Without detracting from the other provisions of this undertaking letter, the
authorization is dependent, at any time, on the preconditions. The student confirms
that he knows that these conditions are cumulative and that in the event that, for
any reason, one of these conditions will cease to exist, the authorization to live in

will apply, as detailed henceforth. The student undertakes to inform the Office of
the Dean of Students in writing, within 7 days, about any of the preconditions that
ceased to exist.
The Authorization Period

The authorization is for the period that begins on October 18, 2015 and ends on
July 15, 2016 (henceforth: “the authorization period”). In order to remove all
doubt, it is clarified that the authorization period includes the entire period in the

which will be given according to its discretion and subject to the relevant
preconditions, as will be publicized by the dormitory management. It is
clarified that in any case, authorization to reside in the dormitories during
the month prior to the beginning of the next school year is dependent on
the applicant having been accepted to the next school year, having paid an
advance and having signed the required undertakings. In any case that such
a confirmation will be given to extend the period of authorization for the
duration of the summer vacation or part of the vacation, the conditions of
this undertaking letter and with the obligating changes, will also apply to
the period of the student’s stay during the authorized period (henceforth:
“summer authorization period”).

according to his discretion, the university will extend the authorization period by

tuition fee debits.
11.1
The student knows that the accommodation fees were calculated
according to the authorization period, where the authorization that

obligates only half of the dormitory fees for that month.
11.2

11
11.2.1 A period of one month which begins on the 1st of the calendar
month and ends on the 31st (or the last day) of that same
calendar month, when the academic school year began between

accommodation fees that will not be paid on time, at a rate of 0.25% per
week, or at a different rate that will be collected due to delay in payment
of tuition, all – according to the ruling of the university administration.
12.5
The accommodation fees shall be treated as tuition for all intents and
purposes and their non-payment on time will give the university the right
to take any action against the student that was ruled for the matter of
non-payment of tuition. Furthermore, and without detracting from the
generality of the above, in case of non-payment of the full
accommodation fees and/or non-payment on time, the university will be
entitled to stop the authorization and/or to stop the student’s studies
and/or to prevent him from taking exams and/or receiving services

binding and are not dependent or conditional on the receipt of payment
slips from the tuition fee department. The student's responsibility and

Breaching a provision of the provisions in this section comprises a

university is permitted to bring to an immediate termination of the
authorization. Without detracting from this, a breach of the provision

expulsion from the dormitories.

3.1
3.2
3.3
For security reasons, the door to the room and the entry door to the
building must be locked, and so also the closets. The keys, during the
authorization period, are intended solely for use of the student who
received them. The key to the room and the key to the entrance must not be
given to any other person, including residents of other dormitories. Keys
must not be left above the doors. The doors must be locked at night. The
key must not be left in the lock.
This provision is intended to protect dormitory residents, and to maintain
safety, security and orderly measures in the dormitories. This provision is
required also to ensure the privacy of dormitory roommates and their
belongings. As such, and in light of the severity of the breach of this
provision and the prevalence of the phenomenon, it has been decided that
the minimum punishment for the violation of this provision is a fine of NIS
500.
It is forbidden to put or hang an additional lock on the room, unless
permission for this was obtained from the housefather and on condition
that he was given a key to this lock. The university will be permitted to
undo and remove any lock or other latch that was hung or fixed contrary to
this section, at the student’s expense.
The personal belongings in the dormitories are not insured and the
responsibility for their intactness or their insurance is levied on the owner.
It is recommended not to keep valuables or sums of money in the rooms. A
bank is at the students’ disposal, which is found at the entrance to the
university. A student who is interested in keeping money or important
documents will turn to the housefather. Any case of loss or theft should be
reported to the housefather immediately. It is clarified that the university is
not responsible for any damage, loss or theft of the property of the students
or their guests in the dormitories.

tuition fees. It is clarified that in any case the student will not be permitted
to paint the room himself.

The students are obligated to clean the rooms in which they live and the
adjacent bathrooms and toilets. The students will be obligated to pay for a

Declaration Form
I herewith declare that all the details that I gave above are correct and complete. I also
undertake to inform the dormitory division at the Office of the Dean of Students of any
change that will take place in my financial situation and/or in any of the details which I
gave above, immediately after the change takes place.
I am aware that giving false details or omitting details or not updating details that
changed during the handling of the request for living in the dormitories and/or during
living in the dormitories will lead to deprivation of my right to receive accommodation in
the dormitories and to my prosecution in a disciplinary trial before the university
discipline committee, and will also obligate me to pay compensation as detailed herewith,
everything – according to the discretion of the Dean of Students.
I am aware that if incongruence will be found between what is declared in this form and
the details that will become clear to the university later, any accommodation rights (if
there will be such) that I will have in the dormitories will be abolished immediately. I
undertake that in such a case, without detracting from the right of the university for any
other remedy according to law or contract, I will pay the university, within 15 days, a set
and predetermined compensation at a rate of double the monthly fee for accommodations
in the dormitories, and in the event that I have already lived in the dormitories – double
the dormitory fee for the entire period of my living in the dormitory during which the
details that I gave were false and/or not complete (all this – in addition to the regular fee).
Furthermore, I undertake that in the mentioned case I will compensate the university for
its expenses in clarifying the details, in the event that such were incurred. The monetary
debit of these sums will be carried out through the tuition fee division and all the
university’s rules that apply for collecting debts of tuition will apply to it.
I am aware that upon the abolishment of the right to live in the dormitories, as mentioned
above, I will have to clear my room in the dormitories within one week and return it in
good and proper condition and according to all the obligating procedures. In the event
that I will not clear my belongings on time, I herewith give the university irrevocable
authorization to clear my possessions and store them at my expense or carry out any
action on them including throwing them into the garbage, everything according to the
possibilities it has and its discretion.
I undertake that in the event that I am accepted to the dormitories I will arrange the
registration to the dormitories on time and according to all the instructions and
procedures and will sign the contract for living in the dormitories / undertaking letter as
updated for that time. I am aware that the formulation of the contract / undertaking letter,
_______________________
Student’s signature in initials

as they are in the current school year, is at my disposal for perusal at the Office of the
Dean of Students. I undertake to fulfill all my obligations according to the contract /
undertaking letter and as detailed in the payment voucher as well as any other
announcement that will be sent to me by the dormitory division. I am aware that the
number of places in the dormitories is limited, and therefore in the event that I will not
arrange my registration to the dormitories and will not sign a contract / undertaking letter
on time, for any reason, then, without detracting from any other remedy that is imparted
to the university, any right I was given (if it was given) to live in the dormitories will be
abolished.
Waiver of Confidentiality
I authorize the university to examine, as it deems fit, the details that I gave in this form
and any detail that is related to my standard of living and/or of my family. I also give an
irrevocable authorization to any factor or institution which has information about the
above details – including information on my state of health – to hand it to Bar-Ilan
University.
