What does it mean to have an
individual lease?
Individual leasing means that
each person is only responsible for their portion of the common
areas and their bedroom. If your roommate ends up not coming back
for the spring semester, you’re not responsible for their
payment.
What is included in the
rent?
Central House on Stadium rent includes utilities (water, sewer, and
trash service), extended cable, Internet, washer & dryer, access to
all of
Central House on Stadium’s amenities, and a wonderful staff that is
there to help you anytime you need them.
Do you have a roommate
matching system?
Yes, we offer a roommate
matching system. If you don’t have anyone in mind that you would
like to live with, let us match you up with someone! There is a
Roommate Matching Sheet that you will fill out to let us know more
about what you’re looking for in a roommate. Then, we spend weeks
in the summer figuring out the best match for you based on that
information.
When is my rent
due?
Rent is always due the 1st of
the month. You can pay up front (due August 1), in semester
installments (due August 1 and January 1), or in twelve
installments (due August 1 and on the first of the month for the

belongings?
Central House on Stadium’s insurance will not cover your personal
belongings. We suggest getting renter’s insurance for this reason.

How do I report a
missing person?
Every student who lives in
on-campus housing may register one or more individuals to be a
contact strictly for missing persons purposes. This option will be
offered annually and upon move-in throughout the
semester.
In addition to registering a
general emergency contact, students residing in on-campus housing
have the option to identify one or more individuals to be
confidentially contacted by USAPD in the event the student is
determined to be missing. A student who wishes to identify a
confidential contact can do so by designating a missing persons
contact through the emergency contact link in PAWS. A student’s
confidential contact information will be accessible only by
authorized campus officials and law enforcement in the course of
the investigation.
If any person has a reason to
believe that a student who resides in on-campus housing is missing,
he or she should immediately notify the University of South Alabama
Police Department at (251) 460-6312. USAPD will initiate a
preliminary investigation.
Upon concluding that a student
is a missing person, USA Police will notify Mobile Police
Department and the student’s missing persons emergency contact no
later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing.
If the missing student is under the age of 18 and is not an
emancipated individual, USA Police will notify the student’s parent
or legal guardian within 24 hours of being determined missing. USA
Police may also enter the missing student into the National Crime
Information Center Missing Person
database.
