• Each academic year, students living in campus housing must have full-time or part-time status and be working towards a degree program in order to be eligible to renew their housing agreement.
• Housing agreements are typically for one year, in effect from June 1st through May 31st (or, for new students, effective from move-in date until May 31st)
• It is recommended that all tenants purchase renter’s insurance. The seminary does not assume liability for the loss or damage of any contents of an apartment.
• Each apartment has a small storage space (roughly 4 x 5 feet) in which residents can store household goods.
• Mailboxes are provided in each apartment building for first class and other U.S. Postal Service mail, with the exception of large envelopes and packages. Seminary-related mail is delivered to students through the student’s assigned seminary mailbox located in the Kerr building mailroom. Large packages and envelopes are delivered and received through the mailroom.
• Smoking and use of alcoholic beverages are not permitted in any building on campus.
• Pets of any kind are not permitted on campus.
