RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS AT HOFSTRA 2012-2013

Welcome to Residential Programs
Hofstras Office of Residential Programs offers a variety of living environments designed to meet the diverse needs of students. Six of the residence halls are high-rise buildings; Bill of Rights offers all-female floors as an option for students on floors 6-13. Liberty and Republic are low-rises that offer traditional, corridor-style living environments that house an academic program for Honors College students, with additional honors housing located next door in Vander Poel Hall. There are also four suite-style residence halls. Stuyvesant Hall houses first-year students and is a four-story building with two common area lounges and laundry facilities on each floor. The Netherlands Complex also houses first-year students exclusively. There are seven living/learning communities offered in the Netherlands; students live together based on an interest in a common theme. This years themes include Leadership through Engagement, Advocacy and Dedication (L.E.A.D.); Well-Balanced Exploration of Life Lessons (W.E.L.L.); Pre-Health Professions (PreP); and Students Aspiring for Greatness in Entertainment (S.T.A.G.E.); Math, Science, and Engineering; STUDIO; and Presidential Politics. Colonial Square is also a suite-style complex similar to the Netherlands, consisting of 14 individual houses. Each house has approximately 16 suites; students may choose suites with or without lounges. Within Colonial Square, Jamestown and Newport Houses accommodate graduate and law students. Nassau and Suffolk are six-story buildings, each containing a common area lounge on the main floor, and are reserved exclusively for upper-class students. The Graduate Residence Hall is Hofstras newest residential facility, providing apartment-style accommodations for graduate, law and medical school students. It is located directly across from the Mack Student Center on the North Campus. Undergraduate students can apply for housing in any of the residential buildings except the Graduate Residence Hall, Jamestown and Newport houses.

Residential Programs at Hofstra 2012-2013

Check-In
On move-in day, you will be given the key to your room and an emergency contact card to complete. As you start to move in, be sure that you meet with your Resident Assistant (RA). Together, you and your RA will check your room or suite and record its condition on the Room Condition Report. Please complete this form accurately, as you will be billed for any changes in the condition of your room when you leave.
Check-Out
When a resident vacates a room, he/she must check out properly with an RA between the hours of 6 and 9 p.m. and follow proper checkout procedures: 1. Remove all personal belongings from the room. There is a minimum charge of $35 for items that are not removed. Items not removed will be discarded. The University assumes no responsibility for lost, damaged or discarded items. 2. Restore your room to its original condition. There is a minimum $50 charge for cleaning a dirty room. 3. Have an RA check your room in your presence to note any damages or repair needs on the Room Condition Report (RCR). 4. Return your key and receive a key receipt. 5. There is a $25 fee for improper check-out and a maximum charge of $200 for anyone who checks out beyond the approved departure date. 6. A minimum charge of $25 per key and a $35 core charge will be assessed for failure to turn in your key at the time of check-out.
conferences and housing. YOU MAY NOT LEAVE YOUR BELONGINGS IN YOUR ROOM OR ANY OTHER AREA OF THE RESIDENCE HALL. STUDENTS WHO DISREGARD THIS POLICY WILL BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL CHARGES, DISPOSAL OF BELONGINGS, AND/OR POSSIBLE COMMUNITY STANDARD SANCTIONS. Specifics regarding the dates of opening and closing of the residence halls are included in your assignment packet, posted in each building and placed in mailboxes. Please read these notices. You are responsible for checking in and out according to the specified procedures, especially if you vacate prior to official check-out periods.
6. Be assertive in asking for what you want or need. 7. If you need a mediator, contact your RA or RD. After you begin to get to know each other, you may be able to prevent problems by making a roommate agreement about what will and will not occur in your room. Many people have great success with informal conversations, while others like to write an actual contract. If you and your roommate think that negotiating a formal contract is a good idea, you will want to consider the following issues: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Study time in the room/apartment. Visitation and guest policy. Bathroom use schedule for suite living. Cleaning the room, suite, bathroom and/or apartment. How you will handle any problems or conflicts. Sharing of food and cost of groceries. Use of one anothers property, including , use of TV computer, etc. Space for clothes, luggage and storage.
Any conflict you may have can usually be resolved through open, honest communication and the help of your Resident Assistant/Resident Director. If this is not possible, room changes generally begin after the second week of each academic semester or as soon as our fall and spring occupancy has been confirmed. See your Resident Director for more information and the appropriate paperwork. Your Resident Director can be found in your residence hall Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., or by appointment. If you change rooms without written approval from the Office of Residential Programs, you risk both a fine and disciplinary action. It is imperative that the Office of Residential Programs be aware of your room assignment at all times. You are responsible to inquire as to the difference in room rates when switching rooms, and any additional costs will be noted on your room change form. Students accepting the room change are responsible for the difference in costs. If you are moving to a more expensive room, you will be billed automatically for the higher room rate and must settle any balance with Student Financial Services. For those residents wishing to be assigned a single room when one becomes available, residents must be on the single room waiting list. Residents may add their names to the single room waiting list by visiting the Office of Residential Programs.
Residential Programs Staff

If you have any concerns while living at Hofstra University, we have a fully trained staff available to assist you. The various staff positions are as follows: Resident Assistant Senior Resident Assistant Assistant Resident Director Resident Director We also have additional staff in the main Residential Programs Office to assist you. You are encouraged to become acquainted with your Resident Assistant, who will be able to answer your questions and make living on campus a positive experience for you.
Living With a Roommate

