out policies will result in additional charges ( see Attachment 2 for Student Housing Fees / Charges Schedule ).
Room Condition Report ( RCR ) Before residents arrive their room / suite is inspected , and the condition is noted on a room condition report ( RCR ). All residents can make any additions or corrections to it in coordination with the RA . This process should occur ( and the form returned ) within the first 24 hours of occupancy . Thereafter , residents will be given a copy of the RCR upon request . The RCR will be used at the time of check-out , during which housing staff members will compare the condition of the room and furniture noted on the form to the condition at check-in . Residents should carefully examine their room / living unit and save the copy of the RCR . It is to the student ’ s benefit to be very descriptive of the condition of their room / suite and its contents , noting any marks , holes , tears , etc . Failure to turn in a copy of the RCR by the 24-hour deadline will result in the assumption that they are in complete agreement with the assessment on the original RCR , which will then be used at the time of check out .
Room Changes Room change requests can be made two ( 2 ) weeks after move-in . To request a room change , students should contact the RA . Once the request is made , the Director of Support Services will meet with the student to discuss details of the request . Since room changes are not necessarily the best answer to deal with possible suitemate conflicts it is important for students to meet the Director of Support Services to review all reasons for the request .
Insurance We strongly recommend that you obtain your own insurance for coverage of your personal belongings and / or personal liability . The College does not provide insurance for your belongings or personal liability .
Lock Outs / Keys When students are either locked out of their suite or their room within their suite , they will need to stop by the security office to notify security . After the student ’ s information is recorded , a security officer will provide access to the suite or room with a valid College ID . A student is granted one courtesy lock-out request the duration of the academic year . Should a student need to be given access to their suite and / or room after the one ( 1 ) courtesy lock-out request , the student will be assessed a $ 25 lock-out fee for each request thereafter .
Student Housing Unit Card Key / Room Key Replacement If a resident of student housing should lose their unit card key or room key , they will need to go immediately to their RA to request a new room key . The price to replace your key can range depending upon the situation and time of day .
