The Summer Housing Contract is the basic document that states the student's and the University's contractual obligations. All information contained in the Carolina Housing web pages, including the Community Living Standards section, is a legally binding adjunct which is incorporated into the Summer Housing Contract.
It is the student's responsibility to become familiar with all provisions of the Summer Housing Contract, and provisions may be added or changed during the term of the Summer Housing Contract with appropriate prior notification to residents.
No term or condition of the Summer Housing Contract may be waived without the formal written agreement of both parties, and no oral statement made by Carolina Housing or its agents or employees is considered a waiver of any term or condition.
