Damages

Students are required to keep premises (including furniture and equipment in individual units and common areas) in good condition and, upon termination of their contract, deliver the same in good condition with allowances for reasonable wear. The University reserves the right to enter rooms for repairs or safety checks during vacation or break periods when students are not on campus. When repair is needed during the semester the University will try to give the student notice before entering for such purpose.

Anyone using materials not recommended by or approved of by the Resident Director could be charged for any resulting damages. Painting is not allowed.

Students residing in Wilson or Nierling Halls should be careful not to block the rooms’ heaters and students in any building are not permitted to hang blankets over the windows as this can cause frozen pipes and extensive water damage. Room residents will be held responsible for any such damage.

Residents will be billed for any damages to the furniture in their assigned room. Any attributed damage will be sent to the Business Office for billing to the student account. Damages will be charged based on material and labor costs.

You must note on your room check-in and checkout form any damage in your room for which you are not responsible PRIOR to checking out of the room. Students are responsible for notifying their Resident Director or Assistant Resident Director of damages as they happen.
