Regulations

At Simpson College, several authorities including the Simpson College Board of Trustees; the Department of Residence Life; state, federal, and local authorities; and area councils establish conduct regulations. Additionally, State of Iowa statutes apply to all Simpson College students. The College reserves the right to make changes in the rules and regulations for campus facilities at any time and will attempt to give prior notice in case of proposed changes.

* Abandoned Property

Any personal items left more than 24 hours in public hallways, bathrooms, or kitchens can be considered abandoned and is subject to being discarded by custodial staff. Any items left in residential facilities after check-out will be discarded, including furniture. Items left in Colonial storage (for international students) beyond contract deadlines is also considered abandoned and subject to being discarded.

* Alcohol/Drugs

The residence halls and the Station Square apartments are substance-free living areas. Substance Free means that, regardless of age or occasion, alcohol use or possession is not allowed within the building. This includes empty containers and items that lead to an “assumption of consumption.”

In other residential facilities only students who have attained the legal drinking age of 21 years may possess or consume alcoholic beverages in the privacy of their own rooms with the door closed. Student rooms are not designed to accommodate large groups of people. A group consisting of no more than 2 guests per resident of the room but never totaling more than 12 people in a room is permitted. Any group of 12 or more where alcohol is present constitutes an unregistered party and is therefore subject to disciplinary action. At no time should a resident or guest who is under the age of 21 consume alcohol.

Alcohol is not allowed in any public area such as lounges, stairwells, hallways, computer rooms, laundry rooms, and any exterior location (lawn, steps, patio, deck, etc.).

Federal and state laws forbid the sale and use of drugs that are not prescribed by a physician or available on the legal open market. The College prohibits possession, use or distribution of marijuana or any other illegal substance, use of prescribed medications used by someone else, or used in a manner not consistent with the prescription. Any student known to be possessing, using or distributing drugs is subject to College disciplinary action and arrest, imprisonment or fine according to state law.

The complete Simpson College alcohol policy can be found in the Simpson College Student Handbook.

* Appliances

Study lamps, radios, televisions, stereos, VCR/DVD players, portable hair dryers, computers, closed coil appliances, sealed unit coffee makers, and thermostatically controlled hot pots may be kept in student rooms. Microwaves must be 2.0 cubic feet or less and refrigerators must be 4.3 cubic feet or less. Microwaves and refrigerators are limited to two per room. Space heaters, window air conditioner units, halogen lamps, and open coil electrical appliances (including toasters, toaster ovens, and hot plates) are prohibited. Appliances that are permitted by Residence Life must be safety (UL) approved. Overloading the electrical systems can present a fire and safety hazard. Students should use a power strip with surge protection rather than extension cords which are greatly discouraged. All electrical appliances should be unplugged during holiday/break periods.

* Bicycles

Bicycles cannot be parked in stairwells, hallways or doorways, and they may not block or prohibit the use of fire exits or hall entrances. You may keep your bicycles in your room; however, any additional maintenance cost which results through such storage in your room will be assessed to you. The College is not responsible for damage or theft of bicycles while on campus. Bikes should be locked to bike racks.

* Cable TV
Simpson College provides BroadBand Basic and Family Cable to all rooms. Students will need to bring their own coaxial cable to connect. Be sure you know how to make your TV cable-ready. For an additional fee, premium channels and services are available through Mediacom; call (515) 246-1555 to order. Be sure to give your physical street address (example: 703 North E Street instead of ATO Fraternity). Students are only responsible for the part that Simpson College doesn’t pay. More information about the channel line-up, packages you can buy, and a listing of your physical street address can be found on the Information Services webpage.

* Calendar/Important Dates
Always consult the Residence Life calendar online for dates of all breaks, hall closings, Room Selection, Staff Selection, etc. on the Important Dates page.

* Check-in
Before moving into your assigned room, report to the main lounge of your assigned hall, or the Student Development Office (Brenton Student Center) where a Residence Life staff member will greet you. Your Community Advisor (CA) or House Assistant (HA) for your floor/building will have completed a Room Inventory prior to your arrival. The Room Inventory records all damages and imperfections in the room/apartment. The form should be checked and signed by both the resident and staff member at check-in. The Room Inventory Form forms the standard by which the room will be judged at the end of the year. It is the responsibility of a resident to make their staff aware of any problems or imperfections not noted on Room Inventory when they notice it. Repairs for any additional damage, other than normal wear and tear, found by the staff member upon checkout will be charged to the resident(s) of that room/apartment/building.

* Check-out

A resident moving out of their room/apartment for any reason must officially check out of the room by:

§ Completing and signing the Room Inventory Form.

§ Having the room checked for cleanliness and damages against the initial room inventory.

§ A charge will be assessed to cover the cost of improper checkout procedures ($25), services required to remove personal belongings ($50), and damages or cleaning that has resulted from a resident’s actions or inactions. The College will not be held responsible for loss of or damage to items left in a room/apartment. Any charge a student incurs must be paid before the student re-enters the College or receives official records.

§ Students checking out at the end of an academic term must do so within 24 hours after their last final exam. Any exceptions to this rule must be cleared through the Department of Residence Life.

* Cooking

All apartments and theme houses are equipped with a full kitchen. When cooking, food should not be left unattended. It is the responsibility of each student to leave the appliances and kitchen area clean and left in the same condition as when they moved in.

Most halls are equipped with sinks, surface units, microwaves and ovens for your occasional cooking convenience. Cooking in rooms should be limited to minor cooking such as popping corn, making coffee and heating soup. When cooking, food should not be left unattended. It is the responsibility of each student to leave the appliances and cooking area clean and all the hall-owned utensils in their proper places.

* Custodial Service/Custodians

The custodians in your living area do a great deal to make your building a comfortable and pleasant place in which to live. Custodians are not expected to clean unnecessary or excessive messes made by residents; when they do, residents from a floor/building may be billed to their student account. When using a common area, students are expected to pick up all trash and leave the area in good condition. Your cooperation in caring for the facilities will make their job easier and will create a pleasant atmosphere and help keep room and board costs low.

