Housing Contract Your housing contract is for the entire academic year. Please read the contract carefully before signing. The housing contract is a binding and legal document. Withdrawal from the University does not automatically terminate your housing contract. Room and Board charges will continue to accumulate until an official check-out has been completed. Check-out is complete when all belongings have been removed from the residence hall, room and building keys are returned, and a staff member has completed the necessary check-out paperwork with your signature. The Housing Exemption Committee must approve the termination of a housing contract for all currently enrolled students. This contract only covers the periods during which the University is in session. All students residing in the residence halls are required to purchase a meal plan. Students in their first year are permitted to choose from the Wolf Pack 300, the Wolf Pack 100 or the Wolf Pack Weekly. All other students who are required to reside on campus can choose from those three as well as the Wolf All Flex and the Wolf Maroon. Students who are not exempt from living on campus but choose to do so may choose from any of the five residential meal plans as well as the Commuter Gold meal plan. If there is sufficient demand and available space, students needing vacation housing may be accommodated at a daily rate in a designated housing facility. Meals are not provided during these periods, including thanksgiving, winter break and spring break. Check-in/Check-out Procedures Check-in and check-out procedures are crucial. The instructions that are posted at the beginning and ending of each semester should be followed. If these instructions are not followed, disciplinary action may be taken. To check-in, please report to the office in your residence hall. A member of the residence hall staff, who will assist you through the check-in process, will meet you there. You will fill out all check-in paperwork and your keys will be issued to you, and finally you will complete a room condition report with a resident assistant. Please be sure to take an adequate amount of time filling out the room condition report to avoid any charges being assessed to your student account. To check-out, you will need to schedule a time with the resident assistant to inspect your room. Before your scheduled appointment, move out all personal items, clean your room thoroughly, which includes sweeping and/or mopping the room. The room should be arranged in the original set-up, including furniture moved back to its placement and beds bunked at the correct height. The resident assistant will then check your room for any damages. You will be billed for any damages or cleaning costs. Keys Students are issued keys upon arrival to NSU after they have completed the check in process with hall staff. It is very important that you maintain possession of your keys and/or student ID at all times. In all of our residence halls your ID card will be coded for building entry. If questions arise, please contact hall staff. Lost Keys:  A key is determined to be lost (1) when the student states it is lost or stolen or (2) after a key has been missing for two weeks. If a key is not returned at check-out, the key is considered lost.  A lost key is not permanently replaced until the student has paid $50.00 for a room key.  Once paid, the Hall Staff will order a new key.  If your ID card is lost, you will be responsible for paying the replacement cost of the ID card in the finance office to get a new card made.
