The two residence halls in question at SOU, Shasta and McLoughlin, are owned by a third party, Collegiate Housing Foundation. The university had told students interested in getting out of their leases for spring term (since SOU is doing remote-only instruction) that they would need until the end of spring break to negotiate with the owners on behalf of students.<\/p>\n
In fact, students received word from the university about what an exit might spell for them a few days earlier than expected.<\/p>\n
As with students in university-owned residence halls, students must petition to leave Shasta or McLoughlin through University Housing, an update from SOU President Linda Schott said March 31.<\/p>\n
\u201c(The petition) will be reviewed, approved and a credit (refund) will be applied to the student\u2019s account. The student will receive a refund equal to any excess amount paid,\u201d the message said.<\/p>\n