When you clean your living space, all trash should be taken to the appropriate receptacles or dumpsters behind your building. Unwanted large items, such as boxes and carpeting, must be taken directly to the dumpster. Do not leave garbage outside your door. Do not sweep dirt into the hallways or stairwells. All residential facilities have vacuum cleaners and basic cleaning supplies available for your use.

* Damage and Vandalism

You are responsible for the condition of your room, apartment and/or house. (Furniture must be placed and in the same condition in the room that it was upon check-in.) The Room Inventory Form should be filled out carefully when you move in because this form is used to determine damages that occur during the year. If damage other than normal wear and tear occurs, you will be charged for repairs.

The condition of public areas is the responsibility of all students. Please help maintain them by treating them with care. Although those persons doing the damage should pay for damages that occur in public areas, unassigned damages can result in community or general hall damage charges, which will be divided among students in the appropriate house/floor/wing. You can help keep your costs down by encouraging others to respect public areas and to assume responsibility for their actions.

* Equipment Checkout

Residents may check out equipment such as vacuums, VCR/DVD players, pool cues, and games in the five traditional residence halls with their student ID.

Only the residents of that particular building may check out equipment.
Equipment may not be taken off campus or to other buildings on campus.
Each Area Council can set time limits for equipment use.

* Extermination

Residential facilities are professionally exterminated regularly. Residents should contact an Area Coordinator if there is a continuing insect problem.

* Windows, Ledges, Decks, Porches or Balconies

Window screens may not be unfastened or removed or else you will be fined $50. In addition, residents will be charged for screen repair and/or replacement.

In some apartments you may have a deck or a porch. The following guidelines apply to these areas:

*Alcohol (even if you are 21) is not allowed in these areas.

*At no time are any objects to be thrown from these areas.

*Gas and/or charcoal grills are not allowed due to fire hazards- there are grills located near most residential facilities.

*Quiet/courtesy hours are in effect in these areas. Please be aware that noise travels far outside.

College liability insurance does not cover accidents occurring from the use of windows, ledges, roofs, balconies or decks. Individuals and/or groups wishing to hang banners off these areas must obtain permission from and make arrangements through the Area Coordinator or Director of Residence Life.

* Fines/Disciplinary Sanctions

Fines can be assessed or discipline taken for any violation of policies listed herein or any action that jeopardizes the health, safety, or security of residents.

When an incident or violation of policy occurs, an Incident Report is generally written. Area Coordinators will usually meet with involved students to obtain more information. Failure to meet with the Area Coordinator also constitutes a violation of policy. Area Coordinators serve as judicial officers for most violations by students who live in their area. Subsequent or larger infractions of campus policy can be acted on by other college officials or the Student Judicial Council. For more information about campus judicial proceedings, please refer to the Simpson College Student Handbook.

* Firearms/Weapons

Possession of any weapon such as, but not limited to, knives, rifles, shotguns, handguns, air guns, bb guns, and ammunition including explosives (e.g. - firecrackers), is prohibited while on College owned or controlled property. Possession of a firearm will result in College disciplinary action and/or arrest, imprisonment or fine according to state law. Please refer to the Student Handbook for details.

* Furniture

Simpson provides a bed, desk, desk chair, bookcase, and dresser for each resident. Each apartment and theme house is furnished with a couch, armchair, and dining table with chairs. Residence hall and Greek house lounges are furnished with couches, chairs, and other lounge items. All furniture assigned to a specific room/apartment MUST remain there for the entire year. Missing room furniture at checkout will be billed to the residents of the room. No built-in furniture may be detached from the walls or floors. No waterbeds are allowed. College-owned lounge furniture found in student rooms will result in a minimum $25 charge per item to the student(s) responsible.

* Holiday/Break/Vacation Housing

Residence halls and certain Greek houses are closed during Fall, Thanksgiving and Spring Break as well as between semesters. Theme Houses and apartments do not close during holiday or break periods, but students must notify Residence Life if they intend to remain on campus. Residence Life staff will enter all rooms and apartments during each break period for reasons of safety, security, and energy efficiency. Residence Life Staff will be on all-campus duty to provide for basic services, security, and care during these periods. Information about holiday housing will be sent to all residents approximately two or three weeks prior to each break period. Any student needing the ability to remain on campus must be approved by Residence Life. Students remaining on campus for reasons other than Simpson related purposes (athletics, academics, etc.) will have charges billed directly to their student account unless they are a resident of a Theme House or apartment. Students with any questions about holiday/break housing should contact the Department of Residence Life. Consult the Residence Life calendar online for dates of breaks and hall closings on the Important Dates page.

* Insurance

Residents are strongly encouraged to have Personal Property Insurance if not covered by your parent’s home policy. The College is not responsible for damage to or loss of personal property in the residential facilities due to fire, theft, interruption of water, heat or other utilities or other causes. Thefts, damage to property, etc., should be reported to the CA, HA, Area Coordinator, or Director of Residence Life and a report should be filed with Simpson College Security.

* Laundry Facilities
Each residence hall, apartment building, and Greek house has coin-operated laundry machines for your use. (Many theme houses have laundry, but the machines are not provided or maintained by the College.) Any malfunction of a College washer or dryer, or need for a refund, should be reported to the Director of Residence Life and your Residence Life staff member. Please contact the Director of Residence Life with the malfunction, machine number, and location, as well as refunds by calling 961-1562 or sending an email to reslife@simpson.edu.
Dyes of any kind are not permitted in washing machines. For the convenience of other students and the safety of your property, clothes should not be left unattended.

* Lofts
All the beds in the residence halls are bunkable or loftable. Use of homemade or store-bought lofts is not permitted.

* Loitering

Loitering in the residential facilities by persons who are not residents of that area is prohibited. Guests must be accompanied by a resident host. Guests in residential facilities must be there for the specific purpose of visiting an identifiable resident.

* Musical Equipment/Pianos

Most of the halls have pianos that are available for your use. You are requested to respect the rights of others when using any musical instruments. Pianos or other musical instruments cannot be used after Quiet Hours.

