Maintenance Requests, Lock Outs, Community Damage Policy & Postings

Community Damage is damage done to public areas that would not be considered individual room damage. The public-area losses or damages that are preventable (such as broken windows, stolen furniture, damaged light fixtures, and elevator vandalism) but which are not assignable to individuals will be billed in equal amounts to the residents of the floor or building community, or as determined by building staff. It is the responsibility of all residents to be aware of their environment and to hold students who vandalize property accountable. Learn about Housing & Residence Life's Community Damage & Responsibility Policy

The Repair & Replacement Charges are the minimum charges assessed for any damages that transpire both in community spaces as well as within individual student rooms. These charges are applied to students' accounts so the University can recoup any losses incurred as a result of damage or excessive cleaning needs caused by students. 

Advertising events in the residence halls can assist student organizations as well as University departments in maximizing exposure by reaching students in the various communities.
