Messages sent by the University may include time sensitive information regarding Student accounts, announcements, and class information. Student is responsible for checking their TWU email on a regular basis and should clean out their email boxes diligently.

Housing & Dining utilizes TWU email and the Housing portal to communicate information including, but not limited to, housing assignments, billing issues related to Housing & Dining, and housing waiting list status.

Any notice, request, or other communication required or permitted to be delivered under the License shall be in writing and shall be deemed received when:

• Actually delivered by hand delivery;

For more information regarding Pioneer Portal and TWU email, visit www.twu.edu or contact the IT Help Desk at 940-898-3971. Student should add housing@twu.edu to their email address contacts, which may help avoid important housing mail being filtered into “junk” mail.

To be eligible for residing in University Housing, Student must be enrolled in classes at TWU. Eligibility to reside in University Housing will be lost if enrollment is not maintained.

Registered sex offenders, individuals convicted of any felony, and individuals involved in any conduct that may threaten the safety and security of others will not be eligible to live in University Housing. In addition, by signing this License, Student grants the University the right to conduct criminal background check(s), criminal history screening(s), and sex offender registry check(s) on Student at any time, either prior to assignment of space or during the License Term.

• Must be legally married;
• Must be a single parent who has legal custody of a child or children; or

  • Upon satisfactory completion of the License, which includes compliance with License and the University’s determination of the condition of the assigned space, the security deposit, or a portion thereof, may be refunded to Student’s TWU account or to the original method of payment.

If Student fails to timely make any payment or perform any obligation required of Student under this License or otherwise breaches this License through action, omission, or failure to act, Student shall be in default of this License.

All TWU default remedies are cumulative. Any delay or postponement by TWU to take action does not waive TWU’s rights or remedies. Upon Student’s default, TWU may, without the requirement of any further demand or notice of any kind and without waiver of any other right or remedy, enforce any remedy provided under this License or applicable law for such default, including, without limitation:

• Student’s clothes, furniture, and personal belongings have been substantially removed; and
• Student has not responded by email, for three (3) calendars days, to TWU’s notice left on the inside of the main entry door, stating that TWU considers the assigned space abandoned.

Student is expected to complete a proper check out prior to leaving the assigned space, as outlined in the TWU Residence Life Handbook. Failure to move out within the prescribed period may result in a $100 per day charge, conduct action, and/or TWU exercising its aforementioned default remedies. Student is jointly liable with Co-residents for assessed charges in the room, apartment, or shared spaces of the Residence Hall, unless the responsible individual is identified.

TWU will not be held responsible for Student’s property during License Term, after abandonment, after License Termination, or after conclusion of License Term.

Any and all such property of Student not removed by such date shall, at the sole option of TWU, irrevocably become the sole property of TWU. Student waives all rights to notice and all common law and statutory claims and causes of action which it may have against TWU subsequent to such date as regards the storage, destruction, damage, loss of use and ownership of the personal property affected by the terms of this section. Student acknowledges TWU’s need to permit other individuals to reside in University Housing and understands that the forfeitures and waivers provided herein are necessary to aid TWU in providing University Housing to other individuals. Student is encouraged to contact Housing & Dining as soon as possible after the conclusion of the License Term to discuss retrieving any personal property left behind; there are no guarantees made that the personal property will still be available though.

Student agrees that a public health crisis may adversely affect the Student’s TWU experience, as TWU adheres to evolving federal, state, and local executive orders and laws.

TWU expects that everyone will act in a manner that demonstrates respect and consideration for those around them, including respect and consideration for the health and safety of everyone living in University Housing. Student is prohibited from creating or exacerbating a health or safety hazard within University Housing; TWU may request or require a Student or visitor to leave if their continued presence poses a health or safety risk for the University Housing community. Student is required to comply with health and safety laws, orders, ordinances, regulations and health and safety guidance adopted by TWU as it relates to a public health crisis. Guidance is expected to evolve as a public health crisis evolves.

TWU reserves the sole right to terminate this License due to a public health crisis or emergency needs. Temporary University Housing closures shall not automatically terminate a Student’s obligations under the License. In no event shall TWU be obligated to provide alternate housing or to rebuild or replace any affected premises.

If there is a conflict between terms and conditions of this License and the Special Circumstances In the Event of a Public Health Crisis section, then the Special Circumstances in the Event of a Public Health Crisis section will control, so long as a public health crisis remains.

All headings in this License are for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect in limiting or otherwise construing any provision herein.

If any provision of this License is ruled to be illegal or invalid, it will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of the License.

Student agrees that TWU may unilaterally elect to take any University Housing out of service. If this occurs, then TWU may unilaterally amend the License upon written notice to Student, given not less than thirty (30) days prior to University Housing being put into Out Of Service status.

University shall not be held liable or responsible to Student nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this License for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation under this License when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the University, including but not limited to fire, floods, pandemics, embargoes, war, acts of war, insurrections, riots, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbances, or acts of God; provided, however, that the University shall use reasonable commercial efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance, and shall continue performance hereunder with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed.

A waiver by TWU for a breach of any term or condition by Student, under this License is not a waiver for a breach of any other term or condition by Student, or of any subsequent breach of the same term or condition. No term or condition of this License shall be considered waived unless such a waiver shall be expressed in writing as a formal amendment to this License and executed by TWU and Student.

The License and all documents incorporated herein constitutes the entire agreement between Student and TWU, with regard to the subject matter hereof. This License supersedes all previous understandings and discussions, whether oral, written, and/or via email correspondence.