* Outside Hall Activities

If your campus organization or group is planning an outdoor activity, consult with the Area Coordinator of that building(s) to make sure there are no scheduling conflicts and notice, if necessary, is given to the residents. It is important that any outdoor activity not cause unacceptable noise levels or safety problems. Any use of amplified sound must be approved by the Director of Residence Life and/or Director of Student Activities.

Pets
Pets are not allowed in the residential facilities, even to visit, because of health, sanitation, and noise concerns. The only exceptions are fish (in a tank less than 10 gallons) and registered guide dogs accompanying sight-impaired persons. Minimum fine is $50. In addition, a special cleaning charge of $150 is assessed to any residents who violate this policy.

* Posting Policy

In order to keep the halls neat and orderly, the following posting policy is in effect for the residential facilities:

§ All material must be cleared through the Department of Residence Life. A maximum of 45 copies may be left at the Department of Residence Life to be distributed through student staff to all residential facilities.

§ Painter’s tape is the only acceptable adhesive to hang materials on walls. Bulletin boards are the preferred locations for hanging all signs. Be careful when placing signs, posters, or banners on painted surfaces.

§ Materials cannot be posted on glass surfaces. However, activities may be advertised by painting the glass surfaces on the exterior of the residential facilities. Only tempera paint may be used. The project must be approved one week prior to the event, and the sponsor must clean the windows after the event.

§ Before hanging banners, etc., outside any residential building, permission should be obtained from the Director of Residence Life.

§ More information on posting specifics can be found in the Simpson College Student Handbook.

§ All advertisements must be removed within 48 hours after the event.

§ Any advertisement that is not posted according to the guidelines will be removed.

* Private/Single/Medical Rooms

Students requiring a private room for medical reasons, must submit a Medical Single application prior to March 1, each year. Medical singles granted one year does not guarantee a medical single the following year. Medical single applications must be accompanied by substantiating written documentation from a medical or mental health professional. Please speak directly to the Director of Residence Life to discuss your needs.

Private rooms for non-medical need are generally not available due to space constraints. When space permits, a student may request a private room by payment of an additional fee and permission from the Director of Residence Life. The College reserves the right to consolidate private rooms should crowded conditions exist. Priority for private rooms will be given in this order: medical need, nontraditional (25 years or older) students, seniors, juniors, and sophomores.

* Programming

Programming in residential facilities is a comprehensive venture planned and implemented by your residence life staff and area/apartment councils. The purpose of many of the activities is to provide an opportunity for you to be exposed to knowledge, new ideas, different philosophies and thought provoking stimuli as well as provide fun social opportunities.

* Proximity (Student ID) Cards & Room Combination Locks

Proximity locks are located on all the primary exterior doors of all residential facilities (except theme houses which use keys). Your proximity (Student ID) card gives you access to those doors. Giving your proximity card to another individual for the purpose of accessing the housing unit constitutes a serious security risk for you and your fellow residents. There will be a $100 maintenance/disciplinary charge and subsequent disciplinary action for the student who loans their proximity card to anyone. You are expected to carry your Student ID with you at all times. Residential students may access all traditional residence halls via their proximity ID cards from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Room doors have combination locks. You will be given the combination to your room door when you check-in to your room. It is very important that a student not divulge their room door combination to others. Room door combinations are changed anytime there is a resident who moves out of the room. If a student requests to change their room door combination for other reasons, they will be charged a fee of $15. If a student is irresponsible in their use of their combo lock or giving out information regarding their combo lock, they will be subject to disciplinary action.

Part of the obligation of living in a community is to help safeguard the living environment. Do not prop open exterior doors. You are advised to be security-minded at all times and contact your Residence Life staff or Office of Security whenever you have concerns or issues regarding your security. The Office of Security hires full-time and student security staff to monitor the outside of buildings as well as to provide an escort for students around campus after dark. The Security Department is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the year. Their phone is 961-1711.

* Public Areas

The custodial staff cleans public areas regularly in all residential facilities except Theme Houses. However, residents are expected to help keep public areas neat and orderly. Personal items should not be left in public areas at any time. Laundry should be removed promptly from laundry rooms and balcony/patio areas. At all times, hallways and stairwells must be kept free of furniture, trash and other objects. Only approved wall hangings will be permitted in hallways. Items found in the hallways and stairwells will be removed.

Hallways and stairwells are common areas designed as passageways and are not for recreational activities or excessive noise. Sports, horseplay, running, screaming, or other games or activities in hallways may be disruptive to residents or harmful to the condition of the building. These activities are prohibited and violate 24-hour “Courtesy Hours”.

Common areas of residential facilities may be used for programming activities. Anyone sponsoring activities in common areas must have the approval of the CA, HA, SHC, Area Coordinator, or Director of Residence Life.

* Quiet Hours/Courtesy Hours

Residents should observe Courtesy Hours 24 hours a day and maintain reasonable noise levels at all times. This includes keeping noise to a minimum while moving throughout the buildings and hallways, stairwells, and elevators so as not to disturb others. In order to ensure that students have the opportunity to exercise their primary rights to sleep and study in their rooms, Quiet Hours have been established for all on-campus housing. Quiet hours are from 10:00pm to 10:00am daily Sunday through Thursday and 12:00am (midnight) to 10:00am Friday and Saturday. At any time, a floor or building can decide to extend Quiet Hours with appropriate approval. Extended Quiet Hours will be posted in each area as appropriate. During Quiet Hours, noise should be limited to a level which could not possibly disturb the nearest neighbor’s attempts to sleep or study. It is suggested that you keep your room door closed during Quiet Hours. Televisions, stereos, and radios must be played at a low volume that cannot be heard outside of your room. This standard is upheld whether or not neighbors are present. Music and noise may not be projected from any residential facility to the outside at any time. (For example, speakers may not be placed in windows.)

Station Square Apartments is a 24-hour Quiet Hours facility.

