Student Housing and Meal Plan Agreement, University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe

STUDENT HOUSING AND MEAL PLAN

LICENSE AGREEMENT

ACADEMIC YEAR 2022-2023

This Student Housing and Meal Plan License Agreement (this “Agreement”) is a legally binding agreement entered into among

and between the individual signing this Agreement to reside in student housing (hereinafter referred to as “Resident”), and the

Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education on behalf of the University of Nevada, Reno (hereinafter referred to

as “University”) for the agreed-upon License Term (defined below).

Please read all sections of this Agreement carefully prior to signing and submitting this Agreement, including the attached

Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability (the “Assumption of Risk”) and Terms and Conditions (the “Terms and

Conditions”), both of which are part of this Agreement for all purposes, incorporated as if fully set forth herein. This Agreement

is Resident’s personal, non-transferable license to occupy and use residence space assigned to Resident by the University (the

“Unit”) for limited purposes and is not a lease of University property. Resident acknowledges and agrees that given the purposes

of the University as set forth by law, Resident’s occupancy of any Unit must be consistent with the purposes of the University,

and any interpretation of this Agreement must account for the educational mission and purposes of the University.

Once space is available, Resident will be assigned to student housing at the designated rate for the applicable Unit. Subject to

availability, acceptance of Resident’s Housing Application, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, University agrees to provide

Resident a space in one of the following student housing options (“Housing”): Campbell-Friedman Hall, Prim-Schultz Hall, or

another subsequently identified housing option. Unless sooner terminated in accordance herewith, the term of this Agreement (the

“License Term”) shall commence on the date the University receives Resident’s signed Agreement and Down Payment (the

“Effective Date”) and continue until the Move-out Date designated by the University (“Move-out Date”). Notwithstanding the

same, Resident may not commence occupancy of the Housing until the Move-in Date designated by the University for the

applicable Academic Year, Spring Semester, or Summer Semester (the “Move-in Date”).

The University shall assign each Resident’s housing, in its discretion, based on numerous factors, including but not limited to

availability, date application and fees are received, and Resident’s participation in specific residential programs. Acceptance and

processing of this Agreement by the University does not constitute approval of academic admission to the University.

Application for admission to the University does not entitle a student to housing or constitute an agreement by the

University to provide a student housing.

Prior to executing this Agreement, Resident must have completed the application for housing (the “Application”) available

through the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe website (unr.edu/lake-tahoe

). Resident certifies that all information in the

Application is truthful, accurate and complete. Resident hereby certifies that Resident answered the questions on the Application

with regard to criminal activity truthfully and hereby confirms that Resident is not a convicted and/or registered sexual offender

and covenants that Resident will not permit access to housing by any convicted and/or registered sexual offender. To the

maximum extent permitted by law, University reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to determine if any past or present

behavior, conduct, or activity of any Resident is such that the interest of University, Resident, and/or other students would best be

served by denying the Application, not assigning Resident to reside in housing and/or terminating this Agreement.

If Resident has not demonstrated commitment to attend the University by July 31 (including, but not limited to, registering for

classes, attending or scheduling to attend orientation, submitting vaccination documentation, etc.), University may reassign

Resident to a wait list. Residents reassigned to a wait list due to their failure to demonstrate commitment to attend the University

forfeit any priority their Application may have otherwise been given, and are not guaranteed a housing assignment.

All Residents are required to purchase a residential meal plan during the entire License Term, regardless of housing assignment.

This Agreement and Resident’s occupancy of the Unit is governed by and subject to the Assumption of Risk; Terms &

Conditions; Community Standards, Expectations, and Residential Conduct Process (as amended or modified from time to time,

“Standards and Expectations”) published at the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe website

and the Student Code of

Conduct (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Student Code of Conduct”) published by University’s Office of the

Dean of Students on its website; each of which are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. Resident

should carefully review each of these materials prior to executing this Agreement. By requesting housing and signing this

Agreement, manually or electronically, each Resident (and parent/guardian, if applicable) acknowledges that Resident is

subject to the Agreement, including the Assumption of Risk, Terms & Conditions, the Standards and Expectations, and

the Student Code of Conduct, has read and agrees to be bound by such documents, and agrees and covenants that

Resident will abide by them.

Resident agrees that submission of this Agreement constitutes their electronic signature under Nevada law. Resident represents

and agrees that they are the individual named and that the electronic signature constitutes Resident’s signature on the document

referenced herein as if actually signed in ink.

