When appropriate and practical, Housing & Dining Facilities staff will enter a student’s room only when scheduled (often via electronic work order system or a standard cleaning schedule). If the student would like to be present when this work is complete, the student should include this request in their work order submission and include days and times they are available. The University reserves the right to enter student rooms for the purpose of inspecting the premises for adherence to fire- and life-safety guidelines, housekeeping, maintenance, necessary repair, or when an authorized agent has reasonable suspicion of a violation of contract that includes: a) an occupant of the room may be physically harmed or endangered; b) damage is being done to University property; or c) University policy is not being adhered to as stated in the University’s General Catalog and the Residence Hall Policies & Procedures. University Police may enter a student room under the following conditions:
- With a warrant for the arrest of a resident of the room, or with a search warrant for the room itself.
- With the consent or invitation of the resident(s) of the room.
- To accompany residence hall staff to protect their safety and that of the residents.
- To continue an arrest which began outside the room.
- When there is any reasonable ground to believe that the resident is in danger of bodily injury or is endangering someone else within the room.