If a resident feels that his/her primary rights to sleep or study is being violated, he/she should follow these guidelines:

Step #1: Speak to the person causing the interference and politely request that the behavior be modified.

Step #2: If the request does not produce satisfactory results, contact a student staff member (CA/HA) on duty for assistance.

Step #3: In more extreme situations when Steps 1 and 2 have not produced satisfactory results, contact Security.

Steps #1-3 should be repeated for each occasion or incident. Remember to treat others as you would like to be treated and that most often people are not trying to disturb you or your neighbors and may need occasional reminders.

Twenty-four hour Quiet Hours are observed during final exams beginning midnight the Friday night prior to finals until the end of the semester.

* Repairs & Maintenance

All repair and maintenance needs should be reported to the Physical Plant (Campus Services). Please call 961-1622 (x1622) or email (facil@simpson.edu) to turn in a work order. Emergency repairs occurring outside the hours of operation (7am-4:30pm, Monday through Friday) should be reported to a staff member for further action. Repairs will be completed based on a campus wide priority including urgency, type of repair and date received. Unless it’s an emergency, five (5) working days should be allowed for repairs. If repairs have not been made within this time, check with your student staff member, Area Coordinator, or directly with the Physical Plant by calling 961-1622.

* Room and Roommate Changes

Room, roommate, or building changes can take place after the first ten (10) calendar days after the academic year begins. You should contact your Area Coordinator (AC) to will assist you in facilitating a room change. A Room Change Request form must be completed, and all moves must be approved before the change occurs. Students must follow regular check-in/check-out procedures. The phone numbers will be switched once the Department of Residence Life receives the completed Room Change Request form. Failure to follow any of the above procedures will result in the $25 improper check-in/check-out fine. Multiple room changes within a given year are discouraged. The Department of Residence Life wants students to be happy with their rooms and their roommates and does not try to block any reasonable request for a room change.

* Roommate Consolidation

Residents in multiple occupancy units who find themselves without roommates should actively try to find a roommate of their own choosing or else another student may be placed with you. The following options exist:

§ Another student may move into the room.

§ The remaining student may move into a different room.

§ The remaining student will accept other students as assigned.

§ The remaining student may be reassigned.

§ The remaining student may be charged the private room fee and continue in the same room below normal occupancy (on approval by the Director of Residence Life).

The College reserves the right to consolidate all vacant spaces.

* Room Inspection and Search Policy

The College reserves the right to have authorized personnel enter student rooms for the purpose of determining general cleanliness of rooms, to determine the amount of damage and general misuse of College property, to remove electrical equipment or other items not in compliance with the housing contract or hall regulations, to make repairs, to decorate on a scheduled basis, to maintain the general order and security of the hall, to address suspected violations of College regulations and/or city, state, or federal laws, to respond to emergency situations and to conduct other official business. Discretion will be used at all times. Whenever possible, the room will be entered when the student is present.

* Room Selection
Simpson College has a Room Selection process for current first-years, sophomores, and juniors, to pick rooms for the following academic year. Applications for Theme Houses, Picken Floor Draw, Medical Singles, and Squatting are available immediately at the beginning of Spring Semester. Lottery numbers and Room Selection applications are available mid-February, and actual Room Selection takes place after Spring Break. In general, members of Greek chapters are expected to live in their chapter residence. Details about Room Selection and all residential facilities are available online on our Housing Options page.

* Smoking

Smoking is not allowed in any college housing. This includes all public areas, hallways, stairwells, and private rooms and baths. Students wishing to smoke may do so outside. Please be conscious and courteous so that your smoke does not bother others and you extinguish cigarette butts in an appropriate container.

* Solicitation

The College does not allow door-to-door solicitation of products or services in the halls. Printed material may not be distributed under a student’s door without the approval of the Department of Residence Life. The Department of Residence Life must approve fundraising activities sponsored by campus organizations if the location is in a residential facilitiy. Furthermore, student rooms are not to be used for commercial solicitation or enterprises. This policy applies to all campus organizations as well as off-campus groups or individuals.

* Staff Selection
Each year Residence Life hires students to serve as CAs (Community Advisors), HAs (House Assistants), SHCs (Student Hall Coordinators), and ARCs (Academic Resource Coordinators) for the following year. Basic information about our positions can be found on our staff page or our "Be on Staff!" page. Applications, deadlines, and job descriptions will be available Spring Semester.

* Storage

Due to limited space, storage facilities are not available for any students except international students. Residents need to keep all their furnishings in their rooms and only bring personal items that their room can accommodate.

* Summer Housing
Summer housing is available each year for Simpson students in one of our apartment buildings. Applications are available in March and housing assignments are made in May. The Summer 2006 rate is $14/day. However, if you work on campus 30+ hours/week and have it verified, the rate is reduced to $7/day. Students must move into their summer apartment the day after graduation, and ends the last Sunday before classes being in the fall. Summer students must move from their summer housing to their fall housing the second Saturday of August.

* Telephones & Voice Mail

Telephone lines with voicemail are provided in your room/apartment/house as a service. You will be assigned a phone number once you are assigned housing and that number will remain with you, regardless of room/hall changes, as long as you live in college-owned housing. You are responsible for supplying a telephone and maintaining a useable voice mailbox. Each voice mail box stores 10 messages. The College is not responsible for repairing instruments or phone jacks damaged by the room’s occupant(s) without cost. If a resident wishes to have their phone number changed due to harassing phone calls, the resident must file a report with Security. Residence Life staff or Information Services can help you set up your voicemail. College staff uses voicemail (and Simpson email) to communicate with students. Do not rely solely on your cell phone if you have one. Many campus offices will not return calls to long distance cell phone numbers, so make sure to use and maintain your campus voicemail.

* Vending Machines
Coin-operated vending machines containing snack foods and beverages are located on the lower floors of each traditional hall, and in some apartment buildings. Losses in vending machines should be reported to your Area Coordinator.

