Policies

Conference groups must abide by all University and residence hall policies as well as the terms and conditions of the Conference Housing Contract. A published list of policies will be given to the conference contact.

Room Keys
For security reasons, the room keys are coded with a key code, rather than a room number. Each person will be issued a key, with a spare kept in the hall office. If a key is lost, or a person is locked out of their room, please contact the Residence Life Coordinator, or a conference assistant. The replacement cost of a lost key is $45 per room (the $45 fee will apply if 1 or both keys of the same room are lost). Please return the keychain, access card and key upon check out.

Access Cards
Building security is maintained by an electronic access card-reader system. The access card that is issued to you will grant access to the building 24 hours a day. The doors will remain locked 24 hours a day. The outside security doors are equipped with door alarms that will sound if the door is propped for longer than 45 seconds. Please carry your access card with you at all times and do not let persons unknown to you enter the hall.

Pets
Pets are not allowed in/around the residence halls.

Alcohol/Drugs
Only conference participants 21 years of age or older may consume and/or possess alcohol in the privacy of their room. Alcohol possession and/or consumption is not permitted in public areas, in compliance with the State and Federal law. Our halls are substance free from tobacco, alcohol and illegal substances.

Laundry Facilities
Laundry facilities are located in or near all halls. Please ask at the front desk for the location in your hall. Machines are coin operated, and it is $1.00 to wash and $1.00 to dry.

Fire Alarm/Emergency Situations
If the fire alarm is sounding, please be prompt in evacuating the building. The hall staff will address the alarm/fire. For any emergency situation, contact LSU PD at 911. Please do not exit through labeled alarm doors unless there is an emergency situation.
Do not tamper with the fire alarm equipment under any circumstances.

Vending Machines
Vending machines are located in each hall, please ask the front desk for an exact location within your hall. If you purchased a Tiger Express Card it may be used on most vending machines.

Security
Residence Hall security is a shared responsibility. Always lock your door and carry your keys. Do not unlock or prop open exit doors. Report suspicious persons to the front desk. Avoid going out alone at night and always carry an ID and emergency numbers with you. Guests of conference participants must be registered at the front desk. Conference participants will be held responsible for the conduct of their guests.

Trash
Numerous trash cans are located in the hallway for your use. We encourage all guests to use these trash cans, instead of a room can, as these are emptied daily.

Work Requests
For any room or public area that has a maintenance need, please contact the front desk. We will work to get the problem fixed immediately with the least amount of disturbance to you.


Damages
The residence hall conference staff completes room inventories for each room before a camp arrives and after it departs. Any damages found in rooms or public areas after the camp departs will be charged to the camp. The Department of Residential Life encourages each camp's staff to inform participants in the beginning of their camp about respecting the residence hall property and how to avoid damage charges. For any questions about damages, camp staff should contact the Residence Life Coordinator in charge of their camp.

Posting of Signs and Banners
Signs or banners are not permitted to be displayed from residence hall windows and entrance doors. Signs and banners are not to be posted on painted surfaces. Signs and banners that are appropriate and directly related to conference activities may be displayed in designated areas upon approval by the Residence Life Coordinator. You may only use adhesive that will not remove paint from the walls/doors.

Throwing Objects From Window
For the safety of others, throwing objects from the windows is strictly prohibited. Conference guests are responsible for personal injuries, property damage, or cleaning charges that result from this action. Opening or leaning out of a window is not permitted. Persons are not permitted on window ledges. For your personal safety, access to roofs or ledge areas is prohibited.

Furniture
All furniture assigned to guest rooms must remian in the rooms and in its oribinal setup. Do not remove or recolate furniture from room or floor lounges or any other public areas.

Consideration for Others
We know that summer camps are a time for fun. Noise often indicates that the participants are enjoying themselves, but, noise levels and camp activities should reflect consideration of others. This is a university environment and classes are in session. Spirit sessions and rowdy playing are inappropriate around classrooms and residence halls. We encourage all groups to remind their participants that their actions affect others. To make the summer experience as enjoyable as possible, we ask that everyone respect those around them.


Disorderly Conduct
Behavior that is disruptive to orderly community living is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, throwing items in the hallways, bouncing balls on floor hallways, pranks, or any other behavior that may cause physical injury or is potentially dangerous to the health and well-being of conference guests.
