The university strongly recommends that students insure coverage of all personal belongings. The student agrees that any personal effects, valuables or other property of the student left in the apartment, shall be abandoned property and will be removed by the university. This property may be disposed of through sales, donation, or in such a manner as the university, at its sole discretion, may determine. Housing built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead from paint, paint chips, and dust can pose health hazards if not managed properly.
Lead exposure is especially harmful to young children and pregnant women.
Students must also receive a federally approved pamphlet on lead poisoning prevention. Refunds are not made because of meals missed, special diets, religious activities, employment, class conflicts, mechanical, heating or air-conditioning malfunctions. Students withdrawing from the University should follow the proper check-out procedure which will expedite the refund process. Housing deposit refunds must be requested in writing to the Housing Department by deadline dates stated in Section 16. Such refunds will usually be mailed within 30 days of check out.
