I understand that my housing assignment at Rutherford Hall is contingent upon being admitted to the Franklin Residential College (FRC) and that once I am a confirmed member, University Housing will remove my name from consideration for any other on-campus housing options for that cycle. I also understand that there is an FRC program fee each semester, which was $40 in 2024-25. Finally, I understand that the Franklin Residential College reserves the right to renew FRC membership and residence at Rutherford Hall based on my regular participation in FRC events and activities.
