Room Inspection

When vacating their assigned space, students are expected to remove all of their personal belongings and all non-College owned furniture.  All trash should be removed and the floors should be swept/vacuumed. Cleaning supplies such as trash bags, vacuums and brooms are available from Housekeeping by calling (207) 725-3672. 

Rooms that require cleaning or trash removal by Facilities Management will be assessed a $150 minimum per room cleaning fee. Additional charges may be assessed.

The removal of bodily fluids such as urine, feces, vomit and blood will incur an additional fee.

These areas are for the use and enjoyment of all students, and include lounges, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, entryways, stairwells, laundry rooms and College grounds.  Since these areas are for the use and enjoyment of all students, it is important that everyone dispose of their trash and clean up spills promptly.  Students holding social events must clean up no later than noon the following day.  Failure to do so by the deadline could result in the entire house being billed a minimum $100 per room/space cleaning fee.

In addition to the interior responsibilities, apartment residents are responsible for the grounds in and around their unit. Litter and furniture left outside will be charged to the students(s) assigned to the unit unless a specific person assumes responsibility. 

Residents of College assigned housing are financially responsible for damage, loss of College property, and/or cleaning costs above and beyond wear and tear.  In addition, incidents that are determined to be of a willful or malicious nature may be referred to the Office of Residential Life for disciplinary action. 

Students may use small push pins to secure items such as posters to the wall.  Any wall damage caused by the removal of tape will be charged to the occupant(s). 

Because of liability and safety concerns, students are not permitted to paint or make improvements to their assigned space without express written permission from Facilities Management, nor may they hire independent contractors. 

Whenever possible, the individual(s) responsible for the damage, vandalism, inappropriate use, extra cleaning costs, repainting, or repairs deemed by Facilities Management to be beyond normal wear and tear will be held responsible. When the person or group, (including but not limited to residents of a room, floor, suite, wing or apartment), cannot be identified, all occupants of the building/floor/apartment complex will be charged. 

Attempts by students to repair damages or to repaint in order to reduce the financial implications, will not be considered and they will be assessed the full charge.

When College furniture is found in areas other than its intended and original location, the responsible student(s) will be assessed a $50 relocation fee per item. In cases where the student(s) responsible is not identified, all occupants of a space will be held collectively responsible for missing/relocating furniture.  

All College furniture must remain indoors.  Furniture found outside will be returned to its original location and the residents will be assessed a $50 relocation fee per item.  If the furniture is damaged due to outside exposure the residents will be charged the full replacement price.