The key to getting to know your roommate is communication. You cannot discover who he/she is unless you talk to each other. While we hope all roommates enjoy a positive experience, it is not guaranteed that you will become best friends, nor is that necessarily expected. When roommates dont get along, it can make for a challenging year. How do you work through problems with your roommate? Here are some tips: 1. Communication is the key. Talk to each other and tell your roommate when you are upset about something she/he did. 2. Be tactful when sharing your feelings with your roommate. 3. Be a good listener. Try to see each others view. 4. Remain pleasant and control your emotions. 5. Discuss little problems as they arise to prevent them from escalating into more serious conflicts.
The Residential Programs staff is available and interested in helping you negotiate a roommate contract. Seek their assistance when needed! Failure to negotiate or abide by an agreed upon roommate contract may result in a fine and/ or judicial action. Full-time professional staff members are always available in the Office of Residential Programs to assist you with your concerns as well.
Residential Programs on Duty

In case of an emergency, contact the Office of Residential Programs. When the office is closed, there is always a Resident Director on duty for the campus. To contact the RD on duty, call Public Safety at x3-6606. In addition, each building or complex has an RA on duty. From 6 to 9 p.m., youll find the RA on duty in the RA office. Between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m., the RA on duty is in his or her room. The name and phone number of the RA on duty is posted on the RA office door in each complex.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
q Meet your RA and RD. q Attend first floor meeting. q Look for single room waiting list sign-up. q When vacating, always check out of room with RA on duty between 6 and 9 p.m. q Review Residential Living Agreement. q _____________________________ q _____________________________ q _____________________________ q _____________________________
Opening and Closing

The residence halls open the weekend before classes begin and close at noon on the day following the last scheduled undergraduate final exam. Students who have not paid their fall bill in full by the end of the fall semester must check out of their rooms by December 20, 2012. During the summer sessions, certain residence halls remain open.

Residential Policies
Hofstra University has developed policies and procedures to ensure that all contractual relationships, as well as fire, safety and maintenance standards, are upheld in the residence halls. In most instances, policies relate directly to the health and safety of residents and the condition of facilities. Since the ultimate responsibility for fulfilling these standards lies with the individual residents, all residents must read and abide by the Residential Living Agreement. A copy of the agreement is printed in this publication. If there is anything you need clarified, feel free to contact the Office of Residential Programs. A signed Residential Living Agreement is a binding obligation between the student and Hofstra University. The student is responsible for satisfying the full financial obligation of the contract in a timely manner consistent with published University payment schedules. Failure to meet the financial obligations to the University may result in the students required vacancy of their residential housing space. The student is obligated to reside in the facility stipulated in the contract and abide by the rules of conduct established for the residence hall system. Failure to do so will result in a fine and/or University sanction. In addition to these regulations, all students are required to abide by University policies and principles as set forth in the Code of Community Standards. Sanctions for breaking any of these rules range from a fine, warning or probation, to suspension from the residence halls or from the University. These policies are strictly enforced because of the ever-present threat of fire and our commitment to ensure personal health and safety. If you are banned from housing, you cannot return for any reason; if you are the roommate/suitemate of the banned student and allow him/her into the room/ suite, you can be held judicially responsible and/ or be charged for the entire room bill for the banned student. Anyone violating these policies may be subject to automatic disciplinary action under the Code of Community Standards. Listed below are the minimum fines for some of the most common residence hall infractions: Failure to comply with residence hall procedures.................................................... $100 Inappropriate use of a surge protector......... $100 Failure to evacuate during a fire alarm ........ $100 Unauthorized possession of University property........................................................ $100 Possession of bulk alcohol (per person)...... $100 Possession of a cooking appliance (per appliance) ............................................. $100
Failure to pack belongings when leaving the residence halls........................................ $100 Violation of security policy ......................... $100 Improper check-out .................. MINIMUM $25 Failure to maintain a clean environment ..... $100 Possession of an oversized refrigerator or an excessive number of refrigerators ............... $100 Possession of pets in room or suite ............. $100 Unauthorized room painting ....................... $100 Multiplug/octopus plugs.............................. $100 Tampering with window stops, safety bars, removing window warning stickers ............ $200 Writing on walls or doors ............................ $100 Excessive damage ..........REASSIGNMENT OR REMOVAL FROM HALL AND/OR FINES Failure to cooperate with maintenance schedule ....................................................... $100 Tampering with communications equipment .................................................... $100 Illegal entrance/egress to a residential unit . $100 Failure to vacate per announced deadlines ................................... MINIMUM $25 Candles (lighted or unlighted) and other fire hazards (per item) ........................ $100 Violation of quiet hours ............................... $100 In addition, consistent violation of any Residential Programs policy may result in removal from the residence halls and/or additional disciplinary action from the Dean of Students Office. All prohibited items found in any residential living environment will be confiscated by University personnel. Confiscated maintenance and safety items must be retrieved from your Resident Director on a day when you can show you will be taking the item off campus. Unclaimed items will be disposed of or donated to charity on the last day of the semester. The use of extension cords is prohibited by Nassau County fire codes.
within 10 days of the appeal. Dropping charges against suitemates/roommates rests with the discretion of the Office of Residential Programs. Should you have any questions about the proprietary appeals process, you may speak with the Associate Director of Operations for Residential Programs.
Damage and Vandalism Deposit

