Student Handbook 2021-2022

Guarantee of Space

All inquiries for on-campus housing should be directed to the Residence Life Office at 706-778-3000 ext. 1357.

The University guarantees housing for applicants who have paid a housing deposit and have signed a housing contract. There is no guarantee of single or double occupancy for any residence hall room on campus. Assignments are made based on space available. The University reserves the right to assign students to another space, room, or hall, when it appears to be in the best interest of individuals or groups of students. Specific policies concerning campus housing are described in the residence hall contract.

The University may revoke housing privileges of students when it is determined that a student is not actually residing in their assigned space. Failure to attend classes or lack satisfactory academic performance, could result in loss of housing privileges.

The University reserves the right to determine that past behavior and/or criminal activity is such that the interests of the University, the resident, and/or other residents would best be served by cancellation of the contract. If the University becomes aware that the resident has a record of criminal conviction or other actions indicating behavior that could pose a risk to person or property and/or could be injurious or disruptive to the residence hall community, the University may not accept or may cancel the Housing Contract.

All residents are expected to maintain a healthy physical and mental wellbeing while residing in the residence halls. Any resident whose behavior indicates otherwise may be required to have an examination by a health care provider or consultation with a University official. Furthermore, should it be determined that a health or safety concern exists, the University reserves the right to suspend or revoke the resident’s Housing Contract.

It is the policy of Piedmont University to offer full, equal, and non-discriminatory assistance to all students without regard to race, color, religion, nationality, disability, sexual-orientation, or sex in both placement in University housing and in the furnishing of facilities and services relating to that housing.
