HRL POLICIES

HRL POLICY REFRESHER

With the start of a new semester, it is time to refresh your memory regarding important housing policies.

ANIMALS IN HOUSING

Students are not allowed to have pets in campus housing. Only small fish are allowed in both the residence halls and apartments. Aquariums must be 20 gallons or less.

Service animals and emotional support animals are permitted in campus housing. Students seeking either a service animal or emotional support animal to live in their assigned campus housing space must begin the process with Disability Resources. Students cannot bring an animal to their living space until they have been approved by Disability Resources, met with Housing and signed the Service and Emotional Support Animal Guidelines and Agreement. Residents will have 24 hours to remove any unapproved animal.

Note: Housing and Residence Life is piloting an Animal Friendly Policy for the 2023-2024 academic year. This new policy is separate from the Emotional Support Animal/Service Animal process and guidelines.

For additional information, email Living.

FACILITIES INFORMATION

TOILETS

Please only flush toilet paper.

Flushing hand towels, paper towels, Kleenex, feminine hygiene products will cause sewage lines to clog, resulting in toilets to overflow and sewage to backup into your living space. These types of products should be thrown away in the garbage for your safety and convenience.