All resident students pay a housing deposit when they apply to live on campus. Once a student occupies a residence hall space, the housing deposit is then held for the academic year as a damage and vandalism deposit. This deposit is held in an account by the University and is credited to the students account when room inventories have been made and damages have been assessed at the end of the academic year. Costs to repair damage to the room, suite and/ or residence hall common areas will be deducted from the damage and vandalism deposit. If it should occur that the damage and vandalism deposit does not cover the damage charges incurred, the resident(s) will be responsible for the outstanding balance. Residential Programs and the custodial staff make every effort to determine the person(s) who caused the damage. If the University is unable to determine the specific individual(s) responsible, then the costs will be deducted from all residents of the room, suite, floor or building, as appropriate. It is the responsibility of each resident to remain vigilant with regard to the actions of fellow residents and guests. Should a resident observe vandalism being perpetrated, the resident should notify a Residential Programs staff member and/or contact Public Safety, so the responsible person(s) can be held accountable. At the end of the academic year, if a student has incurred any additional charges (tuition, housing, etc.), any credit from the damage and vandalism deposit will be applied toward these charges.
of Residential Programs. Excessive damage may lead to students of an area being reassigned or removed from the residence halls. To prevent a see no evil approach to damages perpetrated against University property, we must offer some incentive toward responsible action. The damage and vandalism deposit used for the repair of major damages to common areas serves to increase each students investment in the residence halls and promotes a feeling of community pride. It gives each resident the right to object actively to destructive acts by fellow students and increases the probability that the community of students will become selfmonitoring and insist on individual responsibility for behavior. This policy is our best attempt to create a system that emphasizes the importance of citizenship and active participation. We make every attempt to administer this policy as fairly as possible. Good citizenship and responsibility by all residents will remove the need to invoke this policy. All residents of the building will share costs for damage done to community areas (such as lounges, hallways, bathrooms, living rooms and plate glass), which cannot be assessed to the individual responsible for the damage. When dealing with damages to common areas, the Office of Residential Programs considers each building an individual community. Residents will share equally in the cost of repairs that cannot be ascribed to those liable for the damage. It is up to you to let the Office of Residential Programs know who has caused the damage in order to avoid everyone in your building sharing the cost.
Proprietary Appeals
Appeals of all fines must be made in writing (within 10 days) to the Associate Director of Operations for Residential Programs. If you receive a proprietary fine, specific instructions on the appeal process will be provided to you at that time. The Proprietary Appeals Committee will review the appeal and respond in writing to the student(s). When it cannot be determined who is responsible for a violation, all occupants of the room, suite or apartment will be fined the listed amount. Students assuming responsibility for the violation can do so in writing to the Associate Director of Operations for Residential Programs and have the charges against their fellow suitemates/roommates rescinded, but must do so
Community Damage Assessment

Please note that a Hofstra University union employee must fix any damage done to your residence hall room. No outside worker can be brought in, and you may not fix any damage yourself. In the event that an individual floor or other clearly delineated area of the building suffers disparate damage, the Office of Residential Programs has the option to limit the liability to the residents of that area. Itemized damage reports will be available periodically upon request in the Office

Refrigerator/Microwave
Residents may bring their own refrigerator for their residence hall room or suite. The size and number of these refrigerators are limited (one per room or two per suite) due to the electrical current they draw and the limited electrical outlets in the residence hall rooms and suites. The refrigerator must be an energy-efficient model and may not exceed five (5) cubic feet in size. Any refrigerator larger than five (5) cubic feet in a residence hall room and/or suite is a violation of Residential Programs policy. Additionally, personal microwaves are prohibited in on-campus residence hall rooms and suites. The University has made arrangements with a vendor to provide both refrigerator and refrigerator/microwave rental units at competitive prices. Residents should receive by mail specific information regarding this rental service. Otherwise, information will be posted during move in at the residence hall or at the Office of Residential Programs. Although students can purchase refrigerator/freezer units of 5.0 cubic feet or less for use in residential rooms, for safety reasons, only those refrigerator/freezer/microwave multi-units rented through a University-sanctioned vendor are permitted in residence halls.

Cooking Policy

For refunds for vending machine purchases, follow instructions posted on the front of vending machines.
Electrical Appliances Policy

Cooking is restricted to designated areas that can be cleaned and inspected regularly. The only exception to this rule is that the use of Universityapproved refrigerator/microwave units in rooms is permitted. For further clarification on possession of appliances, please review the Residential Living Agreement.

Intersession/Interim Housing
The residence halls at Hofstra University remain open during the January intersession period between the fall and spring semesters. This option is offered to all students without charge, provided that the resident student is registered for housing during the spring semester. Students are surveyed in October regarding their intentions for spring housing. If your plans change regarding spring occupancy, you must notify the Office of Residential Programs as soon as possible. If you cancel housing after December 24, 2012, and remain a registered student at the University, you will be held responsible for the costs associated with that room, until you officially check out of your room with a staff member. Students who do not intend to return to Hofstra for the spring semester must vacate their rooms at the end of the fall semester. Students who reside in the residence halls during the intersession and subsequently decide not to return for the spring semester will be charged a $200 room usage fee plus a daily rate for the number of days they remain in University housing and a $750 cancellation fee if they remain registered students at the University. Students are billed for housing up to the time they officially check out of their rooms with a Residential Programs staff member. Failure to check out with a Residential Programs staff member will result in a fine. Refunds (if applicable) will depend on the exact date of the official checkout written on the students Room Condition Report.

to do so will result in a fine and/or University sanction. Students who are asked to leave the residence hall due to non-registration status may not stay on campus as guests of current resident students. During the summer sessions, overnight guests may reside in the halls for a period of 24 hours only. Violation of this policy may result in the resident or guest being billed for the cost of summer housing. Disciplinary action may also be taken. Children under the age of 17 are not allowed to stay overnight or visit in the residence halls (unless approved by the Office of Residential Programs as part of a campuswide event).
Services for Students with Disabilities

The Off ice of Residential Programs works closely with Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) to meet the housing needs of students with disabilities. Students with documented disabilities may be assigned to rooms that meet their disability-related needs. To be considered for special housing accommodations, please contact SSD at 516-463-7075 or ssd@hofstra.edu. If an ADA-compliant room is not being occupied by a student with a disability, it can be assigned to a student without a disability with the agreement that the room may be reassigned if a student with a disability requires the space.
be aware that if one roommate moves out, the vacated half of the room will be cleaned. Because of this, it is important to note that the vacant half of the room or apartment must remain cleared of any personal belongings. If excessive cleaning is necessary, a monetary fine will be issued. Please consult with the Health and Wellness Center about the proper procedure for discarding medical waste.

