Personal Data & Roommate Matching

In order to assist us in selecting the best roommate match possible, the student (and no other persons) should complete this form as honestly and forthrightly as possible. When making residence hall, room and roommate assignments, the university does not discriminate based upon race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, or culture.

We have a new Roommate Matching program where you can find other students who are looking for roommates. Please check here if you are interested in participating in this program. By checking this box, you agree for the information below to be shared as well as your student phone number and your Drury Email. Entering this program does not guarantee your roommate preference will be honored as it depends on availability of assignments.

Would you like to join the Roommate Matching Program?

Yes

Roommate Matching Consent
If you select Yes, you agree that your preferred first name, Drury email address, student phone number, and the roommate-profile responses in this section may be shared with other students who are participating in the program for the purpose of identifying potential roommates. Participation does not guarantee a roommate request or assignment; final assignments depend on availability and mutual roommate requests.

General Housing Policies and Conditions

Eligibility and Contract Term

The student certifies that they will be enrolled as a full-time Drury day school student or enrolled in Drury graduate courses for the selected term.
Unless Housing approves an exemption or another permitted exception, full-time undergraduate day students subject to Drury's housing requirement agree to live in campus housing.
For a fall-entry student, this agreement is for the full academic year (fall and spring). For a spring-entry student, this agreement is for the remaining portion of the academic year. A one-semester agreement may be approved by Housing for circumstances such as graduation, study abroad, or student teaching.
Students admitted to campus housing after the beginning of a term will be charged according to the period of occupancy and the applicable meal plan charges.

Charges and Payment

The student authorizes Drury University to charge the student account for applicable room and board charges, approved private-room charges, damage or cleaning charges, key/lock charges, break-housing charges, cancellation charges, and other housing charges permitted by university policy.
The student is responsible for payment of all amounts due under this agreement. Unpaid balances may be subject to interest, collection costs, and legal fees permitted by university policy and applicable law.
Housing and meal plan rates are those approved for the student's selected term and are subject to university approval and published rate schedules.

Cancellation, Exemptions, and Withdrawal

This agreement may not be cancelled simply because the student changes their housing preference. A student who seeks release from a housing obligation must follow the Housing exemption or contract-release process.
If Housing approves an exemption or release, applicable cancellation fees and prorated room and meal plan charges may apply under the university's published policies.
Students who withdraw from Drury University should review the University's refund policies and contact Housing regarding the effect of withdrawal on the housing agreement.
Room and board are available according to the university calendar. Housing may be unavailable during designated closure periods unless break housing is approved.

Assignments and Roommate Changes

Room, building, roommate, suitemate, and preference requests are considered but are not guaranteed. Failure to receive a preferred assignment or roommate does not void this agreement.
If a vacancy occurs, Housing may assign another resident to the space, offer a private-room option when available, or require or coordinate a room consolidation or reassignment.
Housing may reassign students when necessary for occupancy, facilities, safety, conduct, accessibility, or other operational needs.
Students may not move into, out of, or between campus housing spaces without Housing approval and may not sublease university housing.
If a student does not occupy their assigned housing by the first day of classes and has not notified Housing of a delayed arrival, Drury may assign the space to another student. A delayed arrival or reassignment of the original space does not release the student from this agreement or applicable charges unless Housing approves a release in writing.

University Authority
Drury University may refuse, terminate, or cancel a housing assignment or this agreement when permitted by law or University policy, including for loss of housing eligibility, conduct or safety concerns, nonpayment, facility conditions, or significant operational needs. Any applicable charges or refunds will be determined under University policy.

University Policies
The following conditions are part of the housing agreement. More detailed or updated procedures may be published in the Community Standards Handbook and Housing & Residence Life materials.

Quiet hours are generally 11 p.m.–9 a.m.; courtesy hours apply 24 hours per day. Noise must not interfere with another resident's ability to study or sleep.
Residents must use approved methods for hanging items and are responsible for damage to walls, paint, woodwork, furniture, fixtures, and university property.
University furniture must remain in the assigned unit unless Housing gives permission otherwise.
Residents should keep rooms locked when unoccupied. The university is not responsible for personal property that is lost, stolen, or damaged; renters insurance is encouraged.
Lost keys, damaged keys, lock/core changes, or other access-related costs may be charged at the university's current published rate.
Authorized university personnel may enter residential spaces for emergencies, health and safety inspections, maintenance, custodial or technology service, suspected policy violations, move-out inspections, and other reasons permitted by university policy or law.
Residents must promptly report maintenance concerns and pre-existing damage. Residents are responsible for keeping assigned rooms and common areas reasonably clean and may be charged for damages or extraordinary cleaning.
Residents are responsible for their own conduct and may be held responsible for the conduct of their guests.
Guests must comply with Housing guest policies. Overnight guests must be registered when required by current Housing procedures.
University housing rooms, apartments, suites, and common areas may not be used to operate a business or enterprise; sell or provide products or services for commercial purposes; conduct commercial activity; or solicit customers, clients, or residents.
