The Residence Hall License Agreement sets forth the basic terms and conditions for living in the residence halls. It contains the MassArt housing policy, explains room assignment and billing procedures, specifies the duration of the agreement, withdrawal and refund policies, rules and regulations, and contains information regarding meal plan options and policies.
All residence hall students must submit a signed copy of the Residence Hall License Agreement.
This is a binding document for the entire academic year. Residents are released from the yearlong contract only under certain, special circumstances explained in the License Agreement and with the permission of the Director of Residence Life. Submitting a request to be released from the License Agreement should not be considered an automatic acceptance of release. The College will make decisions to terminate a License Agreement in a timely manner. Please note that the License Agreement does not convey a tenancy or other property interest to you; it creates a licensor/licensee relationship subject to the terms and conditions in the Agreement, in this Handbook, in the Student Handbook and in the Student Code of Conduct.
A copy of the 2024-2025 License Agreement is shared below as a PDF.
In order to reside in the residence halls, you must currently be enrolled or accepted at MassArt as a full-time matriculated student (at least 12 credits), in order to occupy a MassArt residence room. The Dean of Students and/or Director of Residence Life may make exceptions for part-time students.
All bills must be paid in full prior to occupancy.
