hallway bathrooms, Students are asked to aid with the cleanliness of these bathrooms. Trash in hallway
bathrooms should only contain materials for personal hygiene. Personal trash, food waste, and etc., should be
brought down to the trash room. Excessive cleaning and trash removal charges will be billed as common area
damage charges to all Students who share the bathroom.
Responsibility for Personal Property
Resident Students are responsible for their personal belongings. The College does not assume any legal obligation
to pay for the loss or damage (theft, fire, water or any other cause) to items that are the personal property of
residents which occurs in its buildings or on its grounds. Students or their parents are encouraged to carry
appropriate insurance to cover such losses. Personal homeowner’s policies should be checked for loss coverage.
Lock your door even if you are only leaving the room for a minute. Valuables and irreplaceable items should be left
at your permanent address.
Any thefts should be reported to Public Safety as soon as possible. At the end of the academic year, Students must
remove all personal belongings. The College does not assume responsibility for any articles left in the residence
halls. All personal items left in the room 24 hours after closing will be considered abandoned property and will be
discarded at the owner’s expense.
Aid in Maintenance
Students are expected to assist and cooperate with the College in the care and maintenance of the premises and
shall report promptly to their residence hall staff any breakage, damage, or need for repair of the resident’s room,
facilities, or equipment therein. Students shall not adjust or tamper with any mechanical equipment. Damage
charges may be assessed to Students if unreported leaks etc. in Student rooms cause damage to the property.
Common Area
Common areas such as hallways, lounges, food preparation areas, bathrooms, and laundry rooms are furnished
and maintained by the College for the use of all Students. Furniture is not to be removed from these areas. If
common areas are damaged or if lounge furniture is found in a Student’s room, the occupants of the room will be
charged accordingly. Public area damage that cannot be attributed to individuals will be billed on a prorated basis
to the residents of that hall. Each hall is generally equipped with a refrigerator, microwave and vending machines.
Furnishings vary by building. Residence hall common spaces are intended for use by occupants of the hall and their
guests. Persons not using the common space for the intended purpose or those Students creating a disruption will
be asked to leave. Kitchen preparation areas, microwaves, etc. must be kept clean and all personal trash must be
removed to the trash room. Damage to equipment and excessive cleaning and trash removal charges will be billed
as common area damage charges to all Students of the building.
Trash
Students may not leave their trash in the halls or in common areas. A trash room is provided. Any trash found in
the hall or common area will be billed on a prorated basis to the residents of that hall or floor at a rate of $10.00
per bag.
Alcohol & Drugs
No alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs are permitted on the Fisher College campus. This includes empty alcohol
containers, shot glasses, funnels, flasks, alcohol paraphernalia (e.g., bottle lamps, etc.) and drug paraphernalia
(e.g., grinders, rolling papers, hookahs, bongs, pipes, roach clips, etc.). Students will be sanctioned for possession.
