Grounds

University apartment community grounds are maintained by the Facilities Services Department.   

In some areas, there are flowerbeds in front of apartments. Only flowers and non-edible plants are allowed in the flowerbeds. Residents are responsible for maintaining their own flowerbeds.  Personal plantings that become overgrown, interfere with walkways, or in any other way are disruptive to the community, as determined by Housing & Dining Services/CSU, may be trimmed, removed, or otherwise addressed at the discretion of Housing & Dining Services staff  

A preventative maintenance treatment is used on lawns, trees, and bushes. Residents will be notified of any chemical treatment applied to the grounds. Information regarding the type of chemical used is available in apartment complex offices.  

Motorized vehicles are not allowed on the grass or sidewalk areas of any of the complexes.   

Do not climb the trees or play in planted areas. Charges will be assessed to residents who damage or destroy shrubbery, trees, grass, etc. 

Laundry Facilities

Community laundry facilities are for the exclusive use of apartment residents. Instructions regarding the use of machines, repairs, and refunds are posted in every laundry room. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult in the laundry rooms.  

Parking

Parking permits may be obtained online from the CSU Transportation office. Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit the Parking and Transportation Services website for additional permit information.

Parking permits allow permit holders to park in the designated parking lot only. Under no circumstances may a motorcycle or scooter be parked inside an apartment, on a porch, or on sidewalks. Find more information about parking a scooter and motorcycle on campus here. 

Vehicles may not be driven on sidewalks or grass areas under any circumstances. Any damage to sprinklers or turf will be charged to the resident.

All vehicles parked in apartment complex lots must be operable and must display a current license plate. All others will be towed at the owner’s expense. Only limited or emergency vehicle maintenance is permitted in all apartment complex parking lots. Oil and grease are not permitted on the street, parking areas, or overflow parking lots.

The following guidelines must be observed:

Mail Areas

Mail for each apartment is delivered to a central mail area by the U.S. Postal Service. Keys to open the assigned mailbox are issued at check-in. University Housing staff cannot access the mail rooms. If a resident has changed their address, they should inform those who send them mail of the change of address, and also complete a forwarding address form with the United States Postal Service.  

In Aggie Village Family and University Village, packages should be delivered directly to the resident’s door by the delivery personnel. In Aggie Village and I-House, packages are delivered to the front desk. All packages and mail are to be addressed to the resident’s preferred name on file and include their full address.   

Trash & Recycling Containers

Large commercial dumpsters and recycling bins are provided in parking lots for the disposal of all trash and recyclables. All trash and recyclables must be placed in the designated dumpsters or bins. Non-soluble materials such as disposable diapers and sanitary napkins should be placed in the dumpsters, not disposed of in the toilet. Trash, trash containers, and recyclables must be kept inside the apartment and emptied regularly. Trash left outside is a health hazard and attracts insects and rodents.  

Disposal of hazardous wastes such as oil, tires, batteries, anti-freeze, and similar waste in commercial dumpsters is prohibited.  

A blue recycling bin has been placed in each apartment. Use the bin to collect recyclable items and transport them to the large recycling bins located by the dumpster. All cardboard boxes must be broken down/folded before being placed in recycling bins.  Recycling is encouraged in the apartment communities. Please do not store the recycling bin outside the apartment, and do not use it as a trash can.
