General Regulations

4. Tenure in the Halls of Residence

4.1 The Director, Student Residences and Business, or nominee may, at any time, require a student to vacate a residential place where, in the opinion of the Director or nominee that person is deemed to be unsuitable to a shared living environment, or where their continued residence poses a threat to their own welfare, or to the welfare of other students or to the welfare or property of the University. The Director or nominee shall give the student a notice to vacate in written or oral form.
4.2 The amount of refund from the residential rate shall be a matter for the Director, Student Residences and Business, or nominee to determine in each case. There shall be no appeal against the refund determination.
4.3 Student accommodation is allocated to specific students. At no time shall an allocated student be permitted to sub-let or otherwise permit use of the room to an alternate person, whether that person is a current resident, student of the University or a member of the general community.
  4.3.1 Students found to be in breach of clause 4.3 will be fined the equivalent of one week’s tariff for each night of the breach.
4.4 Conditions of Group Occupancy:

All applicants within a group occupancy arrangement must all be of the same Package option (One or Two).
  4.4.1 For group applications where applicants forming part of the group withdraw or are asked to vacate residence by the University, the remainder of the group may be required to find a replacement or the group application may be excluded.
  4.4.2 After the commencement of Orientation, if a member of the group withdraws, the remaining group members will be required to:
  1. Find a replacement member acceptable to the Director, Student Residences and Business or nominee; and
  2. Meet the shortfall of rent until a replacement member is found.
4.5 Twin Room Occupancy:
  4.5.1 The occupancy of twin rooms will be conditional upon occupants agreeing to relocate should vacancies arise in twin room areas. Students will be given five days to relocate.

Students in twin rooms will not be required to move more than twice per session.
  4.5.2 Where a student has requested twin room occupancy and it is not possible for this category to be allocated in the twin room area, they will be allowed to remain in their room on a single basis until such time as twin occupancy can be arranged.
