Role of Conduct 违反

Students who have been involved in more severe or repeated conduct 违反 may not be 允许 to stay in the 住宅 halls during breaks, as an early arrival, or as an extended stay.

Entering Rooms during Breaks

If a student needs to gain access to their room during a break, they may contact safety and may be escorted into the building. There is a $50 fine for entering a building during a break. No student is allowed to stay in their room. Staff will enter rooms at least once during each break to check for health and safety risks that may occur while the 设施 are not being occupied at their usual rate. Staff may enter occupied rooms at 合理的 hours during early arrival housing and extended stay housing to prepare for opening and closing the 建筑.

Checking In / Out

Checking In

Each student is required to 正式 check-in before occupying a space so that the college has record of this in the case of a crisis or 紧急. To complete the check-in process, each student must pick up their key at the front desk and sign the key card as well as complete and sign the 房间/公寓 inventory and any other paperwork provided. The room inventory serves as a tool for students and staff to track any 伤害/破坏 in a room. It is the 责任 of each student to make sure the form 准确地 reflects the condition of the room at that time, and to sign to verify that. If a student does not complete this form by the date set by the RLC, they will be held 负责任的 for damages found at move-out, and could receive an improper check-in fee.

Checking Out

Our 部门 emails students with check out 信息 during blocks 5 and 8. If a student is planning to vacate their assigned space, they will need notify the room 作业 manager of the date intending to leave. All students must follow the process below unless a different agreement has been made by the dean of students or his/her designee due to extreme 情况下.

Express Check Out

Express check out is a process that enables students to skip the room 检查 with their student staff member. The room is still 检查, but it is inspected after the student leaves. By 参与 in express check out, the student should recognize that their 可能性 in having a damage appeal granted may be more difficult because they were not present to be able to discuss or attempt to remedy the concerns.

• The 房间/公寓 must be 完全 clean before using express check out.
• Express check out is not 可用 at winter break closing, except in Western Ridge 公寓.
• Express check out is only suggested for students who leave at odd hours of the day or night and also do not 预测 they will be billed for any room or apartment damages. Express check out is not 推荐 for 个人 who believe they may have damage charges.

If a student is 感兴趣 in the express check-out process, they must get an express check-out envelope from the front desk, inform the 师生 member of their intention and 近似 check-out date and time, complete the 必要的 信息 on the envelope, 完全 clean room or 公寓, remove all 物品, and leave the key(s) in the envelope in the box provided at the front desk.

Due to the 复杂性 of issues in the 公寓, express check out is not 推荐. Students are 负责任的 for signing up during one of the provided times to check out of the apartment. All roommates should check out at the same time if possible.

没收

When college staff encounter an item that is 禁止 or is being stored in a location where it is not 允许, they may 没收 the item. When possible, residents who are 拥有/使用 alcohol in ways that are outside the standards of college will be asked to dispose of it in front of the staff member.

Some 没收了 items may be returned to students at the end of the semester (or earlier if approved by the 住宅 life 协调器) provided that the student removes the item from campus 立即. Illegal items or items that pose severe 潜在的 harm (such as 控制 物质, drug 用品, hazardous 化学物质, or weapons) are not items that can be released and will not be returned to students. Illegal or 潜在的 harmful 占有 of alcohol will result in 没收 or disposal.

Any 没收了 item not claimed by the owner by the end of the academic year in which the item was 没收了 will be disposed of. When possible and 合适的, items may be donated to a local charity. If an item is 没收了 from a student room when the student is not present, the student will be notified by the RLC or their designee. When items are 没收了 from common areas, the RLC or designee will contact the students living near the space by email to inform them.

Students who leave items in the hallway or common area may have their items 没收了 by 住宅 life and housing staff. 安排 to retrieve these items can be made through the RLC. Because these items could present a fire hazard, students will be fined a life safety fine for leaving items in the hallway or common area.

