Staying On Campus During Break

Students may remain on campus for all or any part of Spring Break. The residence halls are open. Students' card access is limited to only their hall and/or suite.

Safety Tips

The best advice in terms of personal safety for current campus residents who choose to remain in their current room assignment during Spring Break, is to use "common sense" while in and around the residence halls and on campus. Other tips include:

• Keeping individual rooms locked and key(s) and identification card in one's possession at all times.
• Closing all exterior doors when entering or exiting. Never prop doors or let others prop doors.
• Calling University Police, extension 911, if unusual behavior by strangers is observed or any person unauthorized is in the residence hall.
• Making it a priority to know who the other residents are in the residence hall during the break period.
• Never walking alone on campus.
• Calling University Police at 758.5591 if one becomes locked out of one's room.
  

Guests or friends may be entertained during the break, but no parties or activities are permitted. ALL LEASE LOUNGES ARE CLOSED.

Dining Services

Many of the Wake Forest Dining Service's facilities are either closed or have limited operation hours during the Spring Break period. Please contact Dining Services at extension 5607 for additional information.

Break Closing Checklist

Residents who will be away for all or any significant portion of the break should follow the steps listed below:

• Remove all trash and recyclables by 7pm on Friday, March 7, 2008 to avoid fines.
• Take all valuables (i.e., computers, books, money, medications, clothing, etc.) that may be needed during the break. This will also be a precaution against theft or damage.
• Close and lock all windows and room door. Key(s) and identification card should not be left in resident's room.
• Remove any items that may be blocking or have been placed on or near the air conditioner/heater unit.
• Clean all Common Area Refrigerators and remove all personal items in these refrigerators.
• Unplug all electrical appliances (including MicroFridge® units, fish tanks, surge protectors, alarm clocks, and computers) from wall outlets.
• Leave fan coil units on and set to 70°.
• Personal property should be moved off the floor. This could avoid loss or damage if there is an unforeseen facility issue.
• Store all food in closed containers. Remove perishables.
• Take bicycles home or store them in residence hall rooms (no motorized bikes are allowed in the residence halls).
• Pull blinds down if room is on a ground floor or faces a balcony. Leave blinds up if room is on an upper floor and does not face a balcony. Turn off lights and lock room door.

All rooms will be inspected regardless if the student remains on campus during the break period. To avoid improper check out and/or housekeeping charges, students must comply with each item on the above check list.

Entry and Room Inspection Policy

The University and Residence Life and Housing Staff will enter and inspect or perform work requests in all student rooms during the break period. Administrative action, billing and/or judicial referral may result if unauthorized items or unsafe or unclean conditions are found. All staff are expected to report the presence or evidence of pets, weapons, firecrackers, illegal substances, lounge furnishings, fuel or other prohibited items (see the Guide to Community Living).
