We strive to create a supportive and constructive environment in which everyone feels free and comfortable to contribute to the community. This can only be accomplished when multicultural understanding exists.

SECTION 2: Policies & Guidelines

Living in a residence hall represents a unique opportunity to experience community living. In a community, residents are afforded rights and have responsibilities to uphold the policies and procedures of Housing & Residential Education and the 欧美三级片 Student Code of Conduct. All residents will be held accountable to the 欧美三级片 Student Code of Conduct, Federal and State Law, and the Housing & Residential Education student housing agreement. The University reserves the right to make additional and/or modify existing rules and regulations. Housing & Residential Education agrees to make every reasonable effort to inform resident students of any regulation changes or pertinent policy information.

Activities within Your Room
Along with your roommate, you are fully responsible for all activities that occur in your room. Even if you are not actively involved in a policy violation, you may still be held responsible if you are present during a violation, or if you give others access to your room. Therefore, you should always lock your room when you leave, even if you leave for only a few minutes. This will prevent others from committing violations in your room without your knowledge. It is your responsibility to put an end to any violation that occurs in your room and to call Housing staff and/or University Police if you need assistance.  

Alcohol
The possession and consumption of alcohol is a privilege provided to those of legal age living within the residence halls with certain restrictions. These restrictions are designed to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all students. Any behavior deemed disruptive that interferes with the rights of students living in housing due to alcohol consumption will lead to disciplinary action.

Consumption of alcoholic beverages and/or possession of open alcoholic containers are strictly prohibited in public areas. Public areas include hallways, labs, lounges, office areas, stairwells, common areas, community kitchens, public bathrooms, any non-approved recreational areas, outside buildings and any other areas deemed public by Housing & Residential Education.

Solicitation
Solicitation by organizations or individuals, for commercial or personal gain, is not permitted. If a person is found to be soliciting in the residence halls, please report the person鈥檚 name and company to University Police immediately.

Sports Inside the Building
In the interest of personal safety and out of respect for the hall environment, sports of any nature are not permitted in the hallways, bathrooms, lobbies, elevators, or other common areas of the building.

Vandalism
It is not acceptable to deface, damage, or destroy property, including but not limited to: personal property, bulletin boards, lounge areas, bathroom facilities, and other common areas.

Visitation
Hosting visitors is considered a privilege. A resident鈥檚 right to comfortably study, sleep, and have privacy in their room or apartment at any time takes priority over any resident鈥檚 ability to host a guest. A resident鈥檚 request for any guest to leave at any time must be honored. The safety and security of a comfortable environment could be compromised if unwanted guests are present, or if guests refuse to leave because they are visiting within posted visitation hours. Guests must be escorted by a resident at all times.

Visitation is defined as periodic visits of guests and does not encompass cohabitation in a room, suite, or apartment as each space in university housing may be occupied only by the student to whom it is contracted. Residents are not permitted to loan keys or access cards to guests at any time. Guests are permitted to spend the night; however, the resident must have the explicit consent of the roommate beforehand. However, even with consent, no guest may stay more than 3 nights in a 30-day period.

All residents will have the opportunity to vote for one of three guest visitation policy choices at the beginning of the Fall Semester.

1. No guest visitation.
2. Guest visitation between 10 a.m. and 2 a.m., Monday through Thursday with weekend guest visitation beginning at 10 a.m. Friday and continuing until 2 a.m. Monday.

No weapons of any kind are permitted in any residential facility. Residents who bring anything deemed to be a weapon into the residence halls are subject to disciplinary action, including suspension of their student housing agreement.

Windows and Screens
For your safety and security, the opening of windows is strongly discouraged in the residential community. Open windows have a detrimental effect on the air conditioning for the building. Each window has been sealed to prevent water intrusion. In other buildings windows can be opened by residents; however, residents should keep personal security in mind. Windows may only be used as a means to enter and exit a building in an emergency. Window screens are never to be removed from the window.

Posting, hanging or otherwise displaying materials in or around the residence hall windows or on university window coverings is not permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, signage, posters, flags, banners, signs, paint, lights, personal messages, post-its or anything attached to these windows.

SECTION 3: ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES

Abandoned Property
Belongings left in one鈥檚 room, suite, apartment, or within common areas of the residence halls, after the contract period ends or the contract is canceled are classified as abandoned property.

Graduating Seniors must receive permission from Housing & Residential Education to extend their residence until after commencement. Residents may leave items in rooms during breaks between academic semesters, but may not occupy their rooms during the break time unless their specific residence hall is designated as 鈥渙pen鈥�. If wishing to stay in an open building, you must request permission in advance using the Housing Portal.

Non-Registration
Residents who are not registered for classes will be required to vacate the halls/apartments within 24 hours.

Communications from the University
You are responsible for checking your resident mailbox and your 欧美三级片 e-mail account frequently.

