Policy (found on the Bursar's website, www.kysu.edu/administration-governance/finance-business/bursar) for each semester.

University Property Damage

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.

Property Insurance Requirement

The University requires each resident to pay 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.
