Residence Life

Room reservations and board will cover the entire academic year. Students who reserve a room for the Fall Semester are committed to paying room rent for both the Fall and Spring Semesters, provided they remain enrolled at Barber-Scotia College. Exceptions can be granted via theDivision of StudentServices office for students who marry during the agreement term or those who don’t enroll for any coursework in the Spring Semester. Prorated refunds may be considered for married students relocating off-campus during the semester, with proof of marriage.

New students receive room reservation forms and acceptance deadlines from the Office ofAdmissions. Returning students have until 60 days before the beginning of the fall semester to confirm room assignments for the upcoming school year, avoiding billing for a semester’s rent and retaining their confirmation payment.

Former students seeking readmission can apply for housing directly through the Division ofStudent Services. All payments should be addressed to Barber-Scotia College and returned to the Division of Student Services office.

Before processing a housing application, an individual must have admission to the College.Accepting a housing assignment implies an agreement with the terms, conditions, and regulations communicated by the College. Non-compliance with these rules may lead to housing privilege revocation. Students are required to verify the room’s condition upon occupancy, and the College will conduct regular health and safety inspections. Tampering with health and safety items will result in the termination of the housing contract.

The College maintains the right to terminate a student’s housing assignment if the student isn’t registered as a full-time student (with at least twelve semester credit hours), stops attending classes, exhibits health issues impacting group living, displays disruptive behavior detrimental to communal living, or violates residential living regulations.
