6 halls close at 5 p.m. on the Saturday following final exams. Scheduled Breaks — The residence halls are open during fall break, Thanksgiving break, spring break, and Easter break. During fall break and Easter break, the dining hall is open on an abbreviated schedule. The dinning hall is closed during spring break and Thanksgiving break. The residence halls and dining hall are closed during Christmas break. ROOM CONDITION When students arrive in their residence hall room, they must complete the Room Condition Form in eRezLife. This form is required to be completed at the beginning of the fall semester and again at the end of the spring semester. When students move out of the residence hall, they are required to sign up with a Residence Life staff member for a room inspection. During this inspection, the staff member will use the Room Condition Form to assess the condition of the room. Failure to schedule or attend the inspection will result in a $50 fine. To avoid fines, students should remove all personal belongings, thoroughly clean the room, and return all furniture to an acceptable layout. A minimum fine of $50 will be assessed for rooms that are damaged or not properly cleaned. WEEKLY ROOM CHECKS Students are responsible for cleaning their own rooms. Residence Life staff will announce a weekly room check to help maintain University buildings and furniture and encourage clean and courteous behavior. Students should take room trash to the dumpster, properly store food and beverages, and keep the room floor clear of personal belongings. In addition, lounges (where applicable), bathrooms, and hallways should be clear of personal belongings. Violations will result in a $5–$15 fine. ROOM PRIVACY The University recognizes your rights as a student and your need for privacy. In many ways, your residence hall room is your temporary home. Therefore, University personnel will enter your room only when necessary for weekly room checks, fire safety inspections, repairs to the building or furniture, or to conduct a search (preferably in the presence of the occupant) when there is reason to believe that the standards of the University are being violated. All room searches must be approved by an Associate Dean of Students, the Director of Campus Security, or a designee. RESIDENCE HALL ACCESS Upon arrival to campus, students are issued a room key and identification (ID) card. These items become each student’s responsibility. In addition to a key, most residence halls have ID card access to the building. Students are advised to lock their rooms for personal safety as well as the security of their belongings. Students will receive a $5 fine for residence hall rooms that are left unlocked. Lost keys should be reported to the Key Office so that new keys can be issued for a $70 charge. The “Lost or Stolen Key(s) Form” is found on the Campus Security website (cedarville.edu/campussecurity). Tampering with any locking mechanism is considered vandalism, which will result in discipline. We understand that there may be times when you lock yourself out of your room. If this happens, please contact your roommate first and be patient for them to return. Next, contact your RA but understand that they may not be available to unlock your room door immediately. If your roommate and RA are unavailable and/or you can’t wait for one of them to return, you can contact Campus Security. If your RA needs to unlock your door multiple times, you may be assessed a fine of $20. If Campus Security needs to unlock your unit or room door, you will be assessed a fine of $20.