By electronically signing the Agreement, you further represent that you have read, understand and accept the terms of this

Agreement, including the Assumption of Risk and the Terms and Conditions, and are knowingly and voluntarily agreeing to be

legally bound thereby. The Assumption of Risk waives important legal rights Resident might otherwise have. As a result,

we urge you and your parent or legal guardian to read these documents, especially the Assumption of Risk, carefully

before you sign and submit the Agreement.

If Resident is not yet eighteen (18) years of age at the time this Agreement is executed, Resident’s parent or legal guardian must

also electronically execute and be a party to this Agreement.

Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability

This Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability (“Assumption of Risk”) is applicable to Resident’s license to occupy a Unit,

and constitutes a material inducement to University’s agreement to enter into the Student Housing and Meal Plan License

Agreement (“Agreement”). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

By electronically submitting the Agreement, Resident (and Resident’s parent or legal guardian on behalf of themselves and the

Resident if Resident is under eighteen (18) years of age) confirms that they understand and acknowledge that the decision to

reside in University Housing is voluntary. They further understand and agree that residing in Housing involves certain risks

which include potential exposure to communicable diseases and infections, including without limitation COVID-19. Knowing

this information and the risks related to residing in Housing, in consideration of issuance of the Agreement, Resident (and

Resident’s parent or legal guardian, if applicable) expressly and knowingly agree as follows:

INFORMED CONSENT: The University has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of infectious diseases,

including without limitation COVID-19; however, I understand and acknowledge that infectious diseases like COVID-19 are a

public health risk, and the University cannot guarantee my safety or immunity from infection. I agree I am responsible for

maintaining my personal health, and acknowledge living in close proximity within a community of learners may increase the

likelihood of becoming sick. I have been informed that infectious diseases, including without limitation COVID-19, are highly

contagious, can be spread from person to person by direct or indirect contact, and that residing in Housing may increase the

potential for me to be exposed to or infected by such diseases, including through interaction with fellow residents, other students,

faculty, staff, volunteers, guests and vendors. In addition, I understand that by exposure to or infection by an infectious disease,

including without limitation COVID-19, I could sustain serious personal injuries, illness, temporary or permanent disability or

death as a consequence of not only the University’s actions, inactions, negligence or fault, but also the actions, inactions,

negligence or fault of others or myself, and that there may be other risks not known to me or not reasonably foreseeable at this

time. I further understand and agree that any injury, illness, temporary or permanent disability or death that I may sustain by any

means is my responsibility except for those occurrences due to the University’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK: I understand that there are potential risks of being exposed to or infected by an infectious disease,

including without limitation COVID-19, incidental to my residence in Housing, which may cause death, illness, temporary or

permanent disability or injury and other risks that are unknown at this time. I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME

ALL SUCH RISKS, BOTH KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE ACTS OF THE UNIVERSITY,

UNLESS AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT THEY ARISE FROM GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT

BY THE UNIVERSITY. I ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL RELATED CONSEQUENCES OF MY DECISION

TO RESIDE IN HOUSING.

RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY: With full awareness and appreciation of the risks involved, and to the maximum

extent permitted by law, I, individually, and on behalf of my heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors

and assigns, hereby forever release, waive, discharge and agree not to sue the University and its regents, officers, employees,

agents, volunteers and representatives, from any and all liability, loss, claims, demands, causes of actions (known or unknown),

suits, judgments, cost, expense or attorneys’ fees, including, but not limited to, those arising from death, illness, disability or

injury which, directly or indirectly, arise out of, occur during, or are in any way the result of exposure to or infection by an

infectious disease (including without limitation COVID-19) in connection with residing in Housing, REGARDLESS OF

WHETHER THE DEATH, ILLNESS, DISABILITY OR INJURY IS CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE OF THE UNIVERSITY,

UNLESS CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF THE UNIVERSITY, AND

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DEATH, ILLNESS, DISABILITY OR INJURY, OCCURS BEFORE, DURING OR

AFTER MY RESIDENCE IN HOUSING. I further agree that the University is not in any way responsible for any death, illness,

disability or injury or damage that I sustain as a result of my own acts.

RULES AND CONSENT TO TESTING AND RELOCATION:

• I agree to conduct myself in accordance with University policies and procedures related to infectious disease, including

without limitation those related to COVID-19. Such policies and procedures may include existing or later created

policies restricting visitors, guests, events, and social activities; policies, if any, encouraging or mandating vaccination;

and policies restricting resident occupancy in common areas.

