operations of the College or infringes upon the rights of other residents to be secure and to be left alone . Refusal to cooperate may result in disciplinary action .
Check-In / Check-Out
The College will establish dates for check-in and check-out . Residents must complete an official room check-out before vacating the facility . Failure to follow check-in and check-out policies will result in additional charges ( see Attachment 2 for Student Housing Fees / Charges Schedule ).
Room Condition Report ( RCR ) Before residents arrive , their suite and individual bedroom are inspected , and the condition is noted on a Room Condition Report ( RCR ). All residents can make any additions or corrections to the RCR 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 suite , 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 their 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 suite-mate conflicts , it is important for students to meet the Director of Support Services to review all reasons for the request . Unauthorized room changes will result in a fine ( see Attachment 2 for Student Housing Fees / Charges Schedule ).
Insurance
We strongly recommend students obtain their own insurance for coverage of personal belongings and / or personal liability . The College does not provide insurance for student belongings or personal liability .
Lock-Outs / Keys
When students are either locked out of their suite or their bedroom within their suite , they will need to notify Campus Security . After the student ’ s information is recorded , a campus officer will provide access to the suite or room with a valid College ID . A student is granted one courtesy lock-out request per semester / term . 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 ( see Attachment 2 for Student Housing Fees / Charges Schedule ).
