OVERVIEW
LCSC provides living accommodations for students in four residence hall environments. The residence halls are relatively small, which contributes to a more personal environment and greater opportunity for involvement. All facilities have easy access to the Student Union Building, food service facility, and the Library and are within a short walk to any classroom building on campus. The residence halls are staffed with professional and paraprofessional staff. Residence Life staff are trained with the skills necessary to work with students, to encourage a positive community within our halls as well as to assist students to develop programming to meet their needs.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Request housing information from the Office of Residence Life, Clearwater Hall 216, 792-2053, or apply on-line at http:// www.lcsc.edu/reslife
2. Return the completed Housing Contract, signed Terms & Conditions, and $200 deposit to the Controller’s Office.

ROOM AND BOARD
Room and Board rates are charged on a semester or academic year basis. A $15 residence hall activity fee is charged per semester. Contracting for a room in one of the residence halls requires that a student purchase a meal plan option. New students are placed in available spaces in the order that the college receives the Housing Contract and a $200 deposit. The Housing Contract, by itself, will not hold a room for a student.

Upon receipt of the Housing Contract, Terms & Conditions and a $200 deposit, the student will be informed of his/her status in relation to available rooms. Only a limited number of rooms are available each year. If more Housing Contracts are received than the number of available rooms, students will be placed on a waiting list.

ROOM AND BOARD RATES, ACADEMIC YEAR CONTRACT
The following rates are estimates for the 2010-2011 academic year and are subject to change without notice. For more information on financial policies as it relates to room and board payments and/or cancellations, please see the terms and conditions of the residence hall contract.

Students can choose between three meals plans as part of their Room and Board fixed rate. Meal plans include a dinner meal everyday as well as brunch served on Saturday and Sunday. Students use flex dollars to purchase food at the dining center for breakfast and lunch as well as at The Jitterz Coffee Shop, or at athletic event concession stands.

The estimated meal plan rate for 2010-2011 is $1,400 per semester for a full meal plan. See the Residence Life website to determine actual rates after July 1.

Each academic year, all residents must pay the initial semester rate during their first semester of occupancy. Only students who have lived in campus housing during Fall Semester are eligible for the continuing semester rate.