• With respect to COVID-19 specifically, I acknowledge and understand that the circumstances are frequently changing

and that, accordingly, applicable laws, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) guidelines, and related

University policies are regularly modified and updated. I accept full responsibility for being familiar with and

following the most recent updates (including those, if any, relating to self-monitoring, social distancing, use of face

coverings, testing, vaccination, and hygiene).

• Without limiting the foregoing, I expressly acknowledge that the University reserves the right to require, to the extent

authorized by then-existing-law, vaccination against COVID-19 as a condition to living in Housing. In the event later

enacted law, Nevada System of Higher Education policy, and/or University policy mandate vaccination, irrespective of

whether I have already moved into my Unit, I agree that, unless I have been granted an accommodation, my failure to

comply with such law and/or policy shall be grounds for the University to terminate my License. I acknowledge that if

my License is so terminated, my account will be charged a contract cancellation fee in accordance with the License

Agreement Cancellation Fee chart in Section IX(c) of the Terms and Conditions.

• I acknowledge that in order to check in to my Unit, regardless of vaccination status, I may be required to present

documentation confirming that, within seventy-two (72) hours prior to my check in, I have tested negative for the

COVID-19 virus.

In the event I am absent from my Unit for a period equal to or greater than ten (10) days, regardless of

vaccination status, I acknowledge I may be required to present documentation confirming that, within

seventy-two (72) hours prior to my return to the Unit, I have tested negative for COVID-19.

• I hereby expressly consent to further testing in the event I show symptoms of COVID-19. According to the CDC,

symptoms of COVID-19 may include, but are not limited to, fever, cough, loss of smell, or shortness of breath.

• I will inform LakeTahoeHousing@unr.edu

if I have experienced COVID-19 symptoms in the fourteen (14) days prior

to commencing occupancy of the Unit, or at any time during the License Term. In such circumstances, if the

University, in its sole discretion, determines it necessary or advisable, I agree that the University may delay my ability

to move into Housing and/or reassign me to alternative Housing where I can be intentionally self-isolated from others

(assistance with food delivery will be coordinated by University).

• If diagnosed by a licensed medical professional with a communicable condition, including without limitation COVID-

19, I agree not to check in, or if applicable, to remove myself from Housing at my own expense and self-quarantine for

the then-recommended period of time established by the University Student Health Center, or longer if applicable, until

a licensed medical professional provides documentation that I am safe to return to Housing.

o If I have extenuating circumstances preventing me from relocating off-campus, I will notify

LakeTahoeHousing@unr.edu

and hereby consent to be relocated to alternative Housing where I can be

intentionally self-isolated from others (assistance with food delivery will be coordinated by University).

• I agree that if my roommate(s) tests positive for COVID-19 at any time during the Lease Term, the University may, in

its sole discretion, require me to self-isolate in my Unit for the then-recommended period of time established by the

University Student Health Center, or longer if applicable. Additionally, the University may require me to relocate to

alternative Housing where I can be intentionally self-isolated from others, and I hereby consent to the same. In either

event, assistance with food delivery will be coordinated by University during such period of self-isolation.

• I acknowledge that the University has the right to terminate my License if it is determined that my conduct is

detrimental to the best interests of the University or the health and safety of other residents, or if my conduct violates

any policies or procedures instituted by the University to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. I further

acknowledge my account will be charged a contract cancellation fee in accordance with the License Agreement

Cancellation Fee chart in Section IX(c) of the Terms and Conditions.

the removal of any property and daily storage fees. If Resident’s property is not reclaimed and storage fees paid

within thirty (30) days after the expiration or any termination of this Agreement, such property will be treated as

abandoned property, and the University may donate or otherwise dispose of such property without liability.

b. At the conclusion or termination of this Agreement, Resident must check-out of Housing by scheduling a check-

out appointment with a University staff member where the appropriate inventory form(s) is completed and access

can be turned off. Failing to follow this process correctly will result in Resident’s account being assessed an

improper check-out charge of $250.00 in addition to applicable cleaning and damage charges.

c. Resident shall be obligated to pay the amounts due under this Agreement, including if Resident vacates or

abandons the Unit, as described in Section IX(c).

XI. Termination of Agreement by University:

a. In addition to any other rights and remedies available under this Agreement or otherwise at law, University

reserves the right to terminate this Agreement for good cause. Examples of good cause include, but are not limited

to, any of the following circumstances:

• After 10th day following Move-In Date, Resident fails to physically move in to assigned Unit, and has

not officially cancelled their housing application or made alternate arrangements approved in writing

by the University;

• University becomes aware that Resident has abandoned or ceases to physically be present and reside

in such a Unit for a period of more than thirty (30) days;

• Resident’s conduct and/or criminal record indicates an actual or perceived threat or danger to the

University community, including but not limited to, a student or University employee;

• Failure of Resident to maintain eligibility status to live in Housing, including failure to maintain status

as a student at University enrolled in at least twelve (12) units per semester (or six (6) units for

graduate students);

• Resident’s breach of any term or condition of this Agreement, including failure to pay required fees in

accordance herewith;

• Administrative necessity of University;

• Suspension or other conduct action against the Resident, including without limitation conduct which

violates any policies or procedures instituted by the University to reduce the spread of infectious

diseases such as, but not limited to, COVID-19.

b. University shall provide Resident not less than seventy-two (72) hours’ prior written notice, except in cases of

emergency, of any termination pursuant to Section XI(a). The notice shall state the reason for termination and the

termination date.

• Resident shall be required to surrender the Unit and all University-owned property to the University

no later than the termination date under the same terms and conditions as would apply under this

Agreement if the surrender were to take place at the completion of this Agreement.

• After the termination date, the University shall be entitled, without further notice, to enter the Unit

and to repossess the same, and to remove Resident and Resident’s property without any liability for

trespass or otherwise.

• If Resident fails to vacate the Unit, the University may pursue any available remedy, including

pursuing an action for unlawful detainer or other similar suit. The University may reassign the Unit or

any part thereof on such terms and conditions as the University may determine.

c. Notwithstanding the provisions in this Section or any other provisions of the Agreement, the University

specifically reserves the right to prevent an individual from moving-in to housing, and to immediately remove any

individual from Housing if the University, in its sole discretion, determines that the individual presents an

immediate danger to their self, others or to property. Additionally, the University reserves the right to re-assign

any Resident to alternate Housing if the University determines re-assignment necessary or prudent. The University

may relocate any Resident without cause or prior notice for health or safety reasons, or to protect University

property, restore operations, or to meet the needs of the University community or any of its individual members.

d. No termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall relieve the Resident of

Resident’s obligations and liability under this Agreement and such liabilities and obligations shall survive any

termination of this Agreement.

e. Resident’s account at the University will be charged for all costs, charges and fees incurred by Resident or by

University on behalf of, or because of, Resident through the License Term. If the effective date of termination

occurs in the Fall semester, University reserves the right to hold Resident accountable for paying all housing

charges through the end of the Fall semester, as opposed to the full License Term. If applicable, Resident’s

account will be charged a contract cancellation fee in accordance with the License Agreement Cancellation Fee

chart in Section IX(c).

XII. Destruction or Unavailability:

a. If the Resident’s Unit should at any time be rendered uninhabitable in whole or in part by any cause whatsoever,

other than the acts or omissions of Resident or any of Resident’s guests, the University may, at its option, repair

and replace the damaged room within a reasonable time, relocate Resident to alternative Housing, or immediately

terminate this Agreement without liability to Resident. If Resident’s Unit is rendered uninhabitable due to the

negligent or intentional actions or omissions of Resident, the University may terminate this Agreement and pursue

any rights any remedies it may have against Resident under this Agreement or at law.

b. In the event that bed space is unavailable as the result of conditions not reasonably foreseen at the time this

Agreement is made, provided University is unable to accommodate Resident in alternative Housing, Resident shall

be entitled to a pro-rated refund of any housing fees applicable to periods after Resident was required to vacate.

Such conditions include, but are not limited, to accidents, floods, slides, fires, earthquakes, winds, storms,

explosions, natural disasters, or other casualties of any nature; enemy or hostile governmental action; wars,

blockades, insurrections, or civil disorder; strikes, lockouts or labor disputes; law, order, proclamation, ruling,

regulation, directive, or ordinance of any governmental authority having jurisdiction; pandemics, epidemics, or

other outbreaks of disease or infection; unanticipated interruption of basic services; a drop in the rate of

cancellations not reasonably foreseen by University, if such drop results in an overbooking of available housing

facilities.

