliance outage. Room Assignments Assignment of a space in the residence halls shall be contingent upon final admission to Nova Southeastern University; receipt of the properly completed Residence Hall Contract; payment of the $500 housing deposit; proof of insurance or request for NSU Student Health Plan activation; and proof of immunization. Assignments will be based upon availability in each residence hall. Nova Southeastern University is an equal opportunity institution. Roommate assignments will be made without regard to ethnic origins, race, religion, or physical limitation. ONLY assigned students may occupy residential space.
