Section 2: General Information and Procedures
Abandoned Property
Neither Collin College, Collin College Student
Housing, the Resident Life Department, nor any
Collin College staff are responsible for student
property left in any buildings, including Collin
College Student Housing apartments. Property
owned by a student resident or former student
resident left in a Collin College Student Housing
apartment 15 days after the apartment has been
vacated is considered abandoned property.
Address
A student who changes a permanent or local
address, or name, must notify the Admissions and
Records Office within the Student and Enrollment
Services suite of this change immediately. Any
communication from Collin College that is mailed
to the name and address on record is “considered
to be delivered” and the student is held
responsible.
State and federal laws regarding the possession,
sale, manufacture, or distribution of alcohol and
controlled substances will be strictly enforced at all
times on all Collin College property. The
enforcement of these laws on campus is the
primary responsibility of the Collin College Police
Department. Violators are subject to college
disciplinary action, criminal prosecution, a fine(s),
and/or imprisonment.
Student residents who violate this policy will be
subject to termination of tenancy and appropriate
disciplinary action, as defined in the Collin College
Student Code of Conduct. Termination of tenancy
does not release student residents from their
financial obligations under the Collin College
Student Housing Terms and Conditions.
