Responsibility for Living Space

When students are checked into their room and issued their key(s), the student assumes responsibility for maintaining the physical condition of the room and its furnishings. Students are financially responsible for damage and/or poor conditions of their living space found through a room inspection or noted in checkout forms. Charges will be assessed to all of the residents of a room if individual responsibility cannot be determined. Students are responsible for removing all personal belongings, garbage, and any item not assigned to the room by the College and may be fined for improper checkout. Students are also financially responsible for any key(s) issued to them at the time of checking into the room.  

College owned and personal furniture must be positioned and used in a manner consistent with their intended purpose and design. Lost or damaged furniture is the responsibility of the residents of the room. Students are not permitted to remove any College issued furniture from the room in which it is assigned and may not remove furniture from public areas and/or lounges. Students are not allowed to disassemble College furniture. Similarly, window screens, curtains, curtain rods or other items affixed to any part of the room may not be removed or added to the facility. There is no storage for room furnishings. Residents will be charged for missing or damaged furniture. Residents are not permitted to loft, bunk, or adjust the height of the beds.

Under no circumstances are students to place trash, trash cans, recycling or bags in the hallways outside student rooms, hall common areas, or in stairways. Students are expected to empty their own trash and recycling bins on a regular basis and may be charged for cleanup of unreasonable messes. Only UV resistant, non-residue, non-surface damaging tape (such as blue painter’s tape) is allowed for decorating purposes in the residence halls.
