🛏️ What to Bring

Students are responsible for providing their own:

• Linens and pillows
• Window curtains (optional – mini blinds are provided)

🧹 Room Care & Responsibility

Each student is responsible for the condition of their room, its furnishings, and the overall appearance of the residence hall.

• Charges may be assessed for damage or neglect to rooms, including walls, ceilings, floors, windows, screens, doors, and furnishings.
• Damage to common areas (halls, lobbies, fixtures, etc.) may be pro‑rated among residents if individual responsibility cannot be determined.
• Damage to university property will result in a charge equal to the cost of repair or replacement.

🪑 Furniture Guidelines

• All original furniture (beds, desks, dressers, chests, etc.) must remain in the room.
• Furniture may not be altered, removed, or arranged in ways incompatible with its intended design.
• Students may not bring in extra beds or construct loft beds.
• Furniture or appliances brought into the room must be agreeable to all roommates.
• Removal of university furniture from a room will result in a fine.

🚫 Prohibited Items

For safety reasons, the following items are not permitted in residence halls:

• Candles, wax warmers, scented plug‑ins
• Lighters
• Extension cords
• Electric heaters
• Toasters
• Air fryers, George Foreman grills
• Hot plates, crock pots, rice cookers

The university reserves the right to confiscate items that violate residence hall guidelines. Students with questions about approved items should contact their Residence Director (RD) or Resident Assistant (RA)—they are always happy to help. Thank you for reviewing this information from the Student Handbook. We look forward to welcoming your student home and partnering with families to make move‑in safe, smooth, and successful
