Greetings Residents!
The Residence Life Office wishes you success on your mid-term exams, and wish everyone a joyous Spring Break. Here are some important points to keep in mind as you prepare to vacate campus housing:
· Residents must vacate their residence hall rooms on Saturday, March 16 by 10:00am. Campus housing will close on the Morning of March 16 at 10:00am. Campus housing reopens on March 24.
· Any students that NEED to remain on campus passed Saturday, March 16 need to submit a Vacation Housing Request Form to Residence Life through Knight Life no later than March 8 at 4:30pm. The Residence Life Office has the right to approve or deny vacation housing to any student depending on reasoning for vacation housing. Please find the Vacation Housing Request Form below:
CLOSING PROCEDURES:
· Your Resident Adviser will be delivering a Spring Break Closing Form to each room. This form should be filled out and either delivered to the RA or left in a common space (kitchen table for apartments) for the RA to collect while closing the residence hall.
· Please clean your apartment and remove ALL trash.
· Turn off lights, computers, and unplug nonessential appliances.
· Close your drapes and lock your windows.
· Lock your door when leaving.
· Set your thermostats to 70 degrees and keep your cabinet doors under the sink in the bathroom and kitchen open to allow warm air to circulate. Please leave your bedroom doors open. This will help keep the water pipes from freezing.
· Park your vehicle in the Hamlin-Powers parking lot if you are leaving your vehicle on campus.
· Be mindful about packing your vehicles the night before. It can be an invitation to thieves!
Failure to complete this process will result in a $50.00 charge.
MEAL PLAN
If you are approved for vacation housing please be mindful that the dining facilities will not be operating for meal plan use during this time.
FACILITIES & SERVICES may be in your dorm to address work orders and other maintenance issues while you are away. Third-party contractors that we may hire to assist will be accompanied by Clarkson University staff at all times.
FIRE SAFETY INSPECTION
The Residence Life Staff will be doing fire safety inspections of rooms during the break.
Any theft/loss/damage is the responsibility of the assigned room residents.
Your residence will be inspected upon departure for any maintenance or damage concerns.
Have a great break!
Sincerely,
Residence Life Staff
