Housing options for faculty and staff

University Housing offers a limited number of apartments to USCA faculty and staff members, on a first-come, first-served basis. Residing in a faculty or staff apartment is a privilege accorded to those who are employed with USCA. Should at any time, a faculty or staff member either voluntarily resign or be terminated from employment, then the resident and his or her family must vacate the apartment within 48 hours of the termination of employment.

Please read through the information below. However, should you have questions, please feel free to contact University Housing at 803-641-3790 or via email at Housing@usca.edu.

Location

All apartments are located in the Pacer Downs community. Although the information on the link is geared for students, it will provide you a floor plan and photographs of the apartments, so you can get an understanding of them.

Housing application

The first step is requesting an apartment is to complete a Faculty and Staff Housing Application. Once this is completed, the Housing Director will be notified of your request and will contact you, if there is availability.  Please provide as much information on the application as possible, in order for University Housing to get the apartment ready for you.

Contract term, rates, and fees

Additional fees

Should there be damages, cleaning, or pest control (outside of the normal schedule) these fees will be applied to the account on a monthly basis. All additional fees are located in the Faculty and Staff Housing Guide.

Payments are due at the first (1st) of each month and may be made at the University Housing Office in Pacer Crossings.  Check or credit card are accepted. A $30.00 fee will be charged on all returned checks. Payments are considered late on the fifth (5th) and will be assessed a $100.00 late fee. University Housing has the right to send any uncollected fees to a debt collection agency. Should the renter wish to pay in full for the entire term of the agreement, this may be done.

Apartments may be rented for one (1) month to twelve (12) months. Apartments may be rented on a short-term basis, under thirty (30) days, however, this will require special approval by the director of university housing and a per deim rate of $25.00 will be charged.

All renters are required to have undergone a satisfactory background check through the Human Resources. Sponsoring department is responsible for the cost of the background check. *All university employees are required to have had a background check in order to obtain employment.  This will satisfy this expectation.  This must be done for all occupants, prior to moving into the apartment.
