East Georgia State College Housing Agreement
2024-2025 Academic Year

This Housing Agreement (this “Agreement”) should be read carefully and signed by Resident (and the Parent or Legal Guardian as a guarantor of Resident’s obligations under this Agreement if Resident is under age 18).

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia by and on behalf of East Georgia State College (“College”) is acting as the agent for Corvias Campus Living-USG, LLC (“Provider”) in administering this Agreement and the assignment of housing space to Resident.

Provider is the operator of Bobcat Villas-South and Bobcat Villas-West (the “Residence Facility”) to which Resident is assigned.

This Agreement is administered by College’s Office of Housing and Residence Life (“College Housing”).

I. TERM OF AGREEMENT

This Agreement is binding when executed by Resident (i.e., the date signed by Resident or submitted by Resident online). The Agreement obligates Resident for the entire academic year identified in the heading (consisting of the fall and spring semesters) or the portion of the academic year remaining after Resident moves into the Residence Facility (the “Term”).

College Housing will designate the date when a Resident may move into the Residence Facility and the date by which the Resident must move out of the Residence Facility. These dates will be published on the College Housing website. The Housing Facility may be closed during academic breaks. A calendar of official closings is published each year by College Housing and governs the times during which residency is available in the Residence Facility. All Residents must make alternative arrangements at their sole expense for housing during periods of closure of the Residence Facility. If Provider elects to allow Residents to remain in the Residence Facility during any academic break, Resident will be responsible for payment of all fees charged by Provider during that period.

II. HOUSING ASSIGNMENT AND GRANT OF LICENSE FOR USE OF SPACE

Provider agrees to furnish Resident with housing space in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement do not intend that an estate, a tenancy, or any interest in the property should pass to Resident from Provider, nor is it intended that a usufruct be granted to Resident. Instead, it is the intention of the parties that the relationship between Provider and Resident is one of licensor and licensee and that the sole right of Resident to use his/her assigned room as a living unit is based upon the license granted to Resident in this Agreement.

1. 1. Right of Occupancy. Provider will provide Resident with a space in the Residence Facility for his/her occupancy as a residence. The right of occupancy does not include the right to a specific residence space, roommate, or type of accommodation by this Agreement. College will make housing assignments on behalf of Provider subject to availability of space and without regard to race, religion, color, age, disability, national origin, or sexual Final determinations on housing assignments are in the sole discretion of College acting on behalf of Provider.

  2. Move-In. Move-in dates are published on the College Housing website. Resident must meet all residency requirements (as published on the College Housing website) before moving into Residence Facility. Resident must occupy the assigned space or deliver written notice of delayed arrival to the College Housing office no later than 9:00 a.m. on the first day of classes of the first academic term of residency. If Resident has not registered for courses and occupied Resident’s assigned room by 9:00 a.m. on the first day of classes, the room assignment may, at the sole discretion of College on behalf of Provider, be cancelled without notice to Resident, in which case Resident will be responsible for all fees described in the Cancellation Schedule B to this Agreement.
  3. Room Changes. No changes in room assignment will be based upon age, race, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, or online profiles except as needed to provide a reasonable accommodation to residents with eligible disabilities registered with the College Office of Counseling and Accessibility Services.

Residents who receive approval for a room change may be charged a room change fee as shown on the College Housing website, which will be posted to Resident’s account. Room changes that are not authorized by College Housing will result in a fine as shown on the College Housing website, which will be posted to Resident’s
