WELCOME TO EASTERN FLORIDA STATE COLLEGE STUDENT HOUSING
Vision and Mission The Eastern Florida State College Student Housing Corporation ( the “ Student Housing Corporation ”), a direct support organization of Eastern Florida State College ( the “ College ”), is committed to creating a supportive , safe , and engaging student housing community on campus that fosters personal development and academic success . The Student Housing Corporation seeks to provide students a caring community that is both intellectually and socially enriching , with an emphasis on student self-governance and a corresponding expectation of student accountability .
Student Accountability Living on campus is a privilege , not a right . Students are expected to behave in a responsible manner and observe the established rules and regulations of the College and Student Housing Corporation , as well as local , state , and federal laws . The College reserves the right to make additional rules and regulations as may be necessary from time to time for the safety , care , and cleanliness of the facility and / or for the preservation of order . Students who fail to meet the College ’ s expectations will be held accountable .
Family Education Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) We understand that this is an exciting time in students ’ lives and that parents want to ensure the best experience possible for their children . However , the College is limited in the scope of information it is permitted to share with parents and others due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ) of 1974 . For any representative of the Student Housing Corporation or College to speak with a parent or legal guardian about their son or daughter , a student must have a completed FERPA release form ( FERPA Authorization to Release Information ) on file with the College . For more information about FERPA , please visit : https :// www . easternflorida . edu / admissions / registrars-office / ferpaprivacy-act-info /
Immunization Florida Statute 1006.69 requires all students who attend a postsecondary educational institution and reside on campus to receive a meningitis and hepatitis B vaccine , or submit a waiver stating that they have made an informed decision not to be vaccinated ( if a student is under 18 years old , a parent or guardian must also sign the waiver .)
Annual Security Report Each year , in accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act , the College publishes an Annual Security Report . This report contains crime statistics and institutional policies and procedures relating to safety and security , including information about crime reporting , emergency announcements , sexual misconduct , alcohol and drugs , safety awareness , and resources available to the College community . The Annual Security Report is available for review by clicking on the following link : easternflorida . edu / documents / asr . pdf .
