The following guidelines support the safety and security of residents, the maintenance of the buildings, and provide instruction for students in community living. PERSONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY Students are expected to assume responsibility for their own personal care. Ohio law and general health practices influence some of our guidelines for community health.

These policies (applicable for residence hall students) and additional information can be found at cedarville.edu/ums.