XIII. Treatment of Indebtedness:

a. Resident acknowledges that failure to satisfy the financial obligations of this License Agreement may, to the

maximum extent permitted by law, result in the following:

• Imposition of a late fee, in accordance with the fee schedule

• The cancellation, suspension, or termination of components of Resident’s meal plan

• Temporary removal of internet access and/or cable access

• Lock change

• Placing a negative service indicator on Resident’s account,

a. University shall have the right to enter the premises occupied by Resident for the purposes of emergency, health,

safety, fire and life safety, occupancy management, facility maintenance, management of applicable rules and

regulations, or for any other lawful purpose. University shall exercise these rights reasonably with respect for

Resident’s right to be free from unreasonable searches and intrusions into study or privacy.

XV. Notices:

a. Resident agrees that while Resident is enrolled at the University, University will communicate with Resident

through Resident’s official University email account for all aspects of this Agreement, including but not limited to,

Housing and Meal Plan charges, notices of other charges, refunds, applicable housing information, student

conduct communication, or termination of this Agreement.

b. Resident agrees to check Resident’s University email account on a regular basis. Resident’s failure to check

Resident’s official University email account does not relieve Resident from any obligations under this Agreement.

c. University acknowledges any notice required or permitted to be given under the Agreement to Resident after

Resident ceases to be enrolled at the University must be in writing and may be served by depositing the same with

the United States Postal Service, addressed to Resident at the Unit and to the last known address on file with the

University, postage-prepaid and in registered or certified form; by hand delivery to the Unit and to the last known

address on file with the University; or by deposit with Federal Express or other reputable courier for overnight

delivery.

• Notice given as required herein will be effective on the date actually received at the address to which

such notice was sent, or if delivery is refused or not accepted, such notice shall be effective on the

date of such refusal or failure to accept delivery.

d. For purposes of notice to University relating to this Agreement at any time before, during or after Resident’s

enrollment at the University, Resident must email written notice to LakeTahoeHousing@unr.edu

XVI. Indemnification:

a. To the maximum extent permitted by law, and as consideration for the terms and conditions of this Agreement,

Resident agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Board of Regents, the Nevada System of Higher

Education, the University of Nevada, Reno, the State of Nevada, and their respective regents, officers,

administrators, agents, employees, volunteers, representatives, successors and assigns (“Indemnitees”) from any

and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, liens, costs and/or expenses, controversies, causes of action, lawsuits,

proceedings, injuries (including death), judgments and expenses (including attorney fees and other costs or

expenses) (each, a “Claim”) if the Claim is caused in whole or in part by any of the following: (a) any infectious

disease Resident or Resident’s guest (each an “Indemnifying Party”) contracts or is otherwise exposed to as a

result of residing, visiting, or otherwise being in Housing; (b) an act or omission by an Indemnifying Party; (c) the

refusal or failure to comply with any obligation in the Agreement by an Indemnifying Party; or (d) violation of

applicable law(s) by an Indemnifying Party.

b. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Resident shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitees from or against any

Claim to the extent it results from legal fault of one or more Indemnitees. Nothing contained in this Agreement

shall be construed to waive or limit University’s defense of sovereign immunity, which defense is hereby

expressly reserved, nor to waive or limit the protections afforded to University under NRS 41.0305 to 41.039.

XVII. Miscellaneous:

a. Non-Waiver: Resident and University acknowledge the waiver of any breach of a term or condition of the

Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.

subject matter hereof the Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements, understandings or

negotiations, whether written or oral. This Agreement may be amended only through a written document executed

d. Severability: If any provision or any portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal, or

unenforceable, the remaining provisions or portions of any provisions shall be valid and enforceable to the extent

possible.

e. Force Majeure: Neither party shall be deemed to be in violation of this Agreement if it is prevented or delayed

from performing any of its obligations hereunder (except Resident’s payment obligations) due to accidents, floods,

slides, fires, earthquakes, winds, storms, explosions, natural disasters, or other casualties of any nature; enemy or

hostile governmental action; wars, blockades, insurrections, or civil disorder; strikes, lockouts or labor disputes;

law, order, proclamation, ruling, regulation, directive, or ordinance of any governmental authority having

jurisdiction; pandemics, epidemics, or other outbreaks of disease or infection; or unanticipated interruption of

basic services. In such an event the intervening cause must not be through the fault of the party asserting such an

excuse, and the excused party is obligated to promptly perform in accordance with the terms of the Agreement

after the intervening cause ceases.
