Each student desiring to reside in University housing will be required to sign a Kentucky State University Two Semester Residence Hall Contract and pay a Housing Reservation Fee of $250. All fees must be paid in the form of cash, certified check, cashier's check, money order, personal check, or major credit card. Housing reservation fees are non-refundable.
Every effort will be made to honor an applicant's preference of residence hall and roommate assignment; however, a particular room is not guaranteed. Assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis according to the date the deposit is received. Each student will be required to sign a University Two Semester Residence Hall Contract, which sets forth the conditions for student housing. Semester room charges must be paid per two semesters during the regular academic year. Summer session room fees are due at the beginning of the summer term. All fees and expenses are payable in accordance with the fee payment deadlines found in the Academic Calendar.
Any room and board refund eligibility is determined by the agreement set forth in the housing contract. The schedule and amount of eligible room and board refunds is governed by the University Tuition and Fee Refund Policy (found on the Bursar's website, www.kysu.edu/administration-governance/finance-business/bursar) for each semester.
Students are expected to care for their rooms and to keep them clean and orderly. Kentucky State University attempts to make it possible for students to enjoy good living conditions; therefore, it expects those who occupy rooms in the residence halls to keep them in good condition. Students will be charged for any damage to University property.
The University requires each resident to pay $60 annually for a Theft, Fire, Natural Disaster and Accidental Damage insurance policy. Kentucky State University shall not be responsible for any resident student's loss of property, theft of property, or damage of property. Students will be responsible for filing the appropriate claims through the insurance policy provider.
