Residence Hall Guidelines

11 MICROWAVE AND REFRIGERATOR REGULATIONS All appliances must be UL- or ETL-approved. Microwave ovens with a maximum of 1,000 watts are permitted. Refrigerators are not to exceed 4 cubic feet and rated to draw no more than 2.5 amps. Due to safety issues, refrigerators designed for RVs may not be used in the residence halls. Students wishing to dispose of a refrigerator must notify University Maintenance via a Maintenance Work Request in myCU. There are EPA requirements that mandate recovering all refrigerants before the disposal of a refrigerator. There is a $50 fee assessed to the student for the University to dispose of a refrigerator due to the refrigerant recovery process. WINDOWS AND SCREENS Students should not enter or exit through windows. Window screens are not to be removed from residence hall windows at any time. A $50 fine will be assessed for these violations. Students should report missing screens immediately to their RD. In the interest of modesty and propriety, students may not approach the residence hall windows of students of the opposite gender. PETS University regulations do not allow students to house pets in the residence halls with the exception of fish, if kept in a clean aquarium of up to 10 gallons. Request for an emotional support animal must be made through Disability Services. FIRE CODE REGULATIONS It is impossible to list all possible fire hazards and regulations.
