Campus Living Information
Below are highlighted items from the Campus Living Handbook. Please be certain to review all information provided in the Campus Living Handbook.
Housing During Vacation Break Periods
With an incoming class of students moving into campus residences prior to the start of each semester, it is discouraged and normally not allowed for residents to stay past the announced check out date for each term.
Alcohol
Alcoholic beverages are only allowed in rooms/units and not in hallways, common spaces or elsewhere in or near the residences or anywhere else on campus. Beer kegs or other alcohol, served in large quantities (i.e., party balls, punch bowls, and garbage cans) are not permissible in the rooms/units or elsewhere on campus.
Guests Overnight
Only the resident(s) of a room/unit is/are allowed to occupy the assigned room/unit; however; from time to time, you may wish to have family or friends visit. If you wish to have an overnight guest, discuss it, when applicable, with your roommate first, and then contact the Campus Living Office or a Campus Living staff member to complete the Guest Approval form and to facilitate security access on campus. Not more than two guests may stay up to 16 days per semester. If a resident wishes to request an exception to this policy, the Director of Housing and Campus Living may be contacted.
Pets
Due to potential health problems and nuisance concerns in close living quarters, wear and tear on furnishings, government confinement requirements for the first 30 days upon arrival, and a concern for exposing clinical animals to any domestic animals on campus, pets are forbidden in the Campus Living Residences.
Smoke-free Environment
All indoor space in the Campus Living Residences is designated as smoke-free. No one may smoke anywhere in the residences. Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary sanctions, including possible removal from the residences. Students who wish to smoke must use only the designated smoking areas outside the residences.
Building Hours
Main entrance doors to the Campus Living Residences are unlocked during business hours. These entrances are locked from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and at all times during weekends. All students have 24 hour access to their own residences and their individual units. When main entrance doors are locked, residents will need to use their keys to enter.
Safety & Security Department Personnel
For the personal safety of students and to provide the most secure environment possible in the residences, there is a security presence established. Safety and Security Department personnel will be stationed on the east side of campus (Campus Living Residences area) 24 hours/seven days/week.
Property Loss and Insurance
Each resident is encouraged to carry personal property insurance. The university cannot assume responsibility for the destruction, theft, or loss of money, valuables, or other property belonging to, or in the custody of, the resident for any cause whatsoever, regardless of whether such losses occur from the resident’s room or public areas. St. Kitts insurance representatives with personal valuables coverage will be on Campus during New Student Orientation.
