Student Handbook 2019-2020

Room Responsibility

Living in a residence hall involves living in a community. This requires mutual respect, responsibility and concern for each other. The hall is the home of the students living there and should be treated as such. Individuals who cause damage are expected to take responsibility for their actions

Students are responsible for any damage to their room beyond the limits of normal wear and tear. To protect both the College and the student, and to provide a record of needed maintenance, students must sign a Room Condition Report that has been completed by their resident assistant when they check into their residence hall rooms. Students are responsible for ensuring that room inventories are accurate and complete. It is from this form that room damage is assessed at the time of check-out. College furniture may not be removed from student rooms. Window screens and permanently attached furniture in student rooms may not be removed or disassembled. Charges are made for window screen removal as well as for abused or missing equipment and furnishings. Students are cautioned not to use decals, nails, or anything which may mar the finish on walls, closets, doors, mirrors, windows, or furniture.

  • Sleeping lofts, platforms, flammable decorations, or other unsafe alterations of rooms are prohibited.
  • Rooms may not be painted.

All College furniture must remain in the room; none can be taken out or replaced from another room. Students will be charged for missing furniture at replacement value.
