Am I allowed to have a microwave or fridge in my room?
You are allowed to have a mini fridge but no microwave. The only approved microwave that you may have in your room is one that is part of a microfridge combination. You may rent a microfridge from the University. Microfridges are $75 a semester and can be rented through the Office of Student Development.
May I loft my furniture?
If you intend to build your own loft, you must use the following construction guidelines and specifications. These guidelines and specifications must be followed exactly. For your safety and the safety of others they are not negotiable.
Liability
Please understand that there are dangers and hazards in the construction, assembly, use and disassembly of a bed loft. The student assumes all related risks and responsibilities. Students will be required to pay the repair or replacement costs of any University property lost or damaged as a result of loft construction or use. Residential Life does not sell or endorse lofts sold by private vendors. The University will not provide installation and construction services of any personal lofts and at no time accepts the responsibility for the loss of or damage to any loft, or parts thereof, that have been erected in the residence halls. The University assumes no responsibility for any injuries that may occur from using a loft.
Reservation of Rights
The resident hall staff reserves the right to have the student remove their loft at any time including, but not limited to; violation of guidelines, safety issues, resident's complaints, and issues of cleanliness.
Specifications
1. The loft must be totally self-supporting and free standing, with no attachments to walls, ceilings, floors, shelves, woodwork or University furnishings. No nails, bolts or screws can be used in room walls, ceilings, floors or University-owned furnishings.
2. All University owned furnishings, including beds and frames, must remain in the room in which they were originally placed. Therefore, most loft structures are built to hold the bed frame intact. There is not sufficient storage space for bed parts in each hall. Room furnishings should not be stored in residence hall storage rooms or taken out of the building. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in a $50 fine.
3. Any strong wood in good condition can be used. It is recommended that you have sufficient horizontal or diagonal bracing on the sides and rear to prevent the unit from swaying. The wood used in the construction of the loft must be flame retardant and designed for indoor use. Pressure-treated or chemically-treated lumber (generally green in color) may not be used. Treated lumber is designed for outdoor use only and can create a serious health hazard in an enclosed environment.
4. In the interest of personal safety, the height from the top of the mattress to the ceiling may be no less than 30".
5. Due to fire regulations, lofts may not block any room windows (must have 2.5' clearance) and doors must be able to swing fully open.
6. For the safety of students, beds are not permitted to be under a loft.
7. All loft legs must be sitting on the floor.
8. Any furnishings, personal or institutional, should not be arranged in such a way as to hinder exiting a student's room.
9. Loft systems must be built and located so that they do not interfere with access to heating, ventilation or air-conditioning units, thermostats, or plumbing.
10. Residents are cautioned to take all possible precautions against damage to walls, paint, floor tile, woodwork, and other furniture. You are responsible for any damages (as determined by the residence hall staff) caused by the construction or use of your loft.
11. Extra loft materials may not be stored in the residence halls. If materials are found in storage, they will be disposed of and a fine will be assessed.
12. Lofts must be removed by the required dates designated by the Office of Student Development each semester. If these dates and times are not followed, a $50 fine will be assessed.
13. Before you vacate your room you must return all room furnishings to their original condition and position.
Possible Fines/Charges
1. Students will be required to pay the repair or replacement costs of any University property lost or damaged as a result of loft construction or use.
2. All wood scraps, trash, sawdust, etc. must be taken directly to disposal sites outside the buildings and not left in the hallways or deposited in hall trash cans.
3. Students are responsible to take apart their loft and dispose of it according to the guidelines.