Floor and Hall meetings are held at the beginning of each semester and periodically during the semester. Floor and Hall meetings are for your benefit, and as a member of the community. You are responsible for any and all information discussed at these meetings. If you are unable to attend a meeting, you should contact your RA/CM for a summary of anything that you missed.

Furniture
All furniture assigned to student rooms, apartments, floor lounges, and other public areas must remain in their appropriate locations. The removal of University furniture from student rooms and/or public areas is prohibited.

All furniture belonging to residents must be removed from campus prior to checkout time. Any furniture left will be subject to removal at the resident鈥檚 expense.

Room Access
All due respect is given to the privacy that residents enjoy in their rooms. Occasionally, circumstances present themselves which necessitate authorized University personnel to enter student rooms for the purpose of repair and maintenance, assessment of damages, inventory of University property, determination of compliance with University policies, and emergencies where imminent danger to life, safety, health is reasonably suspected. When possible, advance notice will be given to residents. Submitting a work request authorizes maintenance personnel to enter your room.

Room and Roommate Changes
Housing & Residential Education assigns rooms and roommates for those who do not choose a space during room selection or for those who become eligible to receive a room assignment outside of a room selection period. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to give everyone their first choice. The staff reserves the right to make assignments and changes as necessary.

• No roommate changes will be made during the first two weeks of each semester.
• Room changes will begin during the third week of the semester but will be dependent on availability. Updates regarding room change availability will be posted on the home page. 
• Students are encouraged to first talk with their RA before asking for a room change.
• In cases where no such resolution seems possible, the students should consult with their RA for assistance.
• The RA/CM, Residence Life Coordinator or Assistant Residence Life Coordinator will mediate and attempt to resolve the situation.
• If the situation cannot be resolved at this level, the Residence Life Coordinator or Assistant Residence Life Coordinator will notify the Assignments Office to conduct a room change.
• Room change requests will be facilitated via the Room Change or Room Swap request forms located in the Housing Portal.
• Residents will be provided with a timeline that indicates the dates they are allowed to move.
• Once approved, all room changes will result in a change of address. Moving residents are responsible for knowing and checking their new mailbox upon completion of their move.

Room Condition & Damages 
Before residents arrive, their room/suite/apartment is inspected by the Housing & Residential Education staff. All residents are emailed and provided the opportunity to submit additional work orders to resolve any unseen needs. Residents are expected to provide high-quality care for their assigned space. At the conclusion of the agreement term, Residential Education staff will conduct an inspection of the room and issue appropriate charges to the student鈥檚 Student Self-Service account for damages. 

Room Personalization
We encourage you to use your creativity and ingenuity to make your room as comfortable as possible. Below are guidelines for room personalization to keep maintenance problems to a minimum and/or to save you money at checkout time by avoiding unnecessary charges resulting from damages to the room.

• No physical alterations are to be made to any part of the building. Residents may not remove or relocate the fixtures, switches, outlets, closet or cabinet doors, fixed dressers, beds, desks, or any other fixed items in the room, suite or building.
• Nails may not be driven into the walls. Contact paper is not to be used. Remember, assessments will be made for the full amount to replace any furniture or room accessories that are damaged or missing at time of check-out
• Room Painting Program: If you believe that your room needs to be painted, you should submit a work request. Facilities staff will evaluate each request and paint where necessary.
• Hanging Lights: Residents are prohibited from hanging lights (holiday lights, LED light strips, etc.) from their walls and ceilings.
• Waterbeds: Due to the chance of water damage and because of their excess weight, waterbeds are not permitted.
• 鈥淢edium Loft鈥� type beds found in Juniper, Poplar and the Village residence halls may have the height adjusted. Residents wishing to change the height must submit a Maintenance Request to adjust the height.

SECTION 4: CONDUCT PROCESS

Please visit the Student Conduct and Ethical Development website for information regarding student conduct policies.

SECTION 5: Services

By being aware of the services provided as well as procedures for utilizing these services, living on campus can be convenient and fun. Please be aware of the following procedures and services and utilize them to your advantage.

Air Conditioning and Heating
General information about air conditioning in Florida:

• Maintaining a clean dust-free room promotes a cleaner and healthier living space.
• Reduce the entrance of humidity into the room by keeping windows closed. This will minimize the likelihood that condensation will develop in the space.
• Avoid setting air conditioning thermostats below 70 degrees as doing so may cause condensation to increase and 鈥渨etness鈥� to develop which could lead to mildew growth.

• Keep air vents clear. Blocking return vents starves the air conditioner system, making it run harder and less efficiently. 

Bicycle Security
Bicycle racks are provided in each housing complex for bicycle security. Please see that your bike is securely fastened to the rack to avoid theft. Bikes may not be stored inside of the residence halls, hallways, common areas, or rooms. 

To avoid electrical hazards and to maintain a clear path for the grounds maintenance crew, bicycles should never be locked to light or electrical posts or stairway railings. The University Police provide engraving services to make identification easy should your bicycle be stolen. Bicycle registration is available to students at NO CHARGE from 欧美三级片 Parking Services and University Police.
