professionally staffed by Residence Hall Managers and supported by students who serve as Resident Assistants. Meals are provided at the Underwood Cafeteria in the Student Center.

The Office of Residence and Student Life encourages personal development through in-hall programs, academic and social activities, and is responsible for ensuring that students have an atmosphere conducive to studying. Students are encouraged and supported to assume responsibilities that foster growth away from home. The Office of Residence and Student Life ensures that the physical condition of the residence halls is maintained at an optimal level and that opportunities are provided for social interaction in the residence halls.

Security of all residence halls is a priority. All exterior doors in the residence halls are locked 24hrs a day 7 days a week. Upon entering any residence hall on campus, all students and staff must have proper photo identification.

Applications for room assignments can be submitted year-round; however, applications are processed only after students have been officially admitted to the University. Requests for room reservations should be addressed to the Office of Residence Life.

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 to:

Kentucky State University, Office of Residence and Student Life, 400 East Main Street, Academic Services Building, Room 317, Frankfort, Kentucky, 40601. (Please do not mail cash.) 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 schedule in the Student Expenses section of this Catalogue.

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 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.