Actions of Guests
You are responsible for the actions of people in your room regardless of whether you are present.
Overnight Guests
Prior to having overnight guests, please discuss your plans with your roommate(s) and suitemate(s). Although we hope that these matters can be worked out, a roommates objection to a guest overrides an individuals right to have an overnight guest. Guests of residents must be escorted whenever they are visiting the residence halls. The resident is responsible and accountable for the behavior of his or her guests. It is the responsibility of the resident to inform guests of residence hall policies and other University policies, and those guests are expected to abide by these policies and standards. Guests of residents may remain overnight for no longer than three consecutive nights per semester. Unauthorized persons who occupy housing for longer than three nights may be charged the full cost of the room. In addition, the host may lose his or her visitation rights or residential status and/or be subject to disciplinary action and/or receive a fine. The right of a student to live in reasonable privacy takes precedence over the right of a roommate/ suitemate to entertain guests. In determining when guests should be invited to the room, apartment or suite, common sense and mutual respect must prevail. All guests must be registered at the building security booth. All overnight guests must sign in with the RSR each time they enter and egress the building. Failure
Custodial Services
The University employs staff whose responsibility is to clean public areas, including lobbies, lounges, floor bathrooms and kitchens. Bathrooms in the high-rises and hallways are cleaned each weekday. However, maintaining cleanliness in the residence halls is a full-time job for residents as well as custodial staff. To make the job easier, please wrap all trash in bags before you throw it away in the large receptacles in the public areas. This is especially necessary with food. While custodial staff members clean the high-rise bathrooms on weekdays, they have only a limited amount of time to do so. Please clean up after yourself so they will have more time to devote to the major work of cleaning the facilities. Instead of leaving toiletries in the bathroom, keep these items in your room along with towels, pots, pans, etc. A major problem is created when students leave dirty dishes in the bathroom sinks. Such items will be disposed of, and a $25-$100 charge will be imposed on the entire floor. Suite bathrooms are cleaned two times per year. Residents in suites are required to remove all their items from the bathroom countertop and shower stall, and allow the cleaning staff to enter. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in a proprietary fine of $100 for each student sharing the suite. In addition, when a student vacates a room, a custodial team will enter the room to clean the space. Students living in double rooms should
Room Consolidation
The University will exercise a consolidation policy when vacancies occur in any residence hall. The University reserves the option to either fill the vacancy or to make every attempt to find the remaining occupant(s) of the vacated room a like accommodation (e.g., double to double, triple to triple, quad to quad, suite to suite, or apartment to apartment).

Fire Safety Policies

Hofstra University policies relating to fire safety are in accordance with New York state law and Nassau County ordinances. Our primary concern is the safety and well-being of the members of our community and as such, new policies have been created and existing policies have been modified to ensure that Hofstra University provides a safe environment and is in compliance with all New York State Fire Codes and those of the Nassau County Fire Marshals Office. Students must comply with the specific policies listed below, as well as all other policies listed in The Living Factor, Hofstra Universitys guide to residential living. In addition, as per the current New York State Fire Code (NYSFC), information and training related to fire safety must be presented annually to all students enrolled in higher education. Any violation of these guidelines is also considered a violation of the Code of Community Standards. 1. Door Chocking (Propping) A door leading out to a main hallway (common area), used as fire and/or smoke door, should not be chocked (propped) open, blocked or obstructed to prevent the normal self-closing operation of said door. [ref; NYSFC F-703.2] 2. Electric Wall Outlets All electric cords from devices must be plugged directly into a wall outlet or an approved surge protector strip. All surge protector strips must be plugged directly into the wall outlet. No extension cords are permitted in residence halls. Furniture should not obstruct a wall outlet as to prevent an electrical plug from being removed easily from the outlet (without first moving the furniture). [ref; NYSFC F-605.5]
3. Items Suspended From Ceilings and Walls No items shall be suspended from the ceiling or within 24 of the ceiling as to obstruct or cover lighting, smoke detectors and/or sprinkler heads. [ref; NYSFC - 901.6 and 805.1 and 315.2.1] No decorative, holiday or theme lighting shall be placed/hung on or around doors or windows. 4. Decorations No tapestries or fabric items (including flags) shall be placed on the ceilings or walls of any room. Wall coverings may include pictures and posters, but may not exceed 50 percent of total wall space. Tapestries and/or fabric items (including doormats) shall not be placed in common areas. [ref; NYSFC 304.1] No window curtains or valances are permitted to be hung in rooms/suites/ apartments. 5. Natural Cut Trees No natural cut trees of any sort shall be erected in the common or living space of any residence hall [ref; NYSFC 804.1.1] All students must comply fully with all fire safety regulations. Violations may result in monetary, educational, and/or conduct sanctions. 6. Candles/Incense No candles (including those used for decoration only), incense or anything that burns are permitted in residence halls. 7. Smoking Hofstra University is a smoke-free environment. There is no smoking or lighting of smoking-type products in any residence hall/room or facility on the Hofstra University campus. 8. Malicious Damage/False Alarms The alteration and/or destruction of fire safety equipment affects the safety of all members of the Hofstra community. Malicious damage to any fire safety equipment, including fire extinguishers, exit signs, fire doors, and emergency lighting, and/or the activation of a fire pull station (when the threat of fire is not present), is a crime, is not tolerated at Hofstra University and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. All students must comply fully with all Hofstra University fire safety regulations. Violations may result in monetary, educational, and/or conduct sanctions. 9. Refrigerators/Microwaves Residents may bring their own refrigerator for their residence hall room or suite. The size and number of these refrigerators are limited (one per room or two per suite) due to the electrical current they draw and the limited electrical outlets in the residence hall rooms and suites. The refrigerator must be an energy-efficient model and may not exceed five (5) cubic feet in size. Any refrigerator larger than five (5) cubic feet in a residence hall room and/or suite is a violation of Residential Programs policy. Additionally, personal microwaves are prohibited in oncampus residence hall rooms and suites. The University has made arrangements with a vendor to provide both refrigerator and refrigerator/microwave rental units at competitive prices. Residents should receive by mail specific information regarding this rental service. Otherwise, information will be posted during movein at the residence hall or at the Office of Residential Programs. Although students can purchase refrigerator/ freezer units of 5.0 cubic feet or less for use in residential rooms, for safety reasons, only those refrigerator/freezer/ microwave multi-units rented through a Universitysanctioned vendor are permitted in on-campus residence halls.
10. Electrical Appliances Policy Due to safety issues, the following items are prohibited in the residence halls: hot plates, electrical skillets, toaster ovens, toasters, hot oil popcorn poppers, halogen lights, sun lamps, electric heaters, refrigerators larger than five cubic feet, microwaves, electric grills, deep fryers, coffee makers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, multiple outlets, extension cords and any other appliances deemed by the Office of Residential Programs as being inappropriate for residence hall use.

