Terms and Conditions
JACKSON STATE UNIVERSITY

This agreement (“Agreement”) specifies the terms and conditions for all student housing assignments at Jackson State University (“JSU” or “University) for the 2024-2025 academic
year. This agreement is for student housing in University residence halls and apartments owned or managed by the University. Students interested in on-campus housing at Jackson State University must complete a housing application and sign this agreement with an electronic signature via the Student Housing Portal. If a student is under the age of eighteen (18), the student’s parent or legal guardian must also sign the agreement with an electronic signature via email. Students understand that he/she must be a registered full-time student at JSU in order to reside on campus and agree to complete the registration process by June 15th. The student understands that JSU will release the student housing assignment if registration is not completed by June 15, 2024 (Fall) and/or prior to the start of the Spring semester. The Student further understands that he/she will be charged for the duration of time that he/she elected to live in the residence hall or had possession of the room.

1. Eligibility

Resident must be at least sixteen (16) years old, on or before the first day of occupancy, to
reside in student housing. Acceptance of these terms and conditions by the University does
not constitute a commitment of admission or continuing enrollment at the University. Resident
must earn admission to the University and must remain admitted, enrolled, and registered for
classes during the entire length of the housing agreement. Balances must be paid in accordance
with University requirements. Resident must be enrolled in at least a full-time course load for
the length of the agreement unless authorized by JSU.
A registered sex offender is ineligible for student housing and may not reside in any University
residence hall or apartment. If Resident executes a housing agreement, but fails to disclose
that they are a sex offender, or is required by the law of any state to register as a sex offender,
Resident’s housing agreement will be automatically terminated. Resident will be required to
vacate their housing assignment within twenty-four (24) hours of notice by Student Housing
that the contract was terminated, or at a more expedient time as mandated by JSU. Resident
will not be eligible for a refund or credit of any housing fees.

2. Agreement Terms

The duration of the housing agreement is for the entire academic year (both fall and spring
semesters), or if entered into after the beginning of the academic year, for the remainder of
the academic year (both semesters). This housing agreement does not provide for student
housing during break housing between semesters. JSU may offer break housing to the resident
at an additional cost.

3. Fees

1. Student agrees to pay for on-campus housing and meal plan in accordance with the
established payment schedule of the University as published in JSU publications or
memoranda.

2. A non-refundable room reservation fee of $100.00 is assessed to all first-time students
who choose to live in campus housing. Returning students who signed a housing
application before 2016 are under terms that do not require additional payment for
housing for the duration of their residency at Jackson State University; however, a
$75.00 non-refundable room reservation will be assessed to all returning students each
academic year.

3. Housing during the winter break is not included in the basic fee paid by the student.

4. Cancellations by Student

without the student incurring a cancellation fee. Students canceling after June 30 but
prior to August 25 the first day of class will incur a three hundred fifty dollars ($350)
cancellation fee and will not be required to pay the entire cost of housing for the
semester. Students shall be assessed and obligated to pay the full charges assessed for
housing and meals for cancellations received after the first 5 days of classes with no
reduction in the fees assessed, including but not limited to residence hall room fees,
post office fees and meal plan fees.

2. If a Student does not return for the Spring semester, the nine-month contract is not
automatically terminated. The nine-month contract may be terminated for the Spring
semester if the Student is participating in co-op, internship, student teaching, or a
student exchange program, graduating (in December), has become married,
withdrawing from JSU, transferring to another college or university, or show
extraordinary circumstances in order to cancel a housing agreement for the Spring
semester. All students who request to cancel the housing agreement must have the
proper documentation which supports the basis for the cancellation, which may be
denied at the University’s discretion. If a student is terminating an agreement due to
the student getting married, the student must furnish proof of marriage.

3. Residents may submit cancellation requests by obtaining and completing a Residence
Hall Release in the residence hall in which they reside. Spring cancellation requests
are subject to a charge of 1⁄2 of the room and meal plan fees. A student will not be
released from his or her agreement after the residence halls open for the Spring
semester. Note: All requests for cancellations must be made before the
Housing/Residence Life Office closes for the winter holidays. Any student who
requests cancellation of the contract after the residence halls open for the Spring
semester shall be responsible for residence hall room and meal plan fees. The contract
agreement will be binding for students who check into the residence hall after the
residence hall is open for the semester or summer session.

Student fails to cancel room assignment by aforementioned cancellation dates.

implement in on-campus residence halls throughout the academic year in order to react
to the changing circumstances. You should be aware that if you live in an on-campus
residence hall, the University cannot guarantee that the residence hall will be free of
COVID-19. By signing this Agreement, you understand and agree that the University