* Visitation
Policies are established for residential facilities to encourage normal visitation privileges for students and guests. Each living unit is expected to discuss or establish rules of behavior for residents and visitors which reflect acceptable standards of conduct and are supportive of the overall mission of the institution. Cohabitation (living together) and over night visitation by guests of the opposite sex is not allowed. No resident shall be obligated to give up access to use of his/her room in order to acquiesce to the visitation desires of his/her roommate(s). A student’s right to study, sleep, and exercise control over his/her personal space takes precedence over the right of others to host guests. It is the responsibility of every resident to respect the right of privacy of his/her roommate. If there are complaints from roommates or others, the resident with visitors is expected to cooperate and compromise in resolving the difficulty. The CA, HA, SHC, and/or AC will handle violations of visitation privileges and unresolved conflicts in accordance with established housing and judicial procedures. The Department of Residence Life may actively intervene if conflicts arise and cannot be resolved between roommates with respect to visitation policy. Final authority for determination and resolution of violations in this area will rest with the Director of Residence Life.

* Windows, Ledges, Decks, Porches or Balconies
Window screens may not be unfastened or removed or else you will be fined $50. In addition, residents will be charged for screen repair and/or replacement. In some apartments you may have a deck or a porch. The following guidelines apply to these areas:
*Alcohol (even if you are 21) is not allowed in these areas.
*At no time are any objects to be thrown from these areas.
*Gas and/or charcoal grills are not allowed due to fire hazards- there are grills located near most residential facilities.
*Quiet/courtesy hours are in effect in these areas. Please be aware that noise travels far outside.

College liability insurance does not cover accidents occurring from the use of windows, ledges, roofs, balconies or decks. Individuals and/or groups wishing to hang banners off these areas must obtain permission from and make arrangements through the Area Coordinator or Director of Residence Life.

This includes empty containers and items that lead to an “assumption of consumption.” In other residential facilities only students who have attained the legal drinking age of 21 years may possess or consume alcoholic beverages in the privacy of their own rooms with the door closed. Student rooms are not designed to accommodate large groups of people. A group consisting of no more than 2 guests per resident of the room but never totaling more than 12 people in a room is permitted. Any group of 12 or more where alcohol is present constitutes an unregistered party and is therefore subject to disciplinary action. At no time should a resident or guest who is under the age of 21 consume alcohol. Alcohol is not allowed in any public area such as lounges, stairwells, hallways, computer rooms, laundry rooms, and any exterior location (lawn, steps, patio, deck, etc.). Federal and state laws forbid the sale and use of drugs that are not prescribed by a physician or available on the legal open market. The College prohibits possession, use or distribution of marijuana or any other illegal substance, use of prescribed medications used by someone else, or used in a manner not consistent with the prescription. Any student known to be possessing, using or distributing drugs is subject to College disciplinary action and arrest, imprisonment or fine according to state law.

