NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY 17 Storage There is no space available for student storage in the residential area. Students cannot use common areas, janitorial closets, outdoor stairwells, balconies, or electrical closets for the storage of any personal property. Nova Southeastern University shall not be responsible for any loss resulting from the disposal of any property found in these areas. Student Contact The Office of Residence Life will use student’s NSU email accounts for all official communications. Students are given access to utilize the residence hall mail system, NSU SharkLink, Residence Management System (RMS), and an NSU email account; and are responsible for information distributed through these means. Use of Room Space If a resident resides in a room alone, the Office of University Housing may move a student into the vacancy at any time. In some instances, the student may not be notified in advance if the situation warrants an immediate move. This type of situation is unusual, but does occur. The room must be maintained at all times in a manner that creates a welcoming environment for a new student. All original University property must be present in the room (i.e. beds, dressers, desks, etc.). Closet, bed, desk, and dresser space must be available for the new students use. Any resident who is in a single double, triple, or quad occupancy room must be prepared to receive a roommate at any time. This means keeping your belongings in only one portion of the room so that the new roommate has space for his/her possessions and will feel welcome. Inappropriate use of vacant space will be addressed by the Office of Residence Life and/or the University Housing staff members and may be addressed through the conduct process. As a result of the mediation dialogue, the residents may agree to stay in the room and create a new roommate contract. If the residents decide to move to another room, they must work with the AC in a timely manner to fill out a “Room Change Form.” The AC may also be able to recommend a swap between residents in the same area if there is a mutual request between the residents. If the AC has approved a room change, residents are given 48 hours to move to the new room, check out with their RA, return keys, and properly check in with their new RA. If the resident fails to follow the room change procedures, the resident will be fined a $100 improper room change fee. If a resident fails to check out with the RA after they have moved to the new room, residents will be charged $100 for improper checkout and $75 for a lock change. Sometimes, a room change may involve a difference in room rate. The Assistant Director of Housing Assignments or their designee will inform residents of any rate increases/decreases during the room change process. The AC coordinating the room change will follow up with the residents after they have moved in to insure a successful transition. Unauthorized room changes will result in disciplinary action and a $100 improper check-out fee.
