5 TOWNHOUSE PRIVACY The University recognizes your rights as a student and your need for privacy. In many ways, your townhouse unit is your temporary home. Therefore, University personnel will enter your townhouse and/or your room only when necessary for 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. TOWNHOUSE ACCESS Upon arrival to campus, students are issued a room key and identification (ID) card. These items become each student’s responsibility. Students are advised to lock their townhouse and bedroom for personal safety as well as the security of their belongings. Lost keys should be reported to the key office in Campus Security so that new keys can be issued for a $70 charge. To be issued the replacement keys, students must obtain a Key Request Form from the Residence Life deans to take to Campus Security and obtain a new key. Tampering with any locking mechanism is considered vandalism, which will result in discipline. Townhouse keys must be returned to Campus Security when leaving at the end of a semester or upon withdrawal midsemester. A fine of $70 is assessed for failure to return a key. REPAIRS AND DAMAGES Students should report the need for repairs directly to Maintenance via an online maintenance work request. Emergency, after-hours maintenance situations should be reported immediately to Campus Security at 937-239-6491. Students are responsible to pay for repairs or damages that are due to student behavior, whether intentional or accidental. UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING RISKS The University is not responsible for the loss or damage of personal property. Students are advised to obtain personal property insurance if it is not already covered by a parent’s homeowners insurance policy. Students should report any losses immediately to Campus Security to ensure a proper record for the insurance company and to allow for a Campus Security investigation. In the event the University is closed or makes a change in the residential status of students, no refund for room and board may be issued.