Custodial Services

Colorado College has a contract for cleaning services. It is also expected that students will take 责任 for cleaning up after 自己 with respect to using common areas such as kitchens and lounges. Prompt reporting of any 维护 or 管家 concerns as they occur is strongly 鼓励 so that the issue can be responded to quickly.

Damage and Vandalism Billing 程序

Recovery of Costs

Damage appeals may be granted for clerical error, if a student reports the 负责任的 party, or if a student can document that they were out of town for the extended time when the damage occurred. Appeals are not granted for the reason that students do not agree with the policy. Students are 鼓励 to contact the senior associate dean of students if they have any suggested changes to improve the policy.

Fire Alarms

If a fire alarm occurs, the Colorado Springs Fire 部门 will come. If it is a false alarm, the fire 部门 will secure the building before students can be let back inside. If a building has excessive false alarms, staff may need to key into rooms to secure the building prior to letting students inside to ensure that students are 疏散 the building every time the alarm sounds. Every student 住宅 building is connected directly to the Colorado Springs Fire 部门 except 兄弟会, 跨信仰, Synergy, and the CC Inn. Students in these 建筑 should follow the same 疏散 procedure when the local alarm or smoke detectors are 激活; however, they should also call 911 or security from the outside of the building.

They may be conducted each block in the 公寓, 跨信仰, Synergy, and 1010 N. Weber due to the increased risks 相关的 with 监管相对 社区 that have private bathrooms and kitchens. 房间/公寓 with serious or repeat concerns may be inspected more 经常 out of concern for the community. Staff will announce these 检查 at least 48 hours in advance. Most 检查 will occur over breaks. Students do not need to be present and will be informed of any 潜在的 concerns.

If staff becomes aware of a 维护 concern, they will take 适当的 steps to respond and repair as needed, which may include entering student rooms or 公寓 without prior notice.

报告 Concerns

Students can contact their front desk to report a 维护 concern.

Opening and Closing of Halls and 公寓

Before the beginning of each 学期, an 公告 will be made in official college 出版物 about the days and times that 住宅 大厅/公寓 and small houses may be occupied and must be vacated. In general, the halls open for returning students the Saturday prior to the first day of class. Students who will take only a 半条街 class on the CC campus during spring semester must move out and check out of their rooms prior to winter break closing. Students are 负责任的 for making travel 安排 in 根据 with this policy.

CC does not insure and is not 负责任的 for loss or damage to the personal property of students for any cause (包括 but not limited to, fire, flood, or theft.) The office of 住宅 Life & Campus 活动 or the 部门 of Housing & 会议 do not cover the cost of damage to student 物品, including food left in 冰箱、 items that become water damaged due to 满溢的 toilets, or laundry costs due to insect 出没的。. It is strongly suggested that students consult with their 父母/监护人 to see if there is coverage provided through the family's insurance policies or that students purchase private personal property insurance from a reliable company. A brochure detailing a low-cost student plan is 可用 from our office. Property remaining in student housing at the time the contract is 终止 (or the student checks out) 立即 becomes the property of the college. Students are 负责任的 for the 保管 of their property and are expected to keep their room door locked at all times in order to maximize security. A small lockable safe provided in each student space (those students in 临时 triple rooms will need to share safes). We encourage students to utilize these as one resource for their property.

This means that students agree that they will not bring these items or their effects into the community and will also ensure that their guests abide by this. 24-hour quiet 社区 are places where students prefer to live in a quieter 环境. The quiet policy applies to these areas at all times.

Special Housing 考虑 for On-Campus Housing

Room Changes

After a student selects a room at room 选择 or is assigned a room as an incoming student, they need to follow the 程序 below to change rooms. For the first two weeks of each 学期, room changes are limited to the de-tripling of rooms and 紧急 的情况下. After the first two weeks of the 学期, the wait list opens and students may apply to change rooms.

