MBL housing policies Alcohol/Drugs The use of alcohol is permitted by those of legal drinking age (21 years) in their room/apartment/cottage/house or in the room/apartment/cottage/house of another person of legal drinking age. Drinking alcohol is not permitted in any public area unless at an MBL-sanctioned event. The definition of public area includes: lounges, laundry rooms, hallways, stairwells, lobbies, public restrooms, and outside of any residence area including porches. Cottage residents, residents of 2-bedroom apartments, and residents of Crane House and Smith Cottage may use alcohol on their porches and in their immediate yards as long as those using alcohol are of legal drinking age. Kegs, beer balls, and wine boxes are prohibited. (See also, Party/Gatherings, page 16.) The MBL Alcohol policy can be found at http://www.mbl.edu/hr/toolkit/manual/hr_policy_manual_g.1.12.html. The use of illegal drugs or the use of legal drugs for purposes other than intended is strictly prohibited. If found in violation, the user will be asked to leave the MBL immediately without refund of fees and the incident will be reported to the appropriate legal authorities. Cancellation Policy Cancellation of a reservation (except for conference participants) must be made 15 days in advance of the arrival date. A $30 cancellation fee will be charged. Guests who cancel a reservation (except for conference participants) less than 15 days in advance of arrival date will be charged in full. There are no refunds for early departures or late arrivals. When a meal plan is cancelled, the cancellation will take effect on Monday of the following week. If applicable, a refund will be issued. As with all policies, mitigating circumstances may override the policy. Any requests for exceptions to this policy must be submitted in writing to the Director of Conferences, Housing, and Dining Services. Candles/Incense The burning of candles or incense is prohibited in any MBL housing facility except in the case of religious observance and only with prior permission from the Housing Office. Condition of Room/Apartment/Cottage Except for normal wear and tear on facilities, occupants are responsible for losses and damages incurred. Occupants are prohibited from affixing materials to the walls, removing furniture, fixtures, or linens. Although a security deposit is required only for those cottage residents who have been approved to bring pets, housing units must be left in the condition in which they were found upon arrival. A fee will be charged if repairs or replacements are required. 14
Electrical Appliances The use of open-coil cooking appliances such as toasters, toaster ovens, hot plates, etc. is permitted only in housekeeping units with kitchens or in the kitchenette area in the basement of Ebert Hall. Air conditioners and space heaters are prohibited in all MBL housing facilities. The following electrical appliances are permitted: • Dormitory-size refrigerators • Dormitory-size microwave ovens • Hot pots for heating water only • Hot air popcorn poppers • Fans • Irons (when used in designated laundry rooms) Fire Safety The safety of all of our guests is of utmost importance to the MBL. Smoke detectors have been installed and fire evacuation directions are posted in each hallway. Fire extinguishers have been placed in all hallways and housekeeping units and are checked on a regular basis. Tampering with any fire safety equipment is strictly prohibited and will be reported to the appropriate authorities. Fire Alarms If a fire alarm sounds you must evacuate the building immediately. First, feel the back of your door with the back of your hand to determine if there is heat or electrical current. Then, open your door and follow the escape route that is posted in the hallway of your building or go to the nearest exit. If there is smoke in the hallway, crouch down as smoke rises. If you see flames outside of your room, go back into your room and place a wet towel at the base of your door and call for help. Furnishings Furnishings provided by the MBL are to be kept in the room/apartment/house/ cottage in which they were found upon arrival. The MBL does not store furniture for guests. Upon check-out, furniture should be present, assembled, and in the same condition in which it was found at check-in. Guests Guests must be of the same gender of all roommates so as not to create an uncomfortable setting for all concerned. All guests of MBL residents must be registered at the Housing Office in the Swope Center 48 hours prior to arrival. Where applicable, residents must also have the approval of their roommate(s) and the Housing Department before inviting guests to stay with them. The number of guests at any given time must not exceed the number of beds in the unit plus one. Guests may stay no more than two consecutive nights in a week. Residents will be charged $30/night for each guest. Guests must be accompanied by their host and carry both an MBL Visitor’s Permit and photo ID at all times. 15
