Rates & Contracts

The housing contract is a legally binding agreement between the resident and the Board of Regents and the University System of Georgia that secures a living space.

What is included in a housing contract?

  1. Defines the terms and conditions of occupancy
  2. Addresses pertinent Georgia laws
  3. Refers to specific sections of the Student Code of Conduct and the guide to Community Living

By executing your contract online, you are agreeing to the terms of the housing contract and making a commitment to live on campus and to pay rates for the fall and spring semesters and, in some cases, summer semester.

For your specific contract, make sure when you sign your contract*, you print a copy while in the Housing Portal.

Fall Graduates

I plan to graduate Fall Semester. How do I know I won't be charged for Spring Semester?

Congratulations on your achievement! We have a list given to us by the Office of the Registrar that lets us know who will be graduating each semester. We want you to graduate so there is no penalty if you cancel your contract due to graduation. Make sure you cancel your Spring Contract within the Housing Portal and list "graduation" as your reason.
