CABLE TV SERVICE
Cable service is available in all student rooms and Apartments (one outlet per room/Apartment) through the Media Technology/Cable Office. The technology fee covers the price of "Classic Cable Service" (over 60 channels). No sign up is necessary, all jacks will be active upon student arrival. Additional service for converters and premium channels is available through COMCAST (326-3384). Students are to bring their own cable for the television.

At least one lounge in each hall is equipped with cable hookup and a television. To report cable service problems or for information contact Media Services.

CUSTODIAL SERVICES
The cleanliness of the residence halls is very important and custodial staff work diligently to insure that facilities are well kept and clean. During regular semesters, custodial staff maintain bathrooms and common areas in Residence Halls. Cleaning is done on a regular schedule which is posted on each floor. Residence Hall residents are responsible for the cleaning of their own rooms.  In the Apartments and Commons, cleaning of all areas is the sole responsibility of the residents.

Questions or concerns about the custodial services in a Residence Hall or Apartment can be directed to the RA, House Manager or SLC for the floor/building, the Office of Residential Life or the Buildings & Grounds Department.


HEAT

During the winter/heating season a temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit is established as the minimum comfort reading to be maintained in residence hall rooms, classrooms, offices and administrative spaces. The College will make every effort possible to keep heating temperatures no lower than 68 degrees.

For non-emergency heating issues a "Student Work Request" form must be completed in Web-Advisor. Buildings and Grounds staff will record room temperature and corrective action will be taken if temperatures do not meet College standards. Please note it is important to keep all furniture/other items at least eight (8) inches from heaters/radiators so proper air flow is achieved to maintain room temperature, keep windows fully closed when the heat is on, and dress appropriately for the season/temperature.


IDENTIFICATION CARDS
Each student is issued a photo ID. This card is used for keyless access to Residence Halls and College Dining Services utilizes this ID for dining hall entry, charges to the student account in the Campus Store, Jazzman's and JP's.  Lost or stolen cards should be reported immediately to the Office of Safety and Security.

LOCKOUTS
Students who are locked out of a residence hall/room must contact Office of Safety and Security to be admitted.


MAIL SERVICE

Resident students are assigned a mailbox with a combination lock for the mailroom area in Wertz Hall.

MAINTENANCE
The College provides maintenance and repair services throughout the residence halls and Apartments. Residents who have a maintenance request or other concern regarding the physical upkeep of a room/apartment, must complete an "Student Work Request for Maintenance/Repairs" through WebAdvisor.
