Questions for all residential students
A. We will do our best to keep as many roommates together as possible through this move. We understand that you have started to build a strong bond with your roommate, but we are confident that you will also be able to build a strong relationship with your new roommate. If we cannot keep roommates together, we will try to place students on the same floor or as suitemates.
Back To TopA. No, you will not experience a price increase if you go to another hall. We will honor the Ponce rate for all those impacted.
Back To TopA. As a wind-down of the federal HEERF (Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund) program, a one-time lump-sum payment will be disbursed to all eligible students. No application will be necessary. We will begin the distribution of these funds the week of September 5th. Additional information will be sent directly to all eligible students.
Back To TopA. Your room requires additional work and will not be ready yet. However, we understand your disappointment and are working to create the best overall on-campus residential experience despite our limitations.
Back To TopDeposit refund: Flagler’s $400 enrollment deposit is non-refundable, as we are still providing on-campus housing for you. In the event you decide to defer your enrollment, we can apply that deposit to either the Spring semester (January 2023) or the following Fall semester (Fall 2023). Please contact your admissions counselor for more information on the deferral process.
Tuition refund: Students will receive a refund for any payments made before move-in. After move-in, the student will be charged a daily rate up to the date of withdrawal. The daily rate will be based on the student’s room and board charges. Tuition will be adjusted 100% if a student withdrawals by the add/drop deadline. No adjustments will be made after the add/drop period.
Student loan refund: Student loans are not disbursed until after the drop/add period ends. Student loans will be canceled and will not be disbursed for any student who is not enrolled for the fall semester. Students who enroll and withdraw during the term will have their loans adjusted in accordance with the federal withdrawal calculation regulations.
Financial aid refund: Financial aid is not disbursed until after the drop/add period ends. Financial aid will be canceled and not be disbursed for any student not enrolled for the fall semester. Students who enroll and withdraw during the term will have their financial aid adjusted in accordance with federal, state, and institutional withdrawal calculation regulations.
Back To TopA. During the Ponce Hall renovation to install new flooring, paint, light fixtures, and furniture, the East Wing experienced a water leak from the Ponce’s fire suppression system on the third floor and damaged 46 newly completed rooms. The outcome of this event means that residential rooms in Ponce Hall East will be offline for the 2022-2023 years to allow for renovations from the leak and additional improvements that will further enhance the physical space.
Back To TopA. Your RA will help ensure your new living situation is as smooth as possible. We understand that these may not be your original roommate(s), but with intentional conversations and programming through the RAs, we are confident you will have a great living experience!
Back To TopA. Yes! If you need to change your move-in date, please email residencelife@flagler.edu.
Back To TopA. Unfortunately, you cannot appeal your room change at this time.

Back To TopA. We are excited to welcome a few early arrivals to campus and will ensure that the new rooms are ready and prepared to go for your move-in. You will be able to move into your newly assigned room by the time of your early arrival.
Back To TopYes, if you and your roommate have connected with other student(s) and that student(s) has agreed to change rooms. If you have made these arrangements, please email the Office of Residence Life with your details at residencelife@flagler.edu.

Back To TopQuestions for residential students going to the Sebastian Hotel
Here is a quick video showcasing the Sebastian Hotel rooms for residential students.
A. We are fortunate that the hotel is a quick 15-minute walk to the main campus. Flagler College will also offer shuttle services multiple times during the day so that if you would like to catch a ride to the main campus, you can! Shuttle service information and schedule will be emailed to you in a few short days, along with more information regarding the hotel.
Back To TopA. One vehicle per room is permitted to park at the hotel, which can be swapped with your roommate’s vehicle at any time. You and your roommate can determine whose car that is, but the other must park at the Abare Parking Garage. You are still required to have a Flagler College Parking Decal at the hotel.
Back To TopA. Visitors are allowed, but overnight guests must be approved by Residence Life.
Back To TopA. The policies in the hotel regarding alcohol, quiet hours, prohibited items, etc., will still be the same as a student living on campus. Students living at the Sebastian Hotel are expected to follow the same policies laid out in the Flagler College Student Handbook.
Back To TopA. This will not impact your meal plan. You will still be required to have at least the 10-meal plan but can upgrade to the 15 or unlimited if you wish!
Back To TopA. Flagler College security will be stationed at the Sebastian Hotel like they would at any other hall and provide rounds to ensure the safety and security of our students.
Back To TopA. Since we are utilizing a hotel that is not owned by Flagler College, we cannot allow the decoration of rooms or anything hung up on the walls.
Back To TopA. The hotel has a plethora of amenities that you can utilize, such as a study area, pool, gym, and fire pit! The hotel will have a microwave, mini fridge, and a food prep counter.
Back To TopA. The hotel does require queen-size bedding instead of the standard twin XL found in the other residence halls.
Back To TopA closet, two dressers, a wardrobe, and a refrigerator/microwave unit are available in every room. Additionally, there is room for a plastic three-drawer storage unit.

Back To TopQuestions for residential students being placed in triple rooms
A. No. Every resident will be provided with the same furniture as usual. Each resident will have a twin XL bed, mattress, desk, desk chair, dresser, and wardrobe. Furthermore, an extra micro-fridge will be added to those rooms that are now a triple.
Back To TopA. The cost of your room will not be adjusted if you were originally assigned a roommate. Flagler has a standard rate for all housing assignments where two or more students are housed together. Students moving from a single to a triple will have their rate adjusted to the standard rate.
Back To TopA. As a wind-down of the federal HEERF (Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund) program, a one-time lump-sum payment will be disbursed to all eligible students. No application will be necessary. We will begin the distribution of these funds the week of September 5th. Additional information will be sent directly to all eligible students.
Back To TopA. We have worked hard to ensure that all furniture will not only fit in the room but will be designed in a functional way so that the three of you can still make it your own space!
Back To TopQuestions for residential students who were in single rooms
A. Incoming students: Yes, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to honor your single request for a subsequent term. Please reach out to your admissions counselor should you decide to defer your enrollment. You can email the Office of Admissions at Admissions@flagler.edu.
Back To TopA. The Office of Residence Life at Flagler College does its best to accommodate all requests for singles, but there are times when we are not able to. During this unforeseen circumstance, this, unfortunately, means that we can no longer accommodate your single request but will do our best to see if a single room is open throughout the year. We are confident that your new roommates will help you prepare for the academic year and offer a support system for you here at Flagler.
Back To TopA. Students will not be charged the single room rate if they are no longer assigned a single room.
Back To TopA. Please email the Dean of Admissions to discuss your off-campus requests at rbranch@flagler.edu.
