intentionally creating conflict is referred to as a hostile roommate. The “hostile” roommate(s) will be
subject to re-location or removal from housing. In addition, the hostile roommate will be referred to the
Community Standards Review Board for a violation of the Community Standards and Code of
Conduct violation.
TEMPORARY HOUSING POLICY
The College makes every effort to offer housing based on capacity. Because Spelman has limited
on-campus housing, students are sometimes assigned to temporary living accommodations at the
beginning of each semester until a permanent room assignment can be arranged.
TUITION & ROOM AND BOARD FEES
All returning residential students will be required to have their balance paid in full by the stated
College deadlines. If you have opted for the deferred payment plan, 50% of the semester’s fees must
be paid by the identified deadline. Residential students who do not meet their institutional financial
obligation by the stated deadline may be subject to removal from the assigned residence hall space
and placed on a housing waitlist. Students will be notified of the change in residence hall status by
electronic communication. The Office of Housing and Residence Life will not guarantee on-campus
accommodations once students are placed on the housing waitlist.
