Lofts and Beds
The university provides a bed for each student in housing with an accompanying mattress. All university beds and mattresses must remain in the residence room they are assigned to. Students who bring their own mattress are expected to abide by this policy and can place their personal mattress on top of the school mattress but cannot remove the university-issued mattress from their assigned room. Students should not attempt to bunk university-issued ladder beds without first contacting the Office of Residential Services for instructions and required hardware. The university does not recommend the use of lofts in the residence halls; however, if a student chooses to use a loft, the loft must be a manufactured loft and may not be custom built or wooden. All lofts must be assembled and used consistent with the manufacturer’s instructions.
By assembling a loft in his/her residence room under this policy, a student does so at his/her own risk and assumes responsibility for the safety, routine inspection, maintenance, and proper use of the loft. The student’s assembly of the loft under this policy also expressly waives and releases the university from any and all harm to property and/or person that may arise from the construction and/or use of the loft. The university does not accept responsibility for the setup, inspection, maintenance, or safety of any loft that students choose to use.