Cooking Policy There is a $100 fine, per appliance, for possession of prohibited cooking and/or electrical appliances in the residence halls. Any additional violation of this policy is grounds for further disciplinary action and/or fines. There are various food and beverage vending machines located in the lobbies or lounges of the residence halls. Report malfunctioning kitchen appliances or vending machines to the resident assistant. For refunds for vending machine purchases, follow instructions posted on the front of the machines. All students must comply fully with all Hofstra University fire safety regulations. Violations may result in monetary, educational, and/or judicial sanctions.
Fire Alarm Procedures

New York state law requires that all residents participate in annual fire safety training. All residents must vacate their building when the fire alarm is activated. We insist on strict compliance with this rule. When you hear the fire alarm, immediately vacate the building following these procedures: 1. Dont panic! Stay calm. 2. If your door feels hot, place a wet towel under it and DO NOT OPEN IT. Instead, open your window. While you await rescue, make your presence known by waving something from your window. 3. Take your keys, HofsraCard, wallet and other essential belongings with you. 4. Close your windows. 5. Close your door. 6. If the hallway is filled with smoke, crouch down as low as possible (smoke rises) and hug the wall. Walls eventually lead to doors. 7. Use the stairs only; elevators turn into chimneys when there is a fire. 8. Move away from the building. Do not return to the building until instructed to do so by Public Safety or a residence hall staff member. 9. Find your RA or the RA on duty for the purpose of letting someone know you have safely evacuated the building. Failure to evacuate will result in a $100 fine or judicial action.

Residence Hall Room Security and Responsibility

Take precautions to keep your room/suite secure by locking the door, not giving the keys to others in your absence and keeping the keys in a safe place. Whether or not a student is present in his or her room, he or she is responsible for whatever takes place and is accountable for any violations that may occur in the room if the student does not follow proper room security procedures.
Posting Policy
Posting of fliers without approval of the Office of Residential Programs or posting of fliers by persons other than Residential Programs staff is a violation of the posting policy. Students or groups wishing to post fliers in the residence halls must obtain a copy of the posting policy at the Office of Residential Programs, 244 Mack Student Center.
Keys
Public Safety
Public Safety is located at the David S. Mack Public Safety and Information Center. In addition to overseeing parking and providing emergency medical transportation, Public Safety maintains 24-hour patrols in and around the residence halls. Any emergency situation, crime or suspicious behavior should be reported to Public Safety and your RA for action or follow-up. EMERGENCY NUMBER .............................x3-6789 CONTROL ROOM (non-emergency) ...........x3-6606 Another function of Public Safety is to regulate admittance to campus. All campus gates other than the main entrances (Hempstead Turnpike and Oak Street) are locked for security reasons from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The Oak Street gate is open for pedestrian traffic and vehicle traffic entering campus. However, drivers must exit via the south gate on Hempstead Turnpike. Entrance to campus during the times the gates are closed is strictly limited to residents and their guests.
Residents must not lend or otherwise permit others to use their keys or HofstraCard at any time. If you misplace your keys, contact Public Safety to gain access to your room. If, after gaining access to your room, you are still unable to locate your key, file a lost or stolen key report with Public Safety to request a lock change. The locksmith will leave a note on your door, and you can pick up a new key from your Resident Director or the RA on duty. You will be billed a minimum of $35 per cylinder change and $25 per key. No refunds will be made if you find your key after the lock has been changed. Please note that you must present your HofstraCard in order to be keyed into your room. Also, it may take Public Safety some time to respond to your call. Therefore, it is very important for the security of your room and fellow residents that you are careful with your keys. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR KEY IN YOUR MAILBOX.
Policy on Doors and Windows

