Greek Housing Information
Students
There are 3 types of moves: staying within your Greek house, moving to Residential Living & Learning (RL&L), and moving from RL&L to Fraternity & Sorority Lfe (FSL). All moves will require an updated house roster from your president be sent to Jackson. Please note these moves can only occur during the open room change period for each semester.
Within Your House: Your president should send Jackson an updated roster and Jackson will then contact you regarding your move. You should not move until you have been contacted by FSL.
From FSL to RL&L: Your president should send Jackson an updated roster and Jackson will then work with RL&L to notify them of the change. Beth Eaton or an RL&L staff member will then contact you regarding your move. You should not move to a different space until contacted by RL&L.
From RL&L to FSL: Your president should send Jackson an updated roster and Jackson will then work with RL&L on the change. Jackson will then contact you regarding your move. You should not move to a different space until contacted by Jackson.
Move-In Instructions
Continuing student move-in is Sunday, August 17th. To pick up your key you will head straight to your Greek house and proceed to the chapter room. There you will meet your Chapter House Assistant (CHA) for the year. They will be able to check you in and give you your room key. They will be stationed in the chapter room from 9:00AM to 4:30PM (some time may be taken for lunch but your CHA should communicate that with you). To move in you must have submitted the FSL Housing Application which is found on your Housing Central portal.
After Hours Move-In
If you arrive after 4:30PM on August 17-19, you will need to contact the CHA On-Duty at 386-337-0087. They will key you into your room for the night. The next business day you will need to visit the Fraternity & Sorority Life Office located at CUB 214 & 215 to pick up your room key. If you arrive during business hours Monday or Tuesday, you can head straight to the FSL Office to pick up your key and check-in.
Please familiarize yourself with the proper procedures for moving off-campus to smooth your transition between living spaces without fines.
Students may move out of their assigned housing at any time during the academic term with the proper approval either from the university or from Fraternity & Sorority Life (FSL). We ask that you notify our office as soon as possible by emailing [email protected] if you are planning to:
- Complete a withdrawal or medical withdrawal for the current term
- Request an Approved Leave or Exit the university for a future term
- Plan to move off campus while remaining enrolled in classes.
NOTE: You must be approved for a Request for Residency Exemption found on your Housing Central Home Page. - Plan to move to a different room/suite/apartment on campus.
NOTE: You must receive official approval from FSL and/or Residential Living & Learning (RL&L) to complete a room change or room swap.
Our office will help you work through the steps in these different processes to ensure that you have the proper paperwork on file, approval to move off campus, or approval to change/swap your room assignment.
Mid-Semester Move-out
If a student is moving out of their room during the semester, they should make sure that FSL staff are aware of the move that is occurring. Refunds and fees for cancellations and withdrawals are outlined in the Housing Agreement.
- Connect with your Chapter House Assistant to schedule a time to complete a walkthrough of your space prior to moving out. This will ensure damages are recorded and reported correctly, so you can avoid charges after moving out.
- Make sure to remove all personal items from your room and common spaces. Any items left behind will be considered abandoned property and will be disposed of appropriately at the student’s expense.
- Clean, Unplug and Defrost your Refrigerator in advance. Leave the refrigerator door open to allow the air to circulate and be sure to lay down a towel to soak up the water as the ice melts. (Defrosting can take several days, so plan accordingly!)
- Remove all personal food items from the community kitchen refrigerator. Any items left behind will be discarded.
- Remove all personal items from the community laundry room. Any items left behind will be discarded.
- Remove all trash and recycling from the room and dispose of it in the blue dumpsters and recycling bins located outside your building.
- Close and lock all windows and leave window blinds open with the slats tilted upwards
- Turn off all lights and fans
- If you have a thermostat:
- Make sure the fan is set to “Auto” and turn the temperature back to the unoccupied* set point (82 degrees in cooling mode or 55 degrees in heating).
OR - Return the +/- 2-degree setting to “0.”
- Make sure the fan is set to “Auto” and turn the temperature back to the unoccupied* set point (82 degrees in cooling mode or 55 degrees in heating).
- Suites/Apartments: Clean your suite/apartment bathroom and common space. Students may be charged excessive cleaning fees if the spaces are not left in a clean condition.
- Lock your door behind you when you leave. Leaving residential doors unlocked is a violation of the Residential Living & Learning policy.
- Return all residential keys to FSL.
- During Business Hours (Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.): Visit the FSL office at CUB 215 to complete the checkout process with one of our FSL staff and return your residential keys.
- Outside of Business Hours: Utilize the check-out drop box located next to CUB 214. Complete a checkout envelope available in the box, place your keys in the envelope and place the envelope in the drop box.
It is important that you complete all of the above tasks before leaving your space. FSL staff will be conducting a final inspection of rooms to ensure these measures have been taken. Failure to complete the checklist items above may result in charges posted to your student account, and/or referral to the student conduct process.
