Damages

Recompense for damage to furniture, walls, windows, or other property must be paid by the students who occupy the room unless one student accepts responsibility for the damage. The following guidelines are to be adhered to:

On cinder block or sheetrock walls, only blue painter’s tape or frog green tape may be used to hang pictures, posters, etc. Double-sided tape may not be used.
On wooden paneled walls, only thumbtacks may be used to hang pictures, posters, etc. Nails and screws of any size may not be used.
Paint, double-sided tape, duct tape, packing tape, contact paper, nails, screws, poster putty, or glue (of any type) may not be used on any residence hall surface.
No locks or lock system of any kind, type, or description may be put on drawers, cabinets, closets, or other university property at any time.
Self-adhesive stickers, including command hooks, may not be put on any surface.
Furniture, walls, and other university property may not be written on for any reason.

Community Damage

Damage to the university community is detrimental to the student body. All students agree to refrain from vandalism or damage of any kind to university property. When an individual(s) is responsible for intentional damage and goes unrecognized, then each recognized student agrees to pay for the damage. For example, a chair is broken in the lobby area of a housing unit. All occupants of that floor or that unit may be responsible for the cost of repairing or replacing the chair. Charges for repairs will be assessed based on current costs. Other fines and sanctions may be imposed.
