Shared Hotel Room With Another Student

For Doctoral Students who need more cost efficient accomodations and are willing to work within the arrangement that has been negotiated,  Southeastern Seminary and the Sleep Inn have agreed to work together in providing commuter housing at an affordable price for our male commuter students. The Sleep Inn sets aside a block of rooms for Southeastern.

The Housing Office reserves the rooms, pays for the rooms and charges your student account for the stay.

Sleep Inn

      12401 Wake Union Church Road (Behind Burger King and KFC)

Please note:  The terms of this agreement are specific and limit check-in times and also limit the ability to cancel a reservation on short notice.  Be sure to carefully read the terms below before choosing this option.  If the terms are not workable for your situation, you should make your own reservations through Sleep Inn at their regular rate.

In order to qualify for the seminary commuter rate, students must:

• Call the Housing Office and identify themselves as commuters.
            Phone: (919) 761-2400
• Each individual has to make their own reservation with the Housing Office before 3:45 p.m. Monday to Friday.   Reservations made after 3:45 p.m. should be made through the Sleep Inn and will be subject to regular hotel rates.
• Individuals can check in at the Sleep Inn after 4:00 p.m. for the room assignment.  Please identify yourself as a commuter from Southeastern and they will confirm your reservation on a list provided to them by the Housing Office by 4:00 p.m. each day.
• Individuals must check out of their room and remove all of their personal belongings each morning by the Sleep Inn’s check out time.  Failure to do so could cause additional charges up to a full night’s room charge at the Sleep Inn rate to be added to your student account.
• If you need to cancel a reservation, you must do so with the Housing Office before 3:45 p.m. Monday to Friday. Cancellations will not be accepted after 3:45 p.m. Monday to Friday and your account will be charged the full amount.
• Reservations for Saturday and Sunday must be made and/or cancelled by 3:45 p.m. Friday.  Reservations or cancellations cannot be made on Saturdays or Sundays.
• If we do not have anyone to pair you with by 3:45 p.m. (see NOTE below), the Housing Office will call your cell phone number to give you the option of contacting the Sleep Inn and renting a room at their regular rate or renting the back up commuter apartment available for one person on campus. 
• If you know who you would like to room with, then both parties must call the Housing Office and indicate their roommate choice.
• Student accounts must be paid promptly to avoid late payment penalties.  Credit cards are not accepted.

Commuting students will share a hotel room with one other person. The price for the room is $38/student including all taxes and fees. This price includes all of the hotel amenities:

• Indoor heated pool and spa
• High-speed Internet access in all rooms
• Coffee maker, hairdryer and ironing board with iron
• Fitness room
• Two-line phones, speaker, data port, voicemail
• Complimentary deluxe continental breakfast
• Free local calls, cable TV and USA Today

*Please Note:
If no more than one commuter has made a reservation or if the last person to make a reservation creates an odd number of students making reservations, that person will have the option of staying at the Sleep Inn at the regular hotel rate or of being re-assigned to the guest apartment at Goldston 217-02 on campus, which is a bedroom with a bath. 

The cost for Goldston 217-02 is $36/night. Reservation is for one night only and individuals must check out each morning by 10:00 a.m.  The Goldston guest apartment contains the following:
