APPENDIX

RESIDENCE AGREEMENT CONTRACT 
 
Purpose of the Residence Housing Agreement
The following serves as a Student Housing Agreement for St John’s College Residence. While the contract serves to identify the respective obligations and responsibilities of the student and the College, its greater purpose is to ensure an acceptable living environment for all residents, and a good working environment for College Staff. Please read the contract and carefully consider its conditions.

Contractual Obligation
When I have signed this contract, it is binding if the College has accommodations available for me.  Neither this contract nor my Residence Meal Card may be transferred or assigned to another person.

Period of Occupancy
First Term:   Move-In Day is Saturday, September 1, 2012 (all residents)
   September 1, 2012 through December 21, 2012
   The last day of exams is December 19, 2012.
 
Second Term: January 3, 2013 through April 27, 2013. The last day of exams is April 26, 2013.
All students, except those staying for summer session, must be moved out of residence by Sunday, April 28, 2013 at noon.

Students wishing to remain in residence during the Christmas vacation period must inform the Dean of Residence. There is a daily fee for students staying over the vacation period who are staying for one term only.  Students wishing to stay in residence beyond April 27, 2013 must have approval from the Dean of Residence or administration staff and pay for any extra nights in summer session by Monday, April 22, 2013.

Residence Fees
Please See Residence Rates 2012-2013
 
$1000 Non-Refundable Down Payment
I agree to pay $1000 on or before June 29, 2012 or upon acceptance by the College if the deadline has passed. I understand that the Down Payment is a non-refundable levy in consideration of the College accepting my application for accommodation in the Residence during the Period of Occupancy. I understand that if I withdraw my application before June 29 2012, I will be refunded the Down Payment, less an administrative fee of $100; but if I withdraw after June 29, 2012 I will forfeit the full $1000 except in the case where I have not been admitted to the University of Manitoba, or if I have withdrawn from the University of Manitoba, or if I withdraw from Residence due to sickness. If I choose not to remain in residence for the second term, January through April 2013, I understand that $500 of the Down Payment will not be refundable except in the cases listed above.

Late Fee Penalty
If Residence fees are not paid by the end of the first full week of classes in each term, a penalty of $50 will be assessed on the first day of the second full week of classes in addition to $1/day that payment is not received.  If I am late with my residence fees, then I understand that I will be placed on Hold Status with the University, and I will not be able to register for courses, make course changes, get a copy of an official transcript or use the libraries. “No administrative or academic services will be provided to students on Hold Status, until the specific obligations have been met. Students who have not cleared their Hold Status from previous registrations will not be permitted to register again until the hold has been cleared or permission to register has been obtained from the Office of the Vice-President, Administration” (University of Manitoba: 2012-13 Undergraduate Calendar).

St John’s College reserves the right to cancel this contract in the event of failure to make payments in a timely manner. For clarification, any student who has been placed on academic hold and who still fails to make payments will have his or her contract cancelled at the College’s discretion, and the student will need to vacate their residence room.

Student Loan Payment Extension
I understand that if I have a student loan, and the loan will come in after the due date for residence fees, I must make arrangements with the Assistant Bursar and the Dean of Residence for an extension.  Any arrangements MUST be made before the dates that fees are due; otherwise late fees will still apply.

Other Payment Information
My assigned accommodation in the Residence will not be held for me after the first day of classes (September 6, 2012). If I require an extension, I will contact the Dean of Residence to negotiate an extension.  I understand that I must pay from the beginning of the term even if I move in late.

If I move in during the academic year, I will pay the term rate, minus charges for days from the beginning of this contract to my official beginning date.  I will pay the remaining fees as described above.

I will be bound by the terms relating to the manner in which the Residence fees and the Levy will be applied in the event that I depart from the Residence prior to the end of the Period of Occupancy, as set out on page one.

I will pay for any damages to the room assigned to me or any deficiencies in its furnishing which result from negligence or misuse by myself or my guests.  If there is damage to the public and private areas, I understand that I may be held liable for a share of costs.  I will pay any other charges that arise from my violation of this agreement.

If I owe money for room and board, damages, fines, or other charges when I vacate, I may be placed on “Hold Status” with the University, and I will not be able to obtain a transcript, register, or graduate until I have paid.  If I have any questions about my payments, I will contact the Assistant Bursar before my account becomes delinquent.

FOOD SERVICES
For the first term, the College will provide food service in the Residence Dining Room beginning with brunch on Saturday September 1, 2012 and ending with supper on Wednesday December 19, 2012.
For the second term, the College will provide food service in the Residence Dining Room beginning with breakfast on Tuesday, January 3, 2013, and ending with supper on Friday April 26, 2013.

During the February reading break, regular meals end with supper on Friday February 15, 2013 and resume with brunch on Sunday February 24, 2013. An optional meal plan may be offered during reading break, but I understand that this is not included in regular residence fees and must be paid for in advance.

