Student Housing Contract
2024 - 2025

The purpose of this housing contract (this “Contract”) is to establish the terms and conditions of all residents residing at the Nyweide-Scott Apartments (the “MCC Apartments”) located on the Muscatine Community College (“MCC”) campus.  By moving into the MCC Apartments, you as a resident, agree to the Contract terms and conditions contained herein.

NOTE:  MCC reserves the right to amend or change the Contract terms and conditions at any time at the sole discretion of MCC.  If these Contract terms and conditions are amended or changed, residents will be notified in writing of the amendment or change.  All residents are expected to have knowledge of the terms and conditions contained in this Contract.

    2. Obtain a move-in packet and pick up apartment keys and key fob.

    4. Return all forms to the Residential Life Coordinator within 48 hours of moving in. (Residents who do not return paperwork within the stated timeframe may be held liable for all damages at the time of check out since pre-existing damages were never noted by resident).

    Alcoholic beverages are not allowed on the MCC campus, including the MCC Apartments parking lot and premises regardless of age. Residents found with alcohol, or found to have consumed alcohol, will be subject to disciplinary action. MCC is a smoking-free campus.  Smoking is defined as burning or inhaling of tobacco or other matter that can be smoked or inhaled, or the inhaling of smoke or vapor from an electronic smoking device.  Tobacco use, including cigarettes, cigar, pipes and smokeless tobacco, and the use of e-cigarettes are prohibited.  This includes the MCC Apartments and vehicles parked on any MCC property.

    The use of or possession of illegal drugs, narcotics, or hallucinatory agents and drug paraphernalia is prohibited on MCC property, including MCC Apartments.  Residents and/or their guests found responsible for manufacturing, processing, selling, delivering, providing, using, purchasing, misusing or possessing any narcotic drug(s), marijuana or other addictive, dangerous, or controlled substance on college property will be disciplined according to Eastern Iowa Community Colleges Student Code of Conduct and the Housing Contract.  All drug cases will be reported to the appropriate authorities.

    A drug search conducted by a law enforcement Canine Unit and officer will be unannounced. If the dog indicates that a substance may be found in the room, the Dean of Students or the Residential Life Coordinator will knock and follow regular procedures with entering a room.  If an illegal substance or paraphernalia is found, an arrest may be made and disciplinary procedures will follow.

  16. Disciplinary Procedures

    All residents of the MCC Apartments are under the jurisdiction of MCC and subject to the guidelines published in the Eastern Iowa Community College Student Handbook, the MCC Code of Conduct, the MCC Housing Code of Conduct and any other policy and/or rules governing MCC students (collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Code of Conduct”).  Such Code of Conduct shall be incorporated into the terms and conditions of this Contract.  Any sanctions imposed upon a resident by a Disciplinary Board or an official of the college are binding.

    If a resident is found responsible for violations of the Contract terms and conditions and/or the Code of Conduct, the resident is subject to disciplinary sanctions including eviction from the resident’s apartment and/or suspension from MCC.

    If a resident receives a disciplinary sanction which warrants removal from their apartment, the resident must leave within the time frame stated in the judicial sanction letter.  If the resident appeals the decision, the resident may be reassigned to another living space in the MCC Apartments, if available, pending the outcome of the appeal.  The resident’s original space in the apartment will not be reassigned until the completion of the appeal process.

    Under special circumstances, in order to provide for the safety and well-being of students and/or others, an administrative emergency removal and restriction from MCC and restriction from MCC property and facilities may be implemented before a judicial hearing takes place.  This removal will remain in effect until the case has been adjudicated.  In such a case, referral shall be made to the Dean of Students.  The Dean of Students shall adjudicate the case in a timely manner.  For routine violations of housing policies, the alleged violations will be addressed through a disciplinary conference with the Residential Life Coordinator. Disciplinary conferences afford the residents due process and a chance for their voice to be heard. Sanctions may include: a change in disciplinary status, written reprimands, restitution, and community service, the completion of educational boards or papers, and fines which shall be charged to resident’s account. Sanctions will be determined by the Manager of Academic Advising & Student Success and decisions may be appealed to the Dean of Students. In incidents where violations have occurred in the communal area and no person claims responsibility, all residents may be held accountable and sanctioned after disciplinary conferences have been held.

    If a resident Contract is terminated due to judicial action, the resident’s security deposit will be forfeited, and the resident will be charged for any outstanding balance owed on the Contract.  A charge will also be assessed to the resident if damages are present in the apartment for which the resident is responsible.