The propping of any residence hall entrance door by any means so that it will not close and lock securely is prohibited due to security and fire/safety reasons. Any student, resident and/or guest observed propping or causing the latching mechanism not to close and lock securely will be referred for judicial action and is subject to any related fines and/or charges. Additionally, propping of residence hall room/suite doors with automatic door closures is prohibited. These penalties also apply to anyone found throwing objects from windows, which is also strictly prohibited in the residence halls.
Public Safety Booth

Each high-rise building and residence complex has a 24-hour Public Safety booth. The Resident Safety Representatives (RSRs) who staff the booths are specifically trained to help you and to enforce the security policy for your living area. Please cooperate and always swipe your HofstraCard when entering the residence halls. Building stickers are provided for your HofstraCard through the Office of HofstraCard Services and Residential Programs. This sticker ensures that you will be allowed access to your building if the card access system (swipe reader) is not operational.
Services when obtaining a replacement card. For a nonresident, a current photo-type student ID card, a drivers license or a military ID card is acceptable. The mechanics of the process are as follows: 1. Each resident must swipe his or her valid HofstraCard in order to enter the residence hall. NOTE: Resident students who do not have ID upon entering a residence hall will be issued a summons for violation of Hofstra University Identification Policy. Resident students are not permitted to piggy-back into the building on another residents card swipe. VIOLATION OF UNIVERSITY ID POLICY SANCTIONS: First summons: Warning Second summons: $25 fine Third summons: $50 fine Fourth summons: Referral to the Dean of Students Office 2. A visiting student is one who resides in one residence hall and is visiting a student in a different hall. He/she must show his/her HofstraCard to the Resident Safety Representative (RSR) on duty. The ID is retained at the booth, the visiting student is signed in by the RSR on a visitors sheet and is allowed entry. The ID is returned to the student when he/she exits the building. If the visiting student cannot be identified as a resident student because there is no color-coded housing sticker on the ID, he/she will be treated as a guest (see #3 below). 3. Anyone who does not live on campus must show a photo-type ID and must be announced to the resident host who must give permission to enter. NOTE: If the resident host is not in or does not answer the phone, the guest is not allowed into the building. If the guest is permitted to enter, his/her ID is retained at the booth and the guest is signed in by the RSR on a visitors sheet before entering. The ID is returned to the guest when he/she exits the building. REMEMBER THAT FROM THE MOMENT YOUR GUEST ENTERS THE RESIDENCE HALL, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OR HER ACTIONS. VIOLATIONS WILL BE REFERRED THROUGH THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY STANDARDS, AND YOUR GUEST MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE CAMPUS IMMEDIATELY. If you have any questions, please call the Department of Public Safety at x3-6606.
thereafter. If checks or credit cards are lost or stolen, notify your bank or credit card company immediately. Hofstra is not responsible for reimbursing for theft or losses. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain their own personal insurance coverage (such as renters insurance).
Parking
All residents who plan to use University parking facilities to park their vehicle must register the vehicle with the Department of Public Safety; a parking decal will be issued without charge. Students may park only in areas designated for student parking, and only between lines that outline the parking space. Public Safety officers issue violations for parking in reserved or restricted spaces. Failure to pay the parking violation will result in the towing of the vehicle at the violators expense. It may also affect your ability to register for classes. All appeals regarding the University parking policy must be directed to the Dean of Students Office within 10 days of issuance of the ticket. Appeal letters may be obtained from 243 Mack Student Center. The University does not assume any responsibility or liability for a vehicle parked in any University parking facility. For additional information on campus vehicle regulations, please call the Department of Public Safety at x3-6606.

Solicitation Policy
The conducting of an enterprise for personal profit is prohibited in or around University-operated living units. Residential networks and computer services may not be used for solicitation. Door-to-door solicitation for any purpose is prohibited. Parties that are hosted for the purpose of selling merchandise are prohibited in the residence hall lounges and/or the residence hall rooms.

Violation of this policy may result in judicial action.
Security Policy for Residents and Guests

There is a sign-in procedure at the Public Safety booth of each building and complex. Any resident may have guests (up to four per ID), provided that he or she follows the security policy. Residents should not permit access to the residence halls by nonresidents who are not their personal guests and should not condone others doing so. All persons entering a residence hall, both residents and nonresidents, must present acceptable identification before being admitted into the building. The only acceptable form of identification for a Hofstra resident student is a current and valid Hofstra University student ID card (HofstraCard) with a color-coded housing sticker affixed to it. All resident students must obtain their color-coded housing sticker at the beginning of the semester from their RA or from HofstraCard
Losses and Thefts

