Student Handbook

Closure for Holidays & Breaks

The only fair way to handle charges for damage within the residence hall is for the individual responsible to come forward and pay for it. If no one takes responsibility, then the charges will be shared by residents according to the following areas:

Personal common - Residents of each room share responsibility for their individual rooms, including furnishings.

Suite common - Residents of each suite share responsibility for all areas outside the rooms (including the outside of their room door) but within the suite door.

Residence hall common - All residents within a residence hall share responsibility for all areas outside suite doors, including but not limited to the laundry room, TV room, lobbies, lounges, conference room, offices, fire/safety equipment, and hall furnishings.

Students cannot construct any type of loft or platform within their room. University furnishings cannot be modified or used outside their design. Painting rooms or suite areas is not allowed.

Appropriate charges for damages shall be made against students’ accounts and must be paid promptly.
