Hall Dues:  Each Residence Hall Council (RHC) charges voluntary hall dues which are paid by students in the hall at the beginning of the year.  Students who have paid dues may use items owned by the hall council (recreational equipment, cooking utensils, VCRs/DVD's, etc.) and attend activities provided by their hall council.

Keys:  Keys are issued upon check-in at no charge and must be returned whenever the student’s housing contract is terminated or a change of rooms takes place.  Lost keys must be reported to hall staff who will submit a service request to replace the key(s).  A fee will be assessed for re-coring the room door lock and/or replacing lost keys.
