« General Information | License Agreement: FAQs | Resident Halls »
Each student must fill out and sign a Housing Information Form and License Agreement, which is a legally binding contract that states what the
college will provide to the student as well as rights and responsibilities. Here are a few of the frequently asked questions concerning the License Agreement:
When do I get my “deposit” back?
The non-refundable $100 confirmation payment you submit to reserve your space at Olivet College is not a deposit. This amount is applied to your charges for the upcoming semester.
When can I move in?
The residence halls open at noon on the Sunday preceding the start of classes for upperclassmen in any given semester. Early arrivals must be approved by the Office of
Student Life and are only permitted for students required to be on campus prior to opening. Freshmen and new students move in
during the Advanced Learning Term, which begins just before the fall semester.
What if I need housing during vacations/breaks?
The residence halls are closed during formal vacation periods such as Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break and Spring Break. A limited number of students who are required to stay on campus during these periods may be granted permission to stay, however, most students should plan to make alternate arrangements.
Can I have a single room?
A limited number of single rooms are available to upperclass students, and will be assigned to those students requesting singles with the highest GPAs and total credits earned. First year students are not eligible for single rooms.
How do I get an exemption from the residency requirement?
If you meet one or more of the criteria for exemption mentioned in the License Agreement, simply check the appropriate box on your Housing Information Form and the exemption will be granted. If you do not meet any of the criteria but wish to be considered for a special exception, please submit your request in writing to the
vice president for student life.
Once I have entered into the License Agreement, is it possible to break the License?
Generally, no. The License is legally binding for the duration of the agreement (usually two semesters). However, the terms of the agreement do provide for students to request a release from the in certain situations. Any approvals for release from the agreement will constitute a forfeiture of the $100 confirmation payment. Release request forms are available at the Housing Office.