I understand that both room and board must be purchased, and that special diets for reasons such as health or religion cannot be guaranteed.

My food plan consists of three meals each day except Saturday, Sunday, and statutory holidays, which have a brunch and supper menu. A snack is offered on Sunday evenings.

I understand that I must obtain a Meal Card from the General Office, and I agree to show my Meal Card at meal time. I will obtain my Meal Card by Thursday, September 13, or risk being levied a fine. I understand that this is College policy.

I understand that proper attire, including appropriate footwear, is required in the Dining Room and Food Services area. 

Residents may not enter the Kitchen or Housekeeping Office except as authorized.  I will not remove food and beverages, dishes, glasses, cups, cutlery, serving trays, or any other such item from the Dining Room or Food Services Area.  Food, trays, plates etc. must not be taken from the dining area. I understand I will be charged $20 every time I am found removing food or College property (plates etc.) from the dining area.

REGULATIONS REGARDING BEHAVIOUR

Room Assignment
I understand that all room assignments are made by the Dean of Residence prior to the beginning of the first term, and are effective for the duration of the academic year.  I understand that only the person assigned to a room may reside in that room. 

Guest Policy
• I am expected to assume responsibility for the action of my guests, and I will be held  accountable for a guest’s violation of the Residence Contract.
• If problems arise with my guest (e.g. drunkenness, or any infraction of this contract), I may forfeit  my privilege of having future guests, and a College representative may ask my guest to leave.

Alterations, Damages and Repairs
I will complete a Room Inventory Card with a Don of Residence when I move in, change rooms, or move out.  I will be held responsible for any changes in the described conditions. If the room needs repairs, I must leave a written request with a Residence Don or the Dean of Residence in the General Office.

If I, or my guests, damage my room, door, or other areas in the Residence, either purposefully or through negligence, I understand that I am responsible for all charges to repair the damage. I understand that I will be placed on hold status with the University until I have paid for any damages.

Pets
Pets are not allowed in Residence, with the exception that, if suitable arrangements are made with the Dean of Residence, a fish tank (with fish) may be allowed.

I will not cook food anywhere in the Residence except in the Buttery.  For clarification, this includes the use of equipment such as a microwave oven, popcorn maker, rice cooker, kettle, or blender.

Entry and Inspection
I agree to allow the College the right to enter my room during reasonable hours for housekeeping, inspections, repairs and/or safety checks.

The College will not abuse its right of access or use it to harass me.  Except in emergencies or where it is impractical, the College will give me at least two days’ notice of its intent to enter, and will enter only at reasonable times.  I understand that when I request maintenance, I may not receive any prior notice that workers will be entering my room.

I understand that the Dean of Residence or a Don of Residence or a College Staff member may have cause to enter my room in my absence to remedy a situation which is causing discomfort to a fellow resident and/or constitutes a violation of the Community Responsibility section of this contract.  For clarification, this would include, but is not limited to, turning off of an alarm clock or audio equipment which is causing a disturbance, or closing a window. College Staff may enter my room during the regular course of their duties (e.g. Housekeeping Staff, Facilities Manager).

In the event that I expect a Don of Residence, or some other College official, to give a fellow Resident Student access to my room, I will write a letter to a Don of Residence stating the name of the student and the date for which permission has been granted.  A text message by phone is acceptable.

In case of emergency where immediate access is necessary, I waive my right of advance notice.  If I have moved out without giving proper notification, I waive my rights of consent.

The Dean of Residence may in the Dean’s sole discretion release me from my contractual obligations with specific regard to the Period of Occupancy and/or refund the Levy in whole or in part, upon receiving from me a written request for refund outlining extenuating circumstances in support of such request.  For better understanding, extenuating circumstances include sickness or leaving the Residence due to withdrawal from the University or termination at the University.

In an instance where an individual is deemed a threat or danger to the Residence community, the Dean of Residence acting with the authority of the Warden of the College may remove the individual from Residence at any time during the Period of Occupancy, notwithstanding an appeal.

MOVING OUT
When checking out of Residence, I agree to clean my room thoroughly, return furniture to its original place, to arrange for my refrigerator to be removed (if I have rented one), and to remove all personal belongings before I leave.  In the event that I withdraw from Residence or I am expelled from Residence before the period of occupancy has expired, I will return my Meal Card to a Don of Residence.  Failure to do so may result in my being placed on “Hold Status” with the University. 

The Residence Dons or a College Staff Member will inspect my room before I turn in my keys, and will determine damages and cleaning costs.  I agree to pay for these damages and cleaning costs.

Unless alternate and explicit arrangements have been made with the Dean of Residence, I will be completely moved out no later April 27, 2013 at noon.  In the event of non-compliance, I may be fined and/or lose my priority standing in the Residence.
