[ continued ] Common Area Furniture Removal Policy

Furnishings and equipment in the common areas are for the use of all residents. Removal of shared items (such as furniture, pictures or waste baskets) deprives others of their use. Any common area item found in a resident’s room will result in a $25 charge per piece, per person per day beginning from the date the staff confirms that the furniture is in the room. Such action may also be considered theft and may result in a charge for replacement, disciplinary referral and/or legal action.

Electrical Outlets and Extension Cords

Multi-plug wall outlets and multi-plug extension cords are prohibited. A power strip with a fuse/surge protector is required if you need additional outlets.

Fireworks and Other Combustible Materials

Ammunition, fireworks, gasoline, lighter fluid, motorcycles, mopeds and any other combustible, explosive and/or flammable materials are prohibited in the residential areas. Possession of these items is a violation which may result in disciplinary action, a charge of $25 per person, per item, per day and/or confiscation of the prohibited item.

Furniture

All rooms, suites and apartments are furnished with desks, chairs, beds, closets or wardrobes, dressers, wastebasket, recycling bin and window blinds. University-provided furniture should not be removed from campus housing. Room furniture should never be left in study rooms, hallways, lounges, porches or balconies. A charge of $25 per person, per day as well as labor charges will result when Housing Facilities staff must remove individual room furniture from public areas. Further, if the furniture issued when you accepted occupancy is not in the room, suite or apartment when you checkout, you will be held responsible for full replacement costs. Students are prohibited from blocking windows or doors with furniture.

Grills

Grilling is permitted only at the grills provided in designated grilling areas and is not permitted on patios/balconies or in the apartment areas. Possession of a grill is a violation which may result in a charge of $25 per person, per day.