Hofstra University MISSING STUDENT POLICY

(Resident Students)
It is the policy of the Office of Residential Programs at Hofstra University to investigate any report of a missing student living in one of the Universitys residence halls. All students residing in a campus residence hall are requested to complete a Confidential Contact Information form, available upon check-in to their residence hall. The resident student is asked to identify the name and contact number of the individual(s) to be contacted in the event the student is determined to be missing, as set forth below. This contact information will be registered confidentially and may not be disclosed, except to law enforcement personnel in furtherance of a missing person investigation and authorized Hofstra University officials, including Public Safety officers. Hofstra understands that students may make arrangements to stay outside of the residential halls, and as such, the location of students in the halls is not monitored by Residential Assistants or other University staff. If a student intends to leave his or her residence hall for an extended period of time, the student is strongly encouraged to advise the residence hall staff before leaving, to avoid the student being reported missing. If, however, there is reason to believe a resident student is missing, all reasonable efforts will be made to locate the student to determine his or her state of health and well-being. These efforts, which are done in conjunction with the Department of Public Safety, include, but are not limited to, checking the students room, speaking with friends and/or roommates, checking ID access, locating the resident students vehicle and calling the students cell phone number or other known contact information. Where a student has been missing for 24 hours, students, employees, or other individuals should make a report to the Office of Residential Programs, the Dean of Students Office, or the Department of Public Safety. All missing student reports will be referred immediately to the Department of Public Safety. If upon investigation by the Department of Public Safety, the resident student is determined missing, staff from Public Safety and/or Student Affairs will contact the residents designated Confidential Contact within 24 hours. For any resident student under the age of 18, Hofstra will notify a custodial parent or guardian, in addition to any other individual designated on the Confidential Contact Information form, within 24 hours after the time the resident student is determined to be missing by the Department of Public Safety. Public Safety will continue to investigate, utilizing established investigative procedures in collaboration with staff from Residential Programs, other campus offices and local law enforcement agencies. Where a Confidential Contact cannot be located or has not been assigned, Public Safety will inform the appropriate law enforcement agency and/or make contact with the students parents or legal guardian. In all cases where the Department of Public Safety determines that a student is missing, Public Safety will notify the appropriate law enforcement agency within 24 hours of that determination.

Study Abroad
Studying abroad is exciting, fun, and educational. Much of the enjoyment and value of the experience comes from learning to adapt to a new environment. Living in another country leads to a better understanding of other cultures and broadens ones perspective on the world. Studying abroad can also enable you to enroll in courses that you might not otherwise consider taking, increase your proficiency in a foreign language, and of course, visit important historical and other sites of interest. A carefully chosen study abroad program or international internship can contribute not only to academic and personal growth but also to career goals as well. At Hofstra University, we take pride in the diverse selection of available study abroad programs and internships and can find an appropriate program for each interested student. Undergraduate students can choose from a number of January or summer programs developed by Hofstra faculty members. Information about these programs can be obtained by contacting the coordinator of Study Abroad Programs for HCLAS (300 Calkins Hall, phone: 516-463-4765); the Deans Office of the School of Education, or the Deans Office of the School of Communication.

RESIDENTIAL LIVING AGREEMENT 2012-2013

Notice: Please read carefully all the provisions of this agreement before signing and submitting the Student Housing Application; you will be legally bound by these provisions. This AGREEMENT is entered into by Hofstra University (the University), through its Office of Residential Programs, and the student signing this agreement. Please refer to our website at: Hofstra.Edu/uglivingagreement for the most up to date version of this Agreement. 1. Acceptance of this agreement by the student and the University shall constitute the granting by the University to the student of the right to use certain residence hall space subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth and to the students continued attendance in good standing as a properly registered full-time student at the University. The University reserves the sole and exclusive right to terminate this agreement in accordance with the rules set forth below and the policies of the University. 2. The Residential Living Agreement is a one-year contractual arrangement between the University and the student. The agreement provides for student use of residence hall space for both the fall and spring semesters. Any student who leaves the residence halls at any time after taking occupancy of the room will be charged a $750 cancellation fee and will forfeit his or her housing deposit. This cancellation fee may be waived with prior written approval for reasons that include but are not limited to graduation, study abroad, student teaching, military service, official University withdrawal, or official leave of absence. In addition, students may incur charges for the January Session if they maintain occupancy of the room during that session. 3. The $300 deposit, which is required with the Student Housing Application, will be held as a residence hall breakage deposit and is not deducted from the housing bill. If the student for any reason fails to accept a housing assignment or fails to remain in the residence hall for the full time period covered by the agreement, the $300 deposit will be forfeited. The $300 deposit will NOT be refunded due to failure to receive a specific type of housing. The deposit will be released only upon receipt of a request in writing postmarked on or before May 1 for the fall semester and on or before January 1 for the spring semester. No deposit will be released after the May 1 and January 1 dates, regardless of when the student applies for housing. Once a student occupies a residence hall space, the $300 housing deposit is then held for the academic year as a damage and vandalism deposit. This deposit is held in an account by the University and is credited to the students account if there has been no damage to the room or common areas when room inventories are performed and damages are assessed at the end of the academic year. 4. Students who withdraw from housing are entitled to a prorated refund of housing charges through the sixth week of the semester, subject to the cancellation fee described in Paragraph 2 of this agreement and in University refund policies. No refunds will be given for housing charges after the sixth week of the semester. Students who withdraw from housing must complete a housing withdrawal form, which is available in the Resident Assistant Office of their building, return the room key, and complete the checkout procedures before any refund will be authorized. Residence hall fees are nonrefundable after taking occupancy of the room. 5. All room and board charges are payable by semester in accordance with the due dates established on invoices sent to the student. In all cases, the student is required to pay the charges due for that semester before being admitted to the residence halls, unless the University Office of Student Financial Services agrees to other arrangements. Unless the invoice is paid in full by the due date, the University reserves the right to void the agreement and reassign the accommodation, while retaining all prepayments. Students who apply for housing after the start of the fall or spring semester will have their room costs prorated and must pay housing charges for the semester before being admitted to the residence halls. 6. The Office of Residential Programs has the sole right to determine the occupancy and configuration of any room. The Office of Residential Programs has the sole right to make or change assignments in the University residence halls. No unauthorized persons are permitted to reside in the University residence halls except in accordance with the guest policies established for the University residence halls. 7. When the student is assigned a space in the residence hall prior to the beginning of a semester or as a continuing resident for the following semester, he/she must check in no later than the first day of classes, unless prior to the first day of classes he/she furnishes written notice to the Office of Residential Programs of good cause for the late arrival. If a student does not check in by the first day of classes and does not notify the Office of Residential Programs of the late arrival, the Office of Residential Programs may cancel the residence hall assignment. 8. When vacancies occur in any residence hall, the University reserves the option to either fill the vacancy or, if a double, triple, or quadruple room, to require the remaining occupant(s) of the vacated room to occupy a like accommodation or accept an additional charge. 9. In the event that, in the opinion of the University, any portion of the residence halls requires investigation, repair or temporary closing for health and safety reasons, the student(s) occupying that portion of the residence halls may be required to vacate the area. In the event that other residence hall space is available, comparable space will be offered to such student(s). If appropriate, the University in its sole discretion may adjust housing charges in such situations. 10. Residential Programs and authorized University personnel may enter a students room at any time for inspection, cleaning, inventory, maintenance, repairs, and in the event of building evacuations or emergencies. A students room may also be entered and searched if there are reasonable grounds to believe that a crime or infraction of Residential Programs regulations is being committed. 11. The student is absolutely responsible for all damage or loss that is done to his/her living/study area or any furnishings therein. Vandalism may result in reassignment or termination of this agreement. Each student is jointly responsible (with the other residents) for damages and may be charged a prorated share of the cost of whatever damages may occur, from any cause, to the public and semipublic areas of the residence hall. In all cases, the University assessment is conclusive. The student must also surrender the room key and complete the checkout procedure upon completion of the agreement period(s) to fulfill provisions of this agreement. 12. The University and its officers, employees, and agents assume no responsibility for the loss, damage, or destruction of personal property kept or stored in the residence halls. During vacation periods, the student shall remove all valuables from the residence halls and may be required to remove all property between the fall and spring semesters. 13. The University may provide a room in one of the residence halls, and board, if available, on an optional extra-fee basis for students during periods not covered by this agreement or after a students last date of attendance. Students electing this option may be required to move to another residence hall, or other University facility, for this period. 14. Dining plans are available for all resident students. Firstyear students are required to purchase one of a specified number of dining plans as a condition of residency. Required dining plans are set forth in The Living Factor: Student Calendar and Guide to Residential Programs, Policies and Procedures (The Living Factor). 15. The following rules shall apply at all times in all areas of the residence halls: a. No pets except for fish in filtered tanks. b. No cooking appliances of any kind, including but not limited to broilers, hot plates, hot pots, popcorn poppers, microwaves, electric heaters, or immersion coils.

