Residence Life Policies

Room Furnishings

The College supplies the following items for each student: 1 bed, 1 desk with chair, 1 dresser, 1 towel rack or hook, 1 bookcase per room and 1 mirror per room. Drapes or shades are also provided. In addition, some rooms may have medicine cabinets.

Students who wish to personalize their rooms should do so under the following guidelines:

1. Pictures, posters, mirrors, and similar items may be placed on room walls. Nails, glue, permanent adhesives, or substances leaving residue may not be used due to wall and paint damage they create. Damage charges may be assessed to repair damages in room.

2. Students must remove all personal items (posters, pictures, and furniture) before checking out from their rooms.

Screens

Students are not to remove screens from windows. A charge of $50 (plus any needed repairs) is assessed for each window which does not have the screen in place at any time. Charges for missing screens will be made in accordance with the replacement cost of the screen.

Single Rooms

A limited number of singles are available by procedures designated in the spring housing selection process. Students who do not acquire a single during the housing process may request to be placed on a waiting list. Students who occupy double rooms without a roommate due to circumstance (e.g. a roommate leaves the College or moves) must take the responsibility for finding a roommate within one week. The Office of Residence Life reserves the right to use all available room spaces and may assign a roommate after that time. Students who occupy double rooms may not trade for singles. Vacant singles are assigned according to the Singles Waiting List. First year students are not eligible for single rooms. Students who feel they have medical or special needs for a single room should consult the Housing Selection Process Handbook for the specific guidelines of receiving one.