Your Community Advisor (CA) or House Assistant (HA) for your floor/building will have completed a Room Inventory prior to your arrival. The Room Inventory records all damages and imperfections in the room/apartment. The form should be checked and signed by both the resident and staff member at check-in. The Room Inventory Form forms the standard by which the room will be judged at the end of the year. It is the responsibility of a resident to make their staff aware of any problems or imperfections not noted on Room Inventory when they notice it. Repairs for any additional damage, other than normal wear and tear, found by the staff member upon checkout will be charged to the resident(s) of that room/apartment/building. * Check-out A resident moving out of their room/apartment for any reason must officially check out of the room by: § Completing and signing the Room Inventory Form. § Having the room checked for cleanliness and damages against the initial room inventory. § A charge will be assessed to cover the cost of improper checkout procedures ($25), services required to remove personal belongings ($50), and damages or cleaning that has resulted from a resident’s actions or inactions. The College will not be held responsible for loss of or damage to items left in a room/apartment. Any charge a student incurs must be paid before the student re-enters the College or receives official records. § Students checking out at the end of an academic term must do so within 24 hours after their last final exam. Any exceptions to this rule must be cleared through the Department of Residence Life. * Cooking All apartments and theme houses are equipped with a full kitchen. When cooking, food should not be left unattended. It is the responsibility of each student to leave the appliances and kitchen area clean and left in the same condition as when they moved in. Most halls are equipped with sinks, surface units, microwaves and ovens for your occasional cooking convenience. Cooking in rooms should be limited to minor cooking such as popping corn, making coffee and heating soup. When cooking, food should not be left unattended. It is the responsibility of each student to leave the appliances and cooking area clean and all the hall-owned utensils in their proper places. * Custodial Service/Custodians The custodians in your living area do a great deal to make your building a comfortable and pleasant place in which to live. Custodians are not expected to clean unnecessary or excessive messes made by residents; when they do, residents from a floor/building may be billed to their student account. When using a common area, students are expected to pick up all trash and leave the area in good condition. Your cooperation in caring for the facilities will make their job easier and will create a pleasant atmosphere and help keep room and board costs low. When you clean your living space, all trash should be taken to the appropriate receptacles or dumpsters behind your building. Unwanted large items, such as boxes and carpeting, must be taken directly to the dumpster. Do not leave garbage outside your door. Do not sweep dirt into the hallways or stairwells. All residential facilities have vacuum cleaners and basic cleaning supplies available for your use. * Damage and Vandalism You are responsible for the condition of your room, apartment and/or house. (Furniture must be placed and in the same condition in the room that it was upon check-in.) The Room Inventory Form should be filled out carefully when you move in because this form is used to determine damages that occur during the year. If damage other than normal wear and tear occurs, you will be charged for repairs. The condition of public areas is the responsibility of all students. Please help maintain them by treating them with care. Although those persons doing the damage should pay for damages that occur in public areas, unassigned damages can result in community or general hall damage charges, which will be divided among students in the appropriate house/floor/wing. You can help keep your costs down by encouraging others to respect public areas and to assume responsibility for their actions. * Equipment Checkout Residents may check out equipment such as vacuums, VCR/DVD players, pool cues, and games in the five traditional residence halls with their student ID. Only the residents of that particular building may check out equipment. Equipment may not be taken off campus or to other buildings on campus. Each Area Council can set time limits for equipment use. * Extermination Residential facilities are professionally exterminated regularly. Residents should contact an Area Coordinator if there is a continuing insect problem. * Windows, Ledges, Decks, Porches or Balconies Window screens may not be unfastened or removed or else you will be fined $50. In addition, residents will be charged for screen repair and/or replacement. In some apartments you may have a deck or a porch. The following guidelines apply to these areas: Alcohol (even if you are 21) is not allowed in these areas. At no time are any objects to be thrown from these areas. Gas and/or charcoal grills are not allowed due to fire hazards- there are grills located near most residential facilities. Quiet/courtesy hours are in effect in these areas. Please be aware that noise travels far outside. College liability insurance does not cover accidents occurring from the use of windows, ledges, roofs, balconies or decks. Individuals and/or groups wishing to hang banners off these areas must obtain permission from and make arrangements through the Area Coordinator or Director of Residence Life. * Fines/Disciplinary Sanctions Fines can be assessed or discipline taken for any violation of policies listed herein or any action that jeopardizes the health, safety, or security of residents. When an incident or violation of policy occurs, an Incident Report is generally written. Area Coordinators will usually meet with involved students to obtain more information. Failure to meet with the Area Coordinator also constitutes a violation of policy. Area Coordinators serve as judicial officers for most violations by students who live in their area. Subsequent or larger infractions of campus policy can be acted on by other college officials or the Student Judicial Council. For more information about campus judicial proceedings, please refer to the Simpson College Student Handbook. * Firearms/Weapons Possession of any weapon such as, but not limited to, knives, rifles, shotguns, handguns, air guns, bb guns, and ammunition including explosives (e.g. - firecrackers), is prohibited while on College owned or controlled property. Possession of a firearm will result in College disciplinary action and/or arrest, imprisonment or fine according to state law. Please refer to the Student Handbook for details. * Furniture Simpson provides a bed, desk, desk chair, bookcase, and dresser for each resident. Each apartment and theme house is furnished with a couch, armchair, and dining table with chairs. Residence hall and Greek house lounges are furnished with couches, chairs, and other lounge items. All furniture assigned to a specific room/apartment MUST remain there for the entire year. Missing room furniture at checkout will be billed to the residents of the room. No built-in furniture may be detached from the walls or floors. No waterbeds are allowed. College-owned lounge furniture found in student rooms will result in a minimum $25 charge per item to the student(s) responsible. * Holiday/Break/Vacation Housing Residence halls and certain Greek houses are closed during Fall, Thanksgiving and Spring Break as well as between semesters. Theme Houses and apartments do not close during holiday or break periods, but students must notify Residence Life if they intend to remain on campus. Residence Life staff will enter all rooms and apartments during each break period for reasons of safety, security, and energy efficiency. Residence Life Staff will be on all-campus duty to provide for basic services, security, and care during these periods. Information about holiday housing will be sent to all residents approximately two or three weeks prior to each break period. Any student needing the ability to remain on campus must be approved by Residence Life. Students remaining on campus for reasons other than Simpson related purposes (athletics, academics, etc.) will have charges billed directly to their student account unless they are a resident of a Theme House or apartment. Students with any questions about holiday/break housing should contact the Department of Residence Life. Consult the Residence Life calendar online for dates of breaks and hall closings on the Important Dates page. * Insurance Residents are strongly encouraged to have Personal Property Insurance if not covered by your parent’s home policy. The College is not responsible for damage to or loss of personal property in the residential facilities due to fire, theft, interruption of water, heat or other utilities or other causes. Thefts, damage to property, etc., should be reported to the CA, HA, Area Coordinator, or Director of Residence Life and a report should be filed with Simpson College Security. * Laundry Facilities Each residence hall, apartment building, and Greek house has coin-operated laundry machines for your use. (Many theme houses have laundry, but the machines are not provided or maintained by the College.) Any malfunction of a