REGISTRAR Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

Donald Farquharson Hall About the
The Donald Farquharson Hall was opened in August 1965 and named in honour of the first chairman of the College Council, The Honourable Donald Farquharson.
The Donald Farquharson Hall was opened in August 1965 and named in honour of the first Chairman of the College Council, The Honourable Donald Farquharson. A triple occupancy facility, it was originally constructed to house 88 students. Due to the increase in demand for housing, the capacity has been increased to house 150 male students, however, reduced to house 145 students. The hall consists of three floors, with each floor having its own set of bathrooms along with a galley-type kitchen. A Dining and Television Room on the ‘B’ and ‘C’ floors, a Computer Room (with internet connectivity) on the ‘A’ floor and a Study Room on the ‘B’ floor complete the Hall’s other special amenities. There is also a room available for the physically challenged.
Amy Jacques Garvey Hall About the
The Amy Jacques Garvey Hall, named in honour of Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, widow of National Hero Marcus Garvey, was opened in 1971.
The Amy Jacques Garvey Hall, named in honour of Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, widow of National Hero Marcus Garvey, was opened in 1971. This hall, a triple occupancy facility, constructed through the World Bank Educational Fund, was originally built to accommodate 50 female students. The hall was re-opened in January 2015 after closing for two years for renovation. The facility which once housed 78 students, now houses 128 students.
Dennis Johnson Hall About the
The Dennis Johnson Halls of residence is a sports dormitory and was named in honour of Dr. Dennis Johnson, the first Director of Sport and coach of the UTech track and field programme. The DJHR was originally referred to as “Track House”. It started where the nursing building is now located with very limited space and amenities. The house had two (2) bedrooms which accommodated four (4) athletes each, one kitchen and one bathroom. The house was a take over from some grounds men who used to hang out there. This house became unfit to live in, and as a result the students were moved to the house adjacent to the backfield of the campus. This move was much appreciated by athletes who wanted to excel and further their career in school and as professional athletes and could not afford to find housing. The demand and need for more space to house athletes become paramount and as a result the house was renovated in 2014 into two floors to accommodate 60 student athletes. The structure remains with the design of a house, with 12 bedrooms, a set of three (3) communal type bathrooms (2 sets for male and a set shared by the females), 2 kitchens one on each floor, one dining area, lounge area, 2 computer labs one on each floor, a washroom, and a balcony that the athletes use to relax and get their massage. Our athletes have used and continued to use the facility afforded to them and has excelled and made the University and our country proud. DJHR, Home of the “SPARTANS”
Lome Halls About the

The Home of the Eagles, Hall E is known to produce ladies of class, standard and exceptional leadership abilities. The emblem “The Eagle” symbolically signifies that the ladies of this dorm “Soar above all Obstacles”, which happens to be, by no surprise our motto. Hall E provides the support needed for holistic development for our ladies by not only encouraging growth in academia but also extracurricular activities.

Students are encouraged to properly secure their personal belongings at all times in order to ensure their safety. THE UNIVERSITY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS OF ANY PERSONAL BELONGINGS. Lost keys and swipe cards must be reported immediately to the Resident Manager so that a replacement can be provided, at the student’s expense. On vacating rooms, students are expected to remove all their belongings and leave the rooms thoroughly clean. No alterations are to be made to furniture and fittings in the rooms, dining areas, sitting areas, bathrooms, kitchens etc. No furniture or equipment should be relocated without the permission of the Resident Manager. University property should be kept in good condition and should not be removed from the hall unless prior written permission has been obtained from the Accommodation Unit. Particular care should be exercised in the use of utilities, such as light and water, in order to avoid waste and increased cost. Tampering with utility lines is strictly prohibited. Any fault in installations or other observed defects should be reported immediately to the Resident Manager or Assistant. All residents are expected to cooperate with the University in maintaining standards of tidiness and orderliness, within residences and throughout the University. Students are to ensure that a signed ‘Facilities Checklist’ (included in the Boarding Package) of the state of facilities in their respective sections is forwarded to their respective Resident Managers at the commencement of their boarding period.

