Students are responsible for keeping their own rooms clean, including bathrooms and kitchen areas. The residence housekeeping staff clean the lounges and common areas of the building.  Maintenance staff will enter suites only to make repairs.

The Residence staff is committed to providing students with a sense of safety and security while living in residence. Students can also help maintain this atmosphere by reporting any unusual circumstances within the residence to a Residence Staff member. The residence building is equipped with video surveillance in all stairwells, hallways, lobby areas, and entrances. Students should be ready to show ID at the request of residence staff members. Tampering with surveillance equipment will not be tolerated and appropriate disciplinary action may result.

Entry without notice may take place where the health and safety of a student, guest or staff is concerned. Otherwise, we will attempt to provide 24 hours' notice before entering the suite.

The front desk will accept mail and courier packages. Please be sure to have the student's legal name on the mail/package or it will be returned to the sender. Please indicate room/unit number.
