Students will be notified in advance of inspections. During March break, Buildings and Grounds holds spring room inspections. If furniture is missing from a student's room, the student will be charged the replacement costs for the furniture, unless the furniture was removed through the Office of Residential Life request process. Residents must use extreme care when disposing of smoking materials. The door to the hallway must remain shut when a person is smoking in a student room.
Careless smoking is the most common cause of residence hall fires and fire alarms.
State law forbids smoking in bathrooms, corridors, elevators, and stairways. For more information on trunk rooms, please refer to the Residence Halls page. If a student violates any of the residential life policies and procedures, she may be asked to meet with members of the Hall Committee to discuss the violation and complete a Minor Violation Agreement form. This agreement will outline what policy has been violated, list any sanctions that the student will be required to complete, and will act as a student's agreement that she will not violate this policy again. If a student has a second offense or does not complete the sanctions set out in the agreement, the matter will be referred to the Council on Student Affairs.
