insurance against the loss or damage of individually owned personal property; students are encouraged to provide their own personal property
insurance coverage.
Student’s Responsibility for Damage and Loss of RMC Property
The student submission of the online condition report is the student’s acceptance of the condition of the room, suite, or apartment and its contents at the start of occupancy. The condition report is the standard for determining the condition of the room, suite, or apartment and contents at the termination of occupancy. The student is responsible for any damage or loss caused to the building, room, suite, or apartment, furniture, and equipment; ordinary wear and tear is expected. Damage or loss within student rooms, suites, or apartments will be charged to the assigned student’s deposit; in the cases of charges exceeding the deposit, balance charges will be assessed to the student’s account. The student agrees to pay such charges to RMC upon demand. Condition reports must be completed and submitted online within 72 hours of occupancy.
Termination
Students who wish to be released from this contract for any reason before the end of the contract period must file a written request
of termination with the Office of Residence Life. The Director of Residence Life will make the final decision regarding contract releases.
Regardless of reasons for termination of this contract prior to the expiration, the contracted student will be assessed a $250 cancellation fee and $25 per day occupancy fee. Refunds will not be processed until the final checkout is complete, cleaning and/or damage fees are assessed, furnishings/keys accounted for, and outstanding debt to RMC has been resolved. Any remaining deposit balance will be refunded to the student the semester following the date of termination.
A student whose Contract Cancelation Request is denied must pay the full amount of the room charges for the full contract period and will not be checked out until the expiration of the contracted term.
This contract may be terminated by the Office of Residence Life at any time for violation of the terms and conditions of this contract. If the contract is terminated, RMC may assess a $250 contract cancellation fee, retain all payments made under the contract, and may seek any other remedy in law or equity. If this contract is terminated, the student agrees to vacate the residence hall within 24 hours, unless written permission has been obtained from the Director of Residence Life. The student agrees to pay all reasonable costs, attorney’s fees, and expenses made or incurred by RMC in enforcing this contract.

check-out of their assigned space will be charged an improper check-out fee of $150.