College washer or dryer, or need for a refund, should be reported to the Director of Residence Life and your Residence Life staff member. Please contact the Director of Residence Life with the malfunction, machine number, and location, as well as refunds by calling 961-1562 or sending an email to reslife@simpson.edu. Dyes of any kind are not permitted in washing machines. For the convenience of other students and the safety of your property, clothes should not be left unattended. * Lofts All the beds in the residence halls are bunkable or loftable. Use of homemade or store-bought lofts is not permitted. * Loitering Loitering in the residential facilities by persons who are not residents of that area is prohibited. Guests must be accompanied by a resident host. Guests in residential facilities must be there for the specific purpose of visiting an identifiable resident. * Musical Equipment/Pianos Most of the halls have pianos that are available for your use. You are requested to respect the rights of others when using any musical instruments. Pianos or other musical instruments cannot be used after Quiet Hours. * Outside Hall Activities If your campus organization or group is planning an outdoor activity, consult with the Area Coordinator of that building(s) to make sure there are no scheduling conflicts and notice, if necessary, is given to the residents. It is important that any outdoor activity not cause unacceptable noise levels or safety problems. Any use of amplified sound must be approved by the Director of Residence Life and/or Director of Student Activities. Pets Pets are not allowed in the residential facilities, even to visit, because of health, sanitation, and noise concerns. The only exceptions are fish (in a tank less than 10 gallons) and registered guide dogs accompanying sight-impaired persons. Minimum fine is $50. In addition, a special cleaning charge of $150 is assessed to any residents who violate this policy. * Posting Policy In order to keep the halls neat and orderly, the following posting policy is in effect for the residential facilities: § All material must be cleared through the Department of Residence Life. A maximum of 45 copies may be left at the Department of Residence Life to be distributed through student staff to all residential facilities. § Painter’s tape is the only acceptable adhesive to hang materials on walls. Bulletin boards are the preferred locations for hanging all signs. Be careful when placing signs, posters, or banners on painted surfaces. § Materials cannot be posted on glass surfaces. However, activities may be advertised by painting the glass surfaces on the exterior of the residential facilities. Only tempera paint may be used. The project must be approved one week prior to the event, and the sponsor must clean the windows after the event. § Before hanging banners, etc., outside any residential building, permission should be obtained from the Director of Residence Life. § More information on posting specifics can be found in the Simpson College Student Handbook. § All advertisements must be removed within 48 hours after the event. § Any advertisement that is not posted according to the guidelines will be removed. * Private/Single/Medical Rooms Students requiring a private room for medical reasons, must submit a Medical Single application prior to March 1, each year. Medical singles granted one year does not guarantee a medical single the following year. Medical single applications must be accompanied by substantiating written documentation from a medical or mental health professional. Please speak directly to the Director of Residence Life to discuss your needs. Private rooms for non-medical need are generally not available due to space constraints. When space permits, a student may request a private room by payment of an additional fee and permission from the Director of Residence Life. The College reserves the right to consolidate private rooms should crowded conditions exist. Priority for private rooms will be given in this order: medical need, nontraditional (25 years or older) students, seniors, juniors, and sophomores. * Programming Programming in residential facilities is a comprehensive venture planned and implemented by your residence life staff and area/apartment councils. The purpose of many of the activities is to provide an opportunity for you to be exposed to knowledge, new ideas, different philosophies and thought provoking stimuli as well as provide fun social opportunities. * Proximity (Student ID) Cards & Room Combination Locks Proximity locks are located on all the primary exterior doors of all residential facilities (except theme houses which use keys). Your proximity (Student ID) card gives you access to those doors. Giving your proximity card to another individual for the purpose of accessing the housing unit constitutes a serious security risk for you and your fellow residents. There will be a $100 maintenance/disciplinary charge and subsequent disciplinary action for the student who loans their proximity card to anyone. You are expected to carry your Student ID with you at all times. Residential students may access all traditional residence halls via their proximity ID cards from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Room doors have combination locks. You will be given the combination to your room door when you check-in to your room. It is very important that a student not divulge their room door combination to others. Room door combinations are changed anytime there is a resident who moves out of the room. If a student requests to change their room door combination for other reasons, they will be charged a fee of $15. If a student is irresponsible in their use of their combo lock or giving out information regarding their combo lock, they will be subject to disciplinary action. Part of the obligation of living in a community is to help safeguard the living environment. Do not prop open exterior doors. You are advised to be security-minded at all times and contact your Residence Life staff or Office of Security whenever you have concerns or issues regarding your security. The Office of Security hires full-time and student security staff to monitor the outside of buildings as well as to provide an escort for students around campus after dark. The Security Department is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the year. Their phone is 961-1711. * Public Areas The custodial staff cleans public areas regularly in all residential facilities except Theme Houses. However, residents are expected to help keep public areas neat and orderly. Personal items should not be left in public areas at any time. Laundry should be removed promptly from laundry rooms and balcony/patio areas. At all times, hallways and stairwells must be kept free of furniture, trash and other objects. Only approved wall hangings will be permitted in hallways. Items found in the hallways and stairwells will be removed. Hallways and stairwells are common areas designed as passageways and are not for recreational activities or excessive noise. Sports, horseplay, running, screaming, or other games or activities in hallways may be disruptive to residents or harmful to the condition of the building. These activities are prohibited and violate 24-hour “Courtesy Hours”. Common areas of residential facilities may be used for programming activities. Anyone sponsoring activities in common areas must have the approval of the CA, HA, SHC, Area Coordinator, or Director of Residence Life. * Quiet Hours/Courtesy Hours Residents should observe Courtesy Hours 24 hours a day and maintain reasonable noise levels at all times. This includes keeping noise to a minimum while moving throughout the buildings and hallways, stairwells, and elevators so as not to disturb others. In order to ensure that students have the opportunity to exercise their primary rights to sleep and study in their rooms, Quiet Hours have been established for all on-campus housing. Quiet hours are from 10:00pm to 10:00am daily Sunday through Thursday and 12:00am (midnight) to 10:00am Friday and Saturday. At any time, a floor or building can decide to extend Quiet Hours with appropriate approval. Extended Quiet Hours will be posted in each area as appropriate. During Quiet Hours, noise should be limited to a level which could not possibly disturb the nearest neighbor’s attempts to sleep or study. It is suggested that you keep your room door closed during Quiet Hours. Televisions, stereos, and radios must be played at a low volume that cannot be heard outside of your room. This standard is upheld whether or not neighbors are present. Music and noise may not be projected from any residential facility to the outside at any time. (For example, speakers may not be placed in windows.) Station Square Apartments is a 24-hour Quiet Hours facility. If a resident feels that his/her primary rights to sleep or study is being violated, he/she should follow these guidelines: Step #1: Speak to the person causing the interference and politely request that the behavior be modified. Step #2: If the request does not produce satisfactory results, contact a student staff member (CA/HA) on duty for assistance. Step #3: In more extreme situations when Steps 1 and 2 have not produced satisfactory results, contact Security. Steps #1-3 should be repeated for each occasion or incident. Remember to treat others as you would like to be treated and that most often people are not