Fire Extinguishers

Fire extinguishers are provided in each apartment. The fire extinguisher must be easy to access. If a resident utilizes the fire extinguisher, they must request a replacement by contacting the front desk staff at no cost. In case of a fire or an emergency, residents are to immediately call 911. All fires must be reported to the front desk or on the after-hours duty phone.   
Residents must adhere to the following protocol regarding university-provided fire extinguishers:

  • The fire extinguisher must be in a location that is easy to access.
  • If a fire extinguisher is used, occupants must report the use and request a replacement within the next business day. This can be done by contacting the front desk staff, and a replacement fire extinguisher will be provided at no cost.
  • If a fire or emergency has occurred, call 911 immediately for assistance regardless of size or damage. After calling 911, report the incident to the front desk or the after-hours duty phone as soon as possible.

Personal Property Liability 

The University does not cover personal possessions that are lost, damaged, and/or destroyed by accident, theft, or other means while residing in or making use of University premises. Residents are strongly encouraged to purchase renters’ insurance.  Where applicable, a resident’s family’s homeowner policy may provide full or partial coverage.  Contact your family insurance company for additional information.   

Cleaning Responsibilities 

The resident is responsible for maintaining the apartment in a clean and sanitary fashion. This responsibility includes the interior of the apartment and the outside area surrounding the apartment. Residents are asked to maintain appropriate standards of housekeeping and cleanliness for the benefit of the community, as determined by Housing & Dining Services / CSU staff. The apartment and furnishings should be kept in a clean and sanitary condition so as not to cause pest, safety, or other health concerns.
