Residents leaving their room excessively dirty when they move out of the hall will be subject to cleaning fees. All student rooms are inspected during break periods for safety and cleanliness. Should a room be found unfit, a charge of $25 or more may be assessed, the student will be notified to take corrective measures, and a follow-up inspection will be scheduled. P. Repairs: The physical facilities staff does its best to keep the halls in good repair. Any items in need of repair in a student’s room or in a public or common area should be reported via the campus work order system or reported to a member of the residence life staff. Physical facilities staff strives to complete repairs in a timely manner. Students can contact their Area Coordinator if they would like an update on a reported concern. Students may be assessed repair or replacement charges for any damages which appear to be the result of carelessness or vandalism. Q. Unauthorized Areas: Students are not permitted in mechanical rooms, building services closets, maintenance storage areas or on the roofs of campus buildings.
