Damage and Vandalism
Please note that a great deal
of extra time and paperwork is required to repair unnecessary damage, so there
is a minimum charge of $50 for each damage-related incident. In addition, damage, vandalism or misuse of
any life safety, security or emergency egress equipment carries a minimum fine
of $250.
Private
Rooms
Each student is responsible for the condition of his/her room and
furnishings, including the inside and outside of the room door. When a student
moves into a room, a room condition form is provided to document any
deterioration. Please review this form carefully and make sure that it is
accurate before you sign it. It will be used when you check out of your room to
determine any damages, beyond reasonable wear and tear (see “Room Condition
Forms” for more info). Students are financially responsible for any damage and
may also face disciplinary action.
Apartment
and Suite Common Areas
In multiple occupancy apartments or lofts, the
cost for repairs or replacements, or cleaning of living rooms, kitchens,
bathrooms or other commonly shared areas is divided among all students assigned
to the suite or apartment. Please note that cleaning of these areas is the
responsibility of the residents. Failure to maintain acceptable cleanliness
levels may result in mandated cleaning by the college. Periodic Health and
Safety inspections are conducted to ensure compliance.
Public
Areas
We expect some “wear and tear” to buildings where a large number of
students live and work. However, repairs necessitated by damage or theft will
result in associated charges being prorated among the students in the adjacent
housing area. When and how repair or replacement is subsequently made is
the prerogative of the college, regardless of damage billing procedure and
practice.
