Follow
these guidelines to save you money at the end of the academic
year! If these guidelines are not followed, the resident
will be charged for damages.
Do not use double-sided tape, putty, duct tape,
or other substances that will leave a “gummy” residue
on your door, walls, or furniture.
For plaster and drywall surfaces, use thumbtacks
and small nails (no more than 10 per
wall). For cinderblock walls,
use masking tape.
Use only tacks or small nails. Do not
use screws, large nails
or other implements to hang items. Do not put multiple
holes in close proximity
to each other.
Do not hang wallpaper, border paper, or anything
that will permanently adhere to the
walls.
Do not put anything
on either side of your
door which may leave marks or residue.
Mirrors, extra shelves, hooks,
and other such items
need to be removed at the end of the year. They are
not considered
room improvements.
Residents who attempt to paint
or make any repairs to
their own rooms will be charged for repair by
the university.
Do not line drawers or shelves with
adhesive-backed paper.
At the end of the year, students
are billed for any
damage to the room. Damage not claimed by one
person
will be split between all residents
in the room.
