Residents of Miner Village are provided furnished units and are responsible for the proper care and condition of all
furnished items. Residents are required to report furniture damage to the Residence Life Office immediately upon
recognition. Furniture may not be re-arranged, removed, or stacked in any way that would endanger the safety of
residents. University furniture may not be transferred or exchanged between units or public areas. When a resident
checks out of the unit, the same furniture provided at check in must be in the unit and in good condition.

When in operation, heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems in Miner Village are designed to operate at
maximum efficiency with all windows closed. If heating and cooling systems are not in use, residents are allowed to
open the windows in the units. Residents are not permitted to use windows for purposes of entering or exiting a unit.

authorized through the Residence Life Office. Residents will be held accountable for missing screens and are required to notify the Department of Residence Life when a screen is noticed missing.

checked regularly by Residence Life staff during the Health, Fire and Life Safety Inspection. The staff will check each detector, the sprinkler system, and visually scan the room for other fire hazards (I.e. overloaded circuits, etc) If you suspect a problem with your smoke detector or sprinkler system, contact the office or an RLA immediately.
