Entry Into Resident Student Rooms

Entry to Resident Rooms

Authorized university personnel may enter residential spaces without notice for the following reasons:

• Maintenance and housekeeping purposes
• Health and safety inspections
• Inspection for damage
• Break closing inspections
• Other situations that are deemed an emergency

The university also reserves the right to enter residential spaces if there is a reasonable cause to believe that a violation of university policies and procedures is taking place.

• If there is some specific reason to suspect that a criminal offense has taken place or that evidence of such an offense may be secured in a room, university officials will enter the room only with a resident's permission or pursuant to a warrant.
• If in the course of any entry, illegal or restricted materials are found in plain view, they will be removed and the affected resident(s) will be notified of the confiscation and may be referred to the Office of Community Standards.