紧急情况

In severe 情况下, the college may authorize and or require a room change in an expedited way. Students who find 自己 in this kind of situation can contact the room 作业 manager located in Bemis Hall or their RLC.

Roommates

If a student moves out of a room or 公寓, the remaining 室友(s) have the 机会 to name a 更换. The remaining 学生(s) will be contacted via email with a deadline to name a new roommate. During the academic year, 48 hours is the usual deadline for this. If the 学生(s) does not name a 更换 roommate, the space is returned to the office of 住宅 life to assign via the wait list. If all roommates or apartment-mates are vacating a 房间/公寓, the space is returned to the office of 住宅 life to assign through the wait list.

Wait List Process

• A student completes a wait list card and turns it into the central office. .
• Wait list requests are placed in order by year in school, and then by date received.
• As rooms become 可用的, the wait list is utilized to select which student will be offered the room.
• The student is notified via email that a room is 可用. If there is already a student in the room, the student's name will be included in the room offer.
• The student must respond to the offer by the deadline given (usually 48 hours during the academic year)
• The student comes to the office of 住宅 life to begin the room change process.
• At the end of each 学期, the wait list expires. If a student did not receive an offer 类似的 to his/her request, he/she may be offered the 机会 to maintain his/her priority on the wait list for the upcoming semester.

The moving and 房间更改 process should be completed within 48 hours, but 异常 can be made for academic time 承诺 that require an extension.

合并

If one roommate vacates a room, and there is not a 更换 roommate named, it is 必要的 to 巩固 so that students who are on the wait list have an 机会 to get a room with their preferred roommate. The remaining resident may be asked to choose between moving to another room where one bed is vacant or 选择/被 assigned a new roommate. The 部门 of 住宅 life reserves the right to reassign students as needed, which may include requiring a room change.

Security in 住宅 Buildings

We believe that students are the best 保护者 of their own safety and are 鼓励 to be 负责任的 for 自己 and their community by utilizing the 资源 可用 to them. We expect that students will confront or report any concerns they see around the 建筑. In addition, we provide three layers of security that students can utilize to enhance their personal safety and security.

1. In the 监督的 社区 (Bemis, Loomis, South, and 马赛厄斯), the front desk is staffed during the day and evening by a 住宅 life staff member. In the 监管相对 社区 (small houses and 公寓), 上流社会的 students are expected to take on more 责任 for their personal safety by not letting others into their 社区
2. The second level of security is the card-swipe system or another type of exterior 门锁 机制, which allows only residents who are assigned to that community access to it. Under the card-lock system, students' Gold Cards will be 编程 to swipe through readers. Building residents will have access at the main entrance. All other doors will be locked and used for 紧急 exit only.
3. The final level of security is the 个人 door lock on each room and apartment door. Students have the greatest control over this level of security.

This 多层次的 system allows our 设施, our staff, and our students to work together to promote a safer community. For more 信息 about campus safety and security, refer to the College Policies and 程序 section.

Storage

We strive to maximize our use of space on campus and therefore have very limited space for student storage. Students who live in Loomis, Mathias, and South may request that empty 行李箱, trunks, or large boxes for moving be stored for the 学期/年 while they live there. Space is limited and priority will be given to student's with triples. These items should require minimal access, such as once or twice per year, for moving purposes. Students are storing these items at their own risk and must label them clearly. Space is on a 谁先 标间 basis for residents who live in those 建筑. There are also lockers 可用 for rental at Mathias for 休闲 equipment. Students can contact the Mathias front desk for more 信息 and costs. Other than the empty suitcase storage and the Mathias storage lockers, there is no storage space for student 物品 outside of students' assigned rooms. Students who choose to utilize a storage company for their 物品 are 负责任的 for ensuring that their 物品 will be picked up and dropped off directly with them, rather than in a lounge or a front desk. Storage companies who utilize portable storage units that are dropped off at the college are not 推荐 as there is not 可用 space for those portable units.

Western Ridge Hosting 的指导方针