trying to disturb you or your neighbors and may need occasional reminders. Twenty-four hour Quiet Hours are observed during final exams beginning midnight the Friday night prior to finals until the end of the semester. * Repairs & Maintenance All repair and maintenance needs should be reported to the Physical Plant (Campus Services). Please call 961-1622 (x1622) or email (facil@simpson.edu) to turn in a work order. Emergency repairs occurring outside the hours of operation (7am-4:30pm, Monday through Friday) should be reported to a staff member for further action. Repairs will be completed based on a campus wide priority including urgency, type of repair and date received. Unless it’s an emergency, five (5) working days should be allowed for repairs. If repairs have not been made within this time, check with your student staff member, Area Coordinator, or directly with the Physical Plant by calling 961-1622. * Room and Roommate Changes Room, roommate, or building changes can take place after the first ten (10) calendar days after the academic year begins. You should contact your Area Coordinator (AC) to will assist you in facilitating a room change. A Room Change Request form must be completed, and all moves must be approved before the change occurs. Students must follow regular check-in/check-out procedures. The phone numbers will be switched once the Department of Residence Life receives the completed Room Change Request form. Failure to follow any of the above procedures will result in the $25 improper check-in/check-out fine. Multiple room changes within a given year are discouraged. The Department of Residence Life wants students to be happy with their rooms and their roommates and does not try to block any reasonable request for a room change. * Roommate Consolidation Residents in multiple occupancy units who find themselves without roommates should actively try to find a roommate of their own choosing or else another student may be placed with you. The following options exist: § Another student may move into the room. § The remaining student may move into a different room. § The remaining student will accept other students as assigned. § The remaining student may be reassigned. § The remaining student may be charged the private room fee and continue in the same room below normal occupancy (on approval by the Director of Residence Life). The College reserves the right to consolidate all vacant spaces. * Room Inspection and Search Policy The College reserves the right to have authorized personnel enter student rooms for the purpose of determining general cleanliness of rooms, to determine the amount of damage and general misuse of College property, to remove electrical equipment or other items not in compliance with the housing contract or hall regulations, to make repairs, to decorate on a scheduled basis, to maintain the general order and security of the hall, to address suspected violations of College regulations and/or city, state, or federal laws, to respond to emergency situations and to conduct other official business. Discretion will be used at all times. Whenever possible, the room will be entered when the student is present. * Room Selection Simpson College has a Room Selection process for current first-years, sophomores, and juniors, to pick rooms for the following academic year. Applications for Theme Houses, Picken Floor Draw, Medical Singles, and Squatting are available immediately at the beginning of Spring Semester. Lottery numbers and Room Selection applications are available mid-February, and actual Room Selection takes place after Spring Break. In general, members of Greek chapters are expected to live in their chapter residence. Details about Room Selection and all residential facilities are available online on our Housing Options page. * Smoking Smoking is not allowed in any college housing. This includes all public areas, hallways, stairwells, and private rooms and baths. Students wishing to smoke may do so outside. Please be conscious and courteous so that your smoke does not bother others and you extinguish cigarette butts in an appropriate container. * Solicitation The College does not allow door-to-door solicitation of products or services in the halls. Printed material may not be distributed under a student’s door without the approval of the Department of Residence Life. The Department of Residence Life must approve fundraising activities sponsored by campus organizations if the location is in a residential facilitiy. Furthermore, student rooms are not to be used for commercial solicitation or enterprises. This policy applies to all campus organizations as well as off-campus groups or individuals. * Staff Selection Each year Residence Life hires students to serve as CAs (Community Advisors), HAs (House Assistants), SHCs (Student Hall Coordinators), and ARCs (Academic Resource Coordinators) for the following year. Basic information about our positions can be found on our staff page or our "Be on Staff!" page. Applications, deadlines, and job descriptions will be available Spring Semester. * Storage Due to limited space, storage facilities are not available for any students except international students. Residents need to keep all their furnishings in their rooms and only bring personal items that their room can accommodate. * Summer Housing Summer housing is available each year for Simpson students in one of our apartment buildings. Applications are available in March and housing assignments are made in May. The Summer 2006 rate is $14/day. However, if you work on campus 30+ hours/week and have it verified, the rate is reduced to $7/day. Students must move into their summer apartment the day after graduation, and ends the last Sunday before classes being in the fall. Summer students must move from their summer housing to their fall housing the second Saturday of August. * Telephones & Voice Mail Telephone lines with voicemail are provided in your room/apartment/house as a service. You will be assigned a phone number once you are assigned housing and that number will remain with you, regardless of room/hall changes, as long as you live in college-owned housing. You are responsible for supplying a telephone and maintaining a useable voice mailbox. Each voice mail box stores 10 messages. The College is not responsible for repairing instruments or phone jacks damaged by the room’s occupant(s) without cost. If a resident wishes to have their phone number changed due to harassing phone calls, the resident must file a report with Security. Residence Life staff or Information Services can help you set up your voicemail. College staff uses voicemail (and Simpson email) to communicate with students. Do not rely solely on your cell phone if you have one. Many campus offices will not return calls to long distance cell phone numbers, so make sure to use and maintain your campus voicemail. * Vending Machines Coin-operated vending machines containing snack foods and beverages are located on the lower floors of each traditional hall, and in some apartment buildings. Losses in vending machines should be reported to your Area Coordinator. * Visitation Policies are established for residential facilities to encourage normal visitation privileges for students and guests. Each living unit is expected to discuss or establish rules of behavior for residents and visitors which reflect acceptable standards of conduct and are supportive of the overall mission of the institution. Cohabitation (living together) and over night visitation by guests of the opposite sex is not allowed. No resident shall be obligated to give up access to use of his/her room in order to acquiesce to the visitation desires of his/her roommate(s). A student’s right to study, sleep, and exercise control over his/her personal space takes precedence over the right of others to host guests. It is the responsibility of every resident to respect the right of privacy of his/her roommate. If there are complaints from roommates or others, the resident with visitors is expected to cooperate and compromise in resolving the difficulty. The CA, HA, SHC, and/or AC will handle violations of visitation privileges and unresolved conflicts in accordance with established housing and judicial procedures. The Department of Residence Life may actively intervene if conflicts arise and cannot be resolved between roommates with respect to visitation policy. Final authority for determination and resolution of violations in this area will rest with the Director of Residence Life. * Windows, Ledges, Decks, Porches or Balconies Window screens may not be unfastened or removed or else you will be fined $50. In addition, residents will be charged for screen repair and/or replacement. In some apartments you may have a deck or a porch. The following guidelines apply to these areas: Alcohol (even if you are 21) is not allowed in these areas. At no time are any objects to be thrown from these areas. Gas and/or charcoal grills are not allowed due to fire hazards- there are grills located near most residential facilities. Quiet/courtesy hours are in effect in these areas. Please be aware that noise travels far outside. College liability insurance does not cover accidents occurring from the use of windows, ledges, roofs, balconies or decks. Individuals and/or groups wishing to hang banners off these areas must obtain permission from and make arrangements through the Area Coordinator or Director of Residence Life.
