A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN OF STUDENTS - Fisher College

The College is not open during official vacation periods, this includes winter, Thanksgiving, Spring and summer breaks.
The residence halls will be closed and all students must vacate their room after their last final exam. Seniors must
vacate their rooms by 6:00 p.m. on graduation day. The residence halls will be closed during winter break between
semesters. No students will be allowed to live in the residence halls during this time. During Thanksgiving and Spring
Breaks, students must vacate campus housing. However, out of state students and international students may be
allowed to stay in the halls under the discretion of the Dean of Students during Thanksgiving and Spring Breaks: In
that event, they may be subject to additional charges and/or temporary room assignment. Students should apply for
permission with the Office of Housing and Residential Life. Please note that services such as Dining Services, Health
Services, Counseling Services, etc. are unavailable during these official vacation periods. During the summer, students
taking on-campus classes for credit may be allowed to stay in the residence halls, as long as they are not under
student con-duct sanctions. There is a separate charge for summer housing. Please be advised that summer residents
may be required to move to accommodate the maintenance schedule or to allow for emergency work.
Students have long weekends only as scheduled and are expected to attend classes before and after vacations and
holidays. Before you leave for any vacation period, please make sure to lock doors and windows, unplug appliances
and other major items and empty any trash (this includes unplugging and emptying your refrigerator). Doing this helps
decrease safety and health risks.
RESIDENT RESPONSIBILITY AND RESIDENCE HALL POLICIES
CONDITION OF ROOM AND COMMON AREAS
Residents are responsible for their rooms and room furnishings. All residents will complete a Room Condition Report
when they establish occupancy. Damages occurring during their period of occupancy beyond normal wear and tear will
be assessed to the individual(s) responsible, as will cleaning charges. Furnishings must not be removed from the room
or public areas without the authorization of the Resident Director. Pictures and other materials may be posted on walls
within student rooms using a nondefacing adhesive. No nails or screws may be driven into any wall. The resident(s)
responsible will bear the cost of repair or replacement for damaged or misplaced furnishings. Cost for damages or loss
occurring in the room and public areas of a building will be shared equally by all residents assigned to that room or
building when the damage or loss cannot be attributed to specific individuals.
CHECK IN
Students may move into assigned living space by reporting to check-in locations during the dates and times specified
in their agreement and other communication from Fisher College. Unless previous arrangements have been made,
anyone who fails to check in during the specified dates and times will forfeit his/her original room assignment. Students
who fail to check in to their buildings and who also fail to enroll in classes will forfeit their prepayments, and their housing
agreements will be void. An enrolled student who fails to check in to the building but who has not been granted an
approved Housing Agreement Release may remain subject to the financial obligation incurred by signing the Housing
Agreement and/or completing the housing deposit.
