Cedarville University Community Guidelines

5 STUDENT COMMUNITIES PRIVACY The University recognizes your rights as a student and your need for privacy. In many ways, your residence is your temporary home. Therefore, University personnel will enter your unit and/or your room only when necessary for fire safety inspections, repairs to the building or furniture, 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, in cases of emergency, or when there are suspected health or safety risks. Within reason, residents will be notified in advance to schedule any repairs or fulfill maintenance work orders. STUDENT COMMUNITIES ACCESS Upon arrival on campus, students are issued a room key and identification (ID) card. These items become each student’s responsibility. Students are advised to lock their residence for personal safety and to secure their belongings. Lost keys should be reported to the key office in Campus Security. To be issued the replacement keys, students must submit a key request to Campus Security. Tampering with any locking mechanism is considered vandalism and will result in discipline. All keys for Student Communities can be placed in a key return drop box at each location. A fine of $70 is charged for a replacement key or failure to return a key. STUDENT COMMUNITIES GUESTS Each unit (married housing excepted) is a single-gender housing unit. Students are permitted to have same-gender guests stay in their room overnight. The following guidelines should be observed when hosting others in your residence: • Students of the opposite gender are never permitted in the bedroom. • Opposite gender guests are permitted in living areas between 11 a.m. and 1 a.m. • Residents are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will not disturb the peaceful enjoyment of the neighboring premises. Residents must require other persons on the premises with his or her consent to conduct themselves with the same courtesy. REPAIRS AND DAMAGES Students should report the need for repairs through a Maintenance Work Order Request, which can be accessed via myCU. Emergency, after-hours maintenance situations should be reported immediately to Campus Security (not Campus Safety) at 937-239-6491. Students may not attempt any repairs on any Universityowned items (such as appliances) or systems (such as heating and air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, and internet). Students are liable for any loss, injury, or damage to any person or property caused by the act or negligence of the resident and/or the resident’s guests.