Failure to comply with a University official regulation may result in judicial action being taken. 16. The room assigned by this agreement will not be available for occupancy prior to the date set by the Office of Residential Programs and published prior to the beginning of the academic year. The room must be vacated and left in good order no later than the date published by the Office of Residential Programs in a separate notice issued prior to the end of the semester or by 9 p.m. on the last day of the semester or 24 hours after the students last final, whichever is sooner. Students who are permitted to arrive prior to the start of their academic program, and who subsequently cancel their housing assignment prior to the first week of the semester, will be subject to a daily charge for their room, to any cancellation fees as outlined in Paragraph 2 of this agreement, and to forfeiture of all residence hall fees and deposits. 17. If a student is withdrawn from the University for any reason, including lack of attendance, or the student officially withdraws him or herself, the students Residential Living Agreement is immediately terminated and he/she must vacate the residence hall and surrender his/her HofstraCard. Students who withdraw from housing must complete a housing withdrawal form, which is available in the Resident Assistant Office of their building, return the room key, and complete the checkout procedures before any refund will be authorized. If the student fails to comply with these conditions, the student will be considered to be continuously using the residence hall space until the procedures are satisfied and will be held liable and billed on a prorated basis for use of the residence hall beyond his/her last date of attendance. Refunds are authorized only in accordance with the policies outlined in The Living Factor. 18. If a student is reassigned to a room other than the room to which he or she was originally assigned, all the terms of this agreement remain in effect and, where applicable, the student will be charged or refunded the prorated difference between the prevailing rates for the original and reassigned rooms. 19. This agreement may be terminated at any time at the sole and exclusive prerogative of the University. 20. Upon acceptance of this agreement, it is understood and agreed, should the student be in default of any of the terms and conditions hereof or in the event of a termination of the agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, the University shall have the right to remove the student from the residence halls by summary proceedings or by other legal process, and in the event of such proceedings, both the University and the student waive trial by jury, and the student agrees that he/she will not assert any defense, setoff, or counterclaim against the University. The University reserves the right to summarily ban from the residence halls or reassign housing for any student charged with a violation of the Code of Community Standards. If a student is removed from the residence halls for judicial reasons, he/she forfeits the right to a refund of his/her housing charges and housing deposit. It is further understood and agreed that the student may not assign his/her residence hall space to or allow any portion of the residence hall premises to be occupied by any other person. Any attempted assignment or occupying of such space shall be null and void and shall automatically terminate this agreement, and the student may be required to vacate the premises forthwith. 21. The student is required to abide by all residence hall rules and regulations and fire safety guidelines as set forth in this Residential Living Agreement, as well as in The Living Factor and Code of Community Standards, which are incorporated by reference in this Residential Living Agreement, and by any future amendments to these rules, regulations, and guidelines.
