Leash Up, Scoop Up, Be a Good Dog Parent!

We love seeing dogs around campus but being a responsible animal owner means helping keep our community safe, clean, and comfortable for everyone.

  • Keep your dog on a leash at all times when outdoors.

  • Pick up after your dog and dispose of waste properly. No one wants to step in that.

  • Keep your dog under control and be respectful of shared spaces.

  • Remember: even the friendliest dogs can make others nervous.

A little courtesy goes a long way. Help us keep campus a place for everyone by following animal policies and being a responsible dog owner. Note: Students must be approved to have an animal live in campus housing.

锘縏hanks for doing your part and giving your furry friend a great reputation!

O'Daniel North, O'Daniel South, and McDonald West Residents

Residents are responsible for regularly cleaning the filters in the PTAC units located in their bedrooms and living rooms. Clean filters help your unit run efficiently, improve airflow, and maintain a comfortable living environment. Please review the instructional videos provided for step-by-step guidance on cleaning your filters.


Important: Failure to clean PTAC filters can restrict airflow and cause the unit to operate improperly. Residents may be charged for maintenance, repairs, or damage resulting from dirty or neglected filters. Taking a few minutes to clean your filters on a regular basis can help prevent avoidable issues and keep your PTAC unit working properly throughout the year.

Holiday Decorating Guidelines

Most of us love fall and decorating for the season. Here are the rules to follow:

  • Real Pumpkins

    • Apartment residents may place real pumpkins outside of their door.

    • Residence hall students may not put pumpkins outside of their doors.

    • Once pumpkins begin to go bad please dispose of immediately in the nearest dumpster.

    • Also please be kind and do not smash pumpkins belonging to other residents.

  • Window decorations may not include profanity, illicit illegal actions, contain threatening language, prevent the opening or closing of a window, or be flammable.

  • Apartment or suite numbers may not be blocked or covered by wreaths, door coverings, lights or any other decorative element.

  • Peepholes may not be covered.

  • Fire protections and/or emergency equipment may not be covered or altered by exterior decorations.

  • Holiday or decorative lights may be used, with the following stipulations:

  • Lights may not be strung under windows or doors.

  • Only exterior outlets may be used for outside lights.

  • Lights must be UL approved for outside usage, and the label denoting such use must remain on the light strand.

  • Lights may not be strung across areas where people walk (sidewalks, balconies, stairwells, etc).

Campus Living 101

We aren't your parents, but we do have reminders.

Want to avoid surprise maintenance issues and keep your apartment or residence hall suite comfy, clean, and drama-free? Then please take a minute to check these important reminders. 


Flushable Wipes = False Advertising

Just because the package says flushable doesn't mean your toilet agrees.

DO NOT flush wipes. Ever.

Flushing wipes can:

  • Clog your toilet
  • Cause sewage backups
  • Potentially unleash some very unpleasant surprises into your room

And nobody wants their apartment or residence hall suite becoming the main character for the wrong reasons.

Take Your Trash on a Little Adventure

Trash Rules:
  • Take trash to the dumpster
  • Put trash INSIDE the dumpster
  • Get those steps in while you're at it 
Not Allowed:
  • Trash in hallways
  • Trash on balconies
  • Trash sitting beside the dumpster
  • Using green recycling bins as garbage cans

If recycling bins continue being used as trash cans, they may be removed permanently. Let's not ruin recycling for everyone.

Your Wallet Called... It Wants You to Be Careful

Quick reality check:

If you cause damage to your room, furniture, fixtures, or university property, you may be charged for repairs or replacements.

And before anyone says, "How expensive could it be?"
Spoiler alert: it's not cheap. 

Things that can result in charges include:

  • Damaged furniture
  • Broken fixtures
  • Holes in walls
  • Missing items
  • Excessive cleaning needs
  • Damage caused by improper use of facilities 

Before move-out season sneaks up on you, check out the University's list of standard housing charges.

PTAC Units Need Personal Space

(O'Daniel North, O'Daniel South, and McDonald West)
Your PTAC unit is where your heat and AC come from. When it's blocked, moisture builds up and can lead to condensation and organic growth. Translation: not cute.

PTAC Checklist
  • Furniture must be at least 18 inches away from the unit
  • Beds and couches are not blocking airflow
  • Curtains aren't hanging over the unit
  • Bedroom doors stay open when possible
  • Bathroom fan runs for 30 minutes after showers
  • Closets stay uncovered

Give your PTAC room to breathe. It's doing its best.

Don't Freeze Out Your PTAC

We know that setting the AC to Arctic Tundra sounds appealing, but your PTAC disagrees.

Avoid:
  • Running on lowest temperature for long periods
Instead:
  • Pick a comfortable temperature
  • Let the unit cycle normally

This helps prevent freezing, excess condensation, and performance issues.

Your Dehumidifier Is Your Apartment's BFF

(O'Daniel North, O'Daniel South, and McDonald West)
That little machine works hard to keep humidity under control and your apartment comfortable.

Keep it set like this:
  • ON at all times
  • PUMP mode
  • Humidity set to 40%
Please don't:
  • Turn it off

Your dehumidifier helps remove excess moisture, keeps air circulating, and makes your apartment a much happier place to live.
