This St. Francis College Office of Residence Life Terms and Occupancy Agreement (the “Agreement”) establishes an agreement between St. Francis College (the “College” or “SFC”) and the below named resident student (the “Resident”) for use of an assigned room/suite and facilities in the residence hall located at 97 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, NY 11201 (the “Residence Hall” or “Hall”) for and in consideration of the keeping and performing by Resident of all understandings, agreements, terms, and conditions of obligation enumerated herein. The Agreement does not constitute a lease and is not subject to New York State landlord-tenant laws; it confers a limited and revocable license to occupy College housing in the Residence Hall. This license can be revoked by the College as outlined below.
The Agreement does not guarantee assignment to a particular type of room or apartment or assignment to any preference indicated by the Resident. The Resident's preferences are requests only; preferences for room or apartment type, building of occupancy, and College's granting of roommate requests cannot be guaranteed. The College maintains sole discretion to assign rooms in the Residence Hall.
Any written requests to the St. Francis College Office of Residence Life (“Office of Residence Life” or “Residence Life”) required by this Agreement should be submitted via email to sfcreslife@sfc.edu.
All students residing in the Residence Hall (“Residents”), including Resident, must sign and abide by the terms, conditions, and responsibilities of this Agreement.
The terms, conditions, and responsibilities of the Agreement are as follows:
1. Term: The term of this Agreement is one full academic year beginning on the designated check-in date, Sunday, September 1, 2024 or Monday, September 2, 2024, and ending at noon on the designated check-out day of Saturday, May 10, 2025. Residents approved to move in early agree to abide by this Agreement at the time of check-in. Any requests to move-in before the check-in date or to remain in the Hall after the check-out date must be made as a written request to the Office of Residence Life by a specific date and time as determined by the Office of Residence Life. See Section 28 of this Agreement (Breaks) for information on access to the Residence Hall during the College’s breaks. Additional fees for approved early arrival, late departure, or holiday housing will apply and may vary based on room type, length of time, and reason for request.
2. Eligibility: Eligibility for residence does not amount to a guarantee of housing. Continuing students eligible for the room selection process must meet all deadlines and requirements for assignment to rooms, including but not limited to financial obligations. Incoming first year and transfer students must meet all deadlines for submitting a housing application and requirements regarding financial obligations. All placements in housing are also contingent upon a successful registration of academic classes. In addition,
• Residents must be registered as full-time students in good academic standing (2.0 cumulative GPA or better) throughout the duration of this Agreement. Residents who fail to satisfy this requirement at any point during the term of this Agreement will be required to move out of the Residence Hall within 48 hours of such failure unless granted an exception. Requests for exceptions must be made in writing to the Office of Residence Life to be reviewed by the College in its sole discretion by the Assistant Dean for Residence Life & Student Conduct or designee.
• Residents must satisfy their bill with Financial Services prior to moving into the Hall and will not be allowed to move-in until cleared by the Office of the Bursar. Residents who fail to satisfy their financial obligation with the College during the semester (i.e., failed payment plans) will be required to move out of the Residence Hall within 5 calendar days of such failure. No Resident will be allowed to move into or occupy any housing until all College fees are paid in the time and manner established by the College.
3. Financial Obligations: Residents are responsible for housing charges for the entire academic year (from check-in in the Fall to check-out in the Spring). Failure to make full payment for the Fall and/or Spring semester by the date designated by the College will result in forfeiture of existing assigned space; however, this Agreement remains in force. Withdrawal from the College does not necessarily relieve a Resident from financial liability for housing, even if a tuition cancellation has occurred. This includes medical withdrawals. Requests to be relieved of financial liability for housing for certain approved reasons (i.e., study abroad, military leave, illness etc.) must be submitted in writing to the Office of Residence Life. All Residents who have signed this Agreement are bound by its terms and continue to be responsible for room charges unless and until a release from the Agreement is requested and approved and/or any assigned space is vacated as specified and approved by the Office of Residence Life.

6. Medical Care: The College and its authorized agents and employees, including Residence Life staff, Found Study/Hawkins Way Management authorized staff, and SFC Security, may provide or secure medical care, including hospitalization, for a Resident in the event of an illness or injury requiring such care.

Residents are required to have active health insurance coverage throughout the term of this Agreement. In the event of a health or safety emergency, the College may release information about the Resident, consistent with the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), to certain individuals as needed to protect the health and/or safety of the Resident and/or the campus community.
7. Key Cards: All residents are required to carry their Residence Hall ID at all times and must present the Residence Hall ID to the security guard before they can be admitted to the Residence Hall.
