Upon notice of admission, students receive information about housing options. The Office of University Housing sends more detailed information about University housing options and applications to all admitted students at the appropriate time before each semester. It is not necessary to request application materials.
As space is limited, interested students are urged to submit their applications as quickly as possible. Assignments are made on a priority basis: 1) returning students and 2) all new residentsby the date application and payment are received in the Office of University Housing. Although applicants are given the opportunity to express preference, no guarantee can be given that specific preferences can be met.
The terms and conditions of occupancy for University apartment units require residents to file a 30-day notice of intent to vacate. Rent is charged for 30 days from the date the notice is filed in the resident manager's office. Residents who will not continue as full-time, degree-seeking students will be required to vacate the day following the last scheduled examination for the semester.
The Housing Agreement is included in the housing application packet.
Students who are unable or choose not to live in University housing have several housing options. A considerable number of apartments and homes located near campus are available for rent through local real estate agencies and private owners.
The Off-Campus Housing Office, a Student Government funded agency, serves as an information center, assisting students who seek off-campus housing. The office maintains a list of area houses, apartments, and private residence halls. The information available includes rental cost, deposit, distance from campus, lease terms, and amenities. Roommate requests are posted on a bulletin board outside the office located at 229 - 230 Activities Building, University Union.
The Florida State University wishes to address the needs of the total student whether those needs arise in the areas of social and cultural awareness, physical well-being, intellectual expansion, or spiritual and moral growth. The University seeks to provide students with these opportunities by offering various programs outside the classroom.
