Under Construction Residence Hall Damage/Vandalism
Students are held responsible for damage in their room When you checked in you signed a Room Condition Form (RCF) detailing the condition of your room and
its furniture At check out your room should be returned to its original condition If damage occurs speak with your RA or AC/RD immediately At the end of each semester your AC/RD will inspect your room after you have checked out and will
determine if a damage bill will be issued It is for that reason that you should immediately report any damage that occurs in you r room
Common Area Damage Damage that occurs in common areas may be billed to the entire floor or hall if the
individual(s) responsible are not discovered If you know who caused common area damage please let you AC/RD know so that only those
responsible for the damage are the ones who have to pay to repair it Jumping in the elevators is considered vandalism and you will be referred through the
Student Conduct System Every elevator is monitored by video camera and Campus Police take notice to any students who
jump in them
Facilities: How Things Get Fixed Report any maintenance issues in your room to you AC/RD and they will create a work order
for the problem

steps Roommates attempt to resolve issue on their own RA mediates conflict AC/RD talks with students and determines if a room
change is necessary If the room change involves changing buildings the
Associate Director will work with both the AC/RD involved and the students
