Security of the Residence Halls
Office of Residence Life and College policies are in place to attempt to create a safe and secure environment. To contribute to this environment, the residential communities are locked twenty-four hours a day. Resident Advisors and Campus Safety staff members also make periodic rounds of the residence halls. However, final responsibility for safety rests ultimately with each individual. The following are precautionary measures that are highly recommended: Lock your room door and windows whenever you leave the room. Do not prop open any outside residence hall doors. Immediately report any suspicious persons or activities to the Office of Residence Life staff and/or Campus Safety.
Health and Safety Inspections
In order to prevent students from unwittingly contributing to health and safety hazards, a member of the College’s staff will conduct basic health and safety inspections of each residential room at least once during the academic year. In recognition of the staff time commitment required for these inspections, they are often conducted during College vacation periods. When violations occur, residents will be notified in writing and provided a specific time frame to correct or address the alleged violation. Items found to be in violation of College policy will be confiscated by an Office of Residence Life staff member and/or Campus Safety and held until the student returns. Illegal items will be confiscated and discarded appropriately. If during any of the inspections mentioned above, violations of the Student Code of Conduct are found, appropriate judicial procedures may be initiated. Basic health and safety concerns are not addressed only at inspection time. Students are responsible for the safety and cleanliness of their living environment throughout the entire year. Staff has the responsibility to confront students about health and safety issues as they are observed.
Identification Cards (IDs)
Students are expected to carry their Cazenovia College-issued identification card (ID) at all times and surrender it upon request by College agents or employees acting in the performance of their duties.
College IDs permit access to the residence hall in which the resident lives. Therefore, IDs should never be loaned to other students.
In the event a Cazenovia College student loses his or her College ID, he or she can obtain a replacement at Campus Services. The cost of a new ID is $25.00.
Responsibility for Personal Property
It is the responsibility of students to safeguard their possessions by always locking their doors when leaving their rooms.
The College can accept no responsibility for the theft, loss or damage by fire or otherwise of money, valuables, computers or any personal property of the student in the student’s residence hall or any other residence hall where they may have belongings. Students are urged to purchase their own insurance to cover such losses. Since family Home Owner’s Insurance Policies sometimes provide coverage for the personal property of a family member away at school, students are also encouraged to check with their family’s insurance agent.
Room Keys
Students are expected to carry their keys and their College-issued ID at all times. To help insure proper security for students and their belongings, residence hall doors are locked twenty-four hours a day. Students are strongly encouraged to lock their room door at all times to promote personal safety.
Keys are not to be loaned to anyone but the individual to which the key was issued under any circumstances.
Lost Keys
Lost keys must be reported to the Resident Advisor or the professional staff member on duty immediately. A Lost Key Form must be signed by a professional staff member and submitted by the student to Campus Services to obtain a new key. If the room key is lost during the term of occupancy, a lock-replacement charge of $50.00 will be made and a key replacement fee of $25.00 will also be incurred. These charges may be placed upon the student’s account.
Upon departure from the residence hall, room keys must be returned to a Resident Advisor or the Office of Residence Life. Failure to do so will subject the resident(s) to a lock-replacement charge of $50.00. Room keys may not be duplicated.
Lockouts
Students who find themselves locked out of their room should contact the On-Duty Resident Advisor during the evening hours or a Resident Advisor which resides in their residence hall or an Office of Residence Life staff member during daytime hours.
If a student incurs more than two lockouts, the student will be charged $75.00 for the replacement of the lock and key with the assumption that they have lost their key.
Students taking advantage of this system or who demonstrate an unwillingness or inability to be responsible in their use of their keys may be subject to disciplinary action.
