It should be noted that students might share a two-bedroom apartment. If, for any reason, a student does not wish to share an apartment with another student, it is the responsibility of the student not accepting the housing assignment to make housing arrangements at the student’s own expense. Property should be cared for as if it belonged to the student. The student will be responsible for any damages incurred. The KPCOM reserves the right to change housing assignments at any time and to charge students for damages, extra cleaning, and/or Internet/cable expenses determined to be the students’ responsibility. Students are expected to keep track of their own long-distance phone calls, as well as Internet/cable charges in excess of the basic package provided. Students will be responsible for charges in excess of the basic packages. a. Pets Pets are not allowed in housing provided by the KPCOM, and students risk being evicted, as well as risk KPCOM from being evicted from the housing paying cleaning charges of the facility if they break this policy. b. Nonstudent Use of KPCOM-Provided Housing The KPCOM provides housing for KPCOM students only. If students choose to have members of their family accompany them on their rotations, they must arrange for, and assume, all responsibility and costs associated with family housing and travel at a location other than the KPCOM-provided housing. These arrangements for family housing must be made on the student’s own time. c. Students Who Elect to Not Use the KPCOM-Provided Housing The student may elect to live elsewhere rather than in the KPCOM-provided housing. Under no circumstances may the location of the housing interfere with the student’s ability to arrive at assigned duties on time at the rotation site. Please note: Any student who chooses to break the KPCOM housing policy risks disciplinary action for unprofessional behavior up to, and including, being reported to the SPC and dismissal from the KPCOM. 8. Meals at Clinical Training Sites The KPCOM does not request provision of meals for any of its students. If a medical institution wishes to provide meals, it may do so, but this is at the discretion of the medical institution. F. Transitioning to Graduate Medical Education 1.
