Student Handbook 2018

Laundry Facilities All of our Residence Halls have a laundry room that offers full-size washers and dryers. Residential students pay a set fee at registration to use the laundry facilities. Therefore, the laundry machines do not require coins for operation. The washers and dryers in the residence hall laundry rooms are to be used exclusively by the residents of each respective residence hall. Clothes that are left in the laundry room for longer than 2 hours will be taken to the RAOffice so that other students can use the laundry facilities and to protect from theft. If a machine is found to be out of order, please contact the RD or RA in your building. Bluestone Common Apartments provide a washer and dryer for each apartment unit. Students are expected to report anydamage/issues to their RD/RA. Liability The College recognizes that certain activities voluntarily engaged in by students, such as informal athletics contests, jogging, running, sledding, skate boarding, walking on the nature trail, and other activities, have some measure of risk involved for the participants. Students and guests who engage in such activities assume the risk of injury or property damage which may result. The College is not responsible or liable for injuries or property damage incurred by students or their guests participating in these and similar activities. Lounges The lounges in the residence halls function as an area for relaxing, watching television, scheduled activities, and studying.
