Damage charges are assessed equally against all occupants of a room unless personal liability can be determined. Only University personnel may repair damage to residence hall rooms or furnishings.

Each house manager will maintain and update an area in the residence hall tracking damage to the house and its effect on the community. Common Areas are defined as lobbies, recreation areas, study areas, hallways, stairwells, community and public bathrooms, elevators, dormers, laundry facilities, and building exterior. When such damage does occur, it is the responsibility of the students, not the responsibilityof the University, to absorb the cost of repair. Guiding Principals Students are responsible for their actions, the actions of their guests, and are expected to take an interest in the community around them. Repairs or clean-up billed as common area damages are those which are considered beyond normal wear and tear.
