Residence Hall Guidelines

10 Suggestions on how to construct a safe, suitable bed riser: ƒ All bed frame legs on our campus are not identical. ƒ The dimensions for a bed riser that has been determined to work best on our campus is 2¼” wide by 3¼” long by 11” tall. ƒ The bed leg on which the riser will sit is approximately 25 inches tall. This 25 inches plus the 11 inch tall riser stays within the maximum height of 36 inches from the floor to the bottom of the bed frame. ƒ The riser framework for the bed leg to sit in should be no higher than 35 ¾” (which leaves a ¼” gap clearance from the bed frame), but not less than 6” for support. ƒ You may use some semi-stiff cardboard or cloth to serve as filler to ensure a tight fit between the bed leg and the riser so that there is no movement. ƒ Once your bed is set up, it must be inspected by your Resident Director for approval. ƒ The riser may be made of any material strong enough to support the bed frame leg while in use, but not damage the wooden bed leg or flooring. Bed risers are most often made of wood or metal. Questions may be directed to your Resident Director or the Residence Life office at 937-766-7872. ROOM DECORATIONS While expressions of individuality are encouraged in room decorations, the University has established some guidelines relative to safety, care of property, privacy, and testimony. Decorations in your room should leave no doubt that you are a Christian student at a Christ-centered institution. This means that all decorations should be consistent with your commitment to the Cedarville Covenant. Therefore, room decorations should not include obscene or suggestive materials or contain irreverent or sacrilegious slogans. Additional room decoration guidelines include: ƒ Students are responsible for any damage to the walls. ƒ No more than 25 percent of any wall can be covered with combustible materials (e.g., paper, cloth, or plastics). ƒ Only one string of lights can be used as a room decoration. ƒ Window blinds may not be removed or altered in any way. ƒ Window glass, screens, or frames should have nothing glued, taped, or attached to them (inside or outside). ƒ Metal hangers should not be placed over doors, hinges, or frames. ƒ Ceiling tiles are not to be removed or altered. ƒ Nothing should be hung from the ceiling.
