Procedures

Check-in/Check-out Process

A check-in/check-out process has been established to ensure that each student room and its furnishings are maintained in good condition. When you check into your room, a Residential Life staff member will complete a Room Condition Inventory Form (RCI) for you. You are requested to verify that all the information on the inventory form is accurate. When you check out of the room, any damages to the room or furnishings will be charged to you if they have not been noted on the inventory form. A minimum fine of $50.00 for excess cleaning will be assessed if the room has not been properly cleaned.

The check-in/check-out process is very important and there is a $50.00 fine for improper check-in or check-out of a room.

Keys and Lockouts

If you should happen to lock yourself out of the room, your RA or the RA on duty, will unlock your door between the hours of 8:00 am and midnight, Sunday through Thursday, and until 2:00 am on Friday and Saturday. Students must contact Campus Safety during the remaining hours. Any other time, please contact Campus Safety ext. 4211 for admits into your room.

Staff members are not permitted to unlock a door for anyone other than the resident of the room. Please do not ask. Illegal entry into a student's room may result in loss of housing privileges. A lost key will result in a charge of $75 to your Business Office account.

Changing Rooms/Roommates

Room changes may only take place during the third week of each semester and it is your responsibility to find another resident with whom to switch rooms. All room changes must be registered and approved by your Area Coordinator. Please consult your RA to initiate this process. Unauthorized room changes will result in a $100.00 fine.

Attempting to force a roommate out of the room or preventing a roommate from moving into the room are grounds for immediate termination of the housing contract and will result in further disciplinary action. Keep in mind that good relationships don't happen overnight. It is a gradual process that takes time and is achieved through continued communication and honest feedback.

Vacation Housing

During Thanksgiving Break, all halls will remain open. During Winter Break and Spring Break all halls except Wanberg and Ball will be closed and you will need to make arrangements to stay at home or elsewhere. Wanberg residents may remian in their rooms. Any other student needing to stay will be housed in the basement or sub-lounges of Wanberg. Arrangements must be made in advance. Please speak with your R.A. to obtain appropiate  paperwork. There is no housing available during the summer.