Safety & Security The University places a high priority on the safety and security of residents. We ask that you cooperate with the security guards by showing your ID Cards on request. This is very important. The security systems which are in place are similar to the standards of universities this size worldwide. Emergency stairwells and security devices have been installed to ensure each student’s safety as best as possible. Fire drills have been developed to ensure that, in the event of a fire or any other emergency requiring evacuation, proper procedures will be carried out safely and efficiently.
Evacuation Procedures It is of utmost importance that students do not abuse or ignore the systems put in place, and that safety is practiced at all times. When ordered to evacuate a building, all must proceed quietly in a single line to the nearest Emergency Gathering Point.
The Emergency Gathering Points are: • • •
the Front field the Back field
Use of safety devices is not only for the protection of the individual dorms, but also for the University environment as a whole. Your security depends on you.
Please adhere to the following security guidelines 1. Non-residents should not have access to keys or swipe cards. 2. Visitors must enter and exit the residence via the front door only. 3. Emergency exits should only be used in emergencies. Students caught using emergency exits will face disciplinary action. 4. Access control doors are installed on the Halls of Residence for your safety and security. They are intended to close seconds after a card holder swipes and is given access hence no object should be used to cutch the door or prevent it from closing. Disciplinary action will be sought against student(s) who are caught doing this. 5. All students must participate in emergency drills. Failure to do so will result in appropriate disciplinary action being taken. 6. In the event of an impending natural disaster, please refer to the Resident Manager and the Safety and Security Department as outlined in your Emergency Manual.
42
Resident Student Handbook 2017/18
7. ID cards should be displayed at all times. 8. Residents should not walk alone and avoid using the ATM at nights 9. Each resident of the dorms is deemed to be responsible for the behavior of his or her guest. 10. The security officer on duty is empowered to enforce all regulations regarding the use of dormitories. 11. Students obstructing or impeding an officer from doing his or her duty will face disciplinary action. 12. Any incident or infraction can be reported to the control room 24 hours per day by dialing extension 2170 internally or 970-5170 and 832-8300 (lime) by cell or external line. 13. Fire-fighting equipment is placed on the Halls of Residence for your safety. Extinguishers must only be used when there is the imminent threat of fire. If they are used to extinguish a blaze, this must be reported to Safety and Security so that the unit can be replenished. Misuse (use if there is no fire) of fire equipment will attract disciplinary action.

Food safety Guidelines for Special Events
Events where food and drinks are sold are a common feature of several groups within the University. In many cases, foods being sold are done outside of the confines of a kitchen with all its facilities to ensure safe food preparation and maintenance of temperatures (hot and cold). The need to ensure safe food preparation and service remains critical and as such, foods prepared and sold at special events must be monitored to prevent the contamination of food and the abuse of temperatures which may render foods unsafe by the growth and multiplication of microbes, chemical contamination or adulteration.
Application and Approval
Special events include but are not limited to Fetes, personal or group fund raisers etc. The Environmental Health Unit has the responsibility to ensure safe food handling on the campuses. During the planning and before the commencement of an event, please visit the Safety and Security Department, collect and fill out the “Events Approval Form”. Page 2 on the form addresses the food safety requirements. Please ensure you are given the approval before the holding of any event.
Food handlers’ training
All persons involved in food handling are required to submit to a Food handlers’ training before the event is approved by the Environmental Health Officer. These trainings are done every Thursday between 3pm and 4pm and are scheduled based on request from a member of a group who wish to hold an event on any of the University campuses. The venue for training is to be arranged by the group/ persons making the request for training. Persons involved in food handling should attach a copy of their food handlers’ permit to the Events Approval Application Form. The Environmental Health Unit can be contacted at 927-1680 ext. 3531 or Visit the office Up- stairs the UTech, Ja., Medical Centre to schedule your training or for further information. The following guidelines are therefore necessary to ensure food safety at these special events where food is sold or served. 1. All persons participating/engaging in the food handling must present a valid food handler’s permit 2. An inspection will be done by the Environmental Health Officer (s) to verify compliance with food safety standards and regulations of the Ministry of Health and the University Food safety guidelines. 3. Persons involved in the sale or the servicing of food shall make themselves available to be guided/briefed on the public health/environmental requirements and the expected level of food safety to be maintained at the event as it relates to: Resident Student Handbook 2016/17
