Residential Life Handbook

5 Rest Rooms Milligan Hall has bathroom and shower facilities in each suite, Gross Hall has bathrooms on each floor, and Mead Hall in each wing. The use of bathrooms and shower facilities is limited to campus residents. Guest bathrooms are available in Gross and Mead Hall for visitors. Guests wishing to shower may use the hall bathrooms if they are guests in gender respective halls. Otherwise, guests are welcome to use the showers in the Thatcher Hall locker rooms. For example, a male guest in the men’s hall may shower in Mead Hall, but a female guest would need to use the showers in Thacher Hall. Laundry Washers and dryers are furnished in the residence halls at no cost to students. Residents must provide their own laundry supplies. Laundry facilities are provided only for on campus residents. Off campus students are not allowed to utilize the laundry facilities and may face sanctions for doing so. Laundry Room Etiquette • Residents are responsible for their own belongings in the laundry room. • Residents should be considerate of the use of the machines as they are shared with all students in that hall. • Residents should empty the lint traps into the garbage receptacles in the laundry room after each use. • Any personal items left in the laundry room will be disposed of if not claimed. • Residents are asked to read machine instructions or ask a staff member for assistance if they do not know how to properly operate the machines. • Non-residents are not allowed to use residence hall laundry facilities. Trash Custodial personnel clean all common/public areas within the residence halls. Students are responsible for purchasing cleaning supplies and equipment for their rooms, and responsible for cleaning their rooms. Students are responsible for bagging and placing all garbage in the trash dumpsters located behind each residence hall.

Everyone who lives on campus is required to purchase a meal plan. Identification cards will be issued at the beginning of each semester and students must present their card at each meal. ID cards used for the meal plans cannot be transferred to others. Cards found in the possession of someone other than the owner will be confiscated and disciplinary action will be taken. Refunds are not given for missed meals. Special dietary requirements should be brought to the attention of the food service director. The meal times are posted in the Dining Hall located in the Knudson Student Center. Health Services Students experiencing health problems may consult with the DCB Nurse.
