Welcome to University
Housing!
University Housing and
Conference Services welcomes you to
Rutgers, The State University of New
Jersey.
Hardenbergh Hall on the
College Avenue Campus is available for
summer session students who choose to
live on-campus while attending summer
session classes.
These Guidelines describe the
facilities, policies, procedures, and
services that we hope will be of assistance
and interest to you. Please read the
information thoroughly and feel free to
call your the housing office with any
questions.
YOUR HOUSING
AGREEMENT/CONTRACT
Your housing agreement is a
contract for the space you will occupy in
Hardenbergh Hall during the summer
session. Under the agreement, you agree
to established policies, procedures, and
rules concerning the operation of the
residence hall. The provisions are
detailed, in this guide. Should changes
occur that affect your agreement,
information will be disseminated.
Students who violate the
provisions of the housing agreement, or
are found guilty of violating college or
university standards of conduct, are
subject to university disciplinary action
as well as the loss of on-campus housing
privileges, monetary assessment for

Some students will need to move from
one room to another during the summer
session. If you desire to relocate, within
Hardenbergh Hall, a “room transfer

Housing Office in Clothier Hall. ALL
transfers must be completed in this
manner in order to avoid assessment of
penalty charges and/or disciplinary action
for illegal transfer.

from the university after the session has
begun, you must withdraw from university
housing as well. You must personally
come into the housing office, and submit
correspondence in writing as well as
return your housing key. You are
obligated to return your keys; billing
may continue until your keys are
returned to your housing office.
Refunds/Rebates
Refunds for housing are based on the
date that you return your keys. By
complying with the procedure for proper
return of your keys, you avoid incurring
charges for a lock charge, which is $60.00
and additional rental time. Contact the
Clothier housing office promptly to
arrange for withdrawal.

Release from your housing agreement
(contract) during the summer session is
granted only in extreme situations when
your ability to complete the terms of the
agreement becomes impossible, as
determined by Housing.

obtained from the housing office or
from Risk Management.
Leave valuable items at home and
check to determine if your family’s
homeowner insurance covers your
personal property while you are attending
college. Record serial numbers, model
numbers, and similar identifying
information from your radio, television,
wristwatch, computer or other items of
value.
Keep money and valuables in a secure
place. Do not keep excessive amounts of
cash in your room. Keep your room
door locked at all times. If you should
lose your room key, please come
immediately to the Housing Office to be
issued a new key. A fee of $60.00 will be
billed to you. Your roommate must also
come to pick up a new key.
Record the card numbers as well as the
issuers and phone numbers of all of your
credit cards and bank accounts. This
information will facilitate notification
should your cards be lost or stolen.
Room Condition and Inventory
Your residence space is furnished
with furniture designed expressly for this
type of use and for the area in which it is
placed. The care of your residence
space and furniture becomes your
responsibility upon occupancy.
Your room, should be left “move-in
clean” when you move-out. When
moving out, remove all of your personal
belongings and any trash You may be
charged for any damage, vandalism, and
/or if excessive cleaning is required.
Moving Furniture
You should be comfortable in your
room and you may rearrange the furniture
to your liking. However, when you leave,
you must leave the room set up as it was
when you first occupied it. Do not
dismantle furniture or remove doors from
closets; misuse of these items could result
in injury, damage, and additional charges
to you. Do not place furniture where it
will obstruct passage out of your room, in
front of a heating/cooling unit, or into the
hallway. With the exception of bunk beds
and lofts designed for that purpose,
stacking or propping beds may create a
potential hazard to you and your
roommates and is not allowed. Common
area furniture may not be appropriated for
use within rooms or apartments. You will
be fined for violations.
Personal Property
The University and Housing are not
responsible for your personal property.
In particular, they are not liable for
damages to your property caused by
vandalism, malicious mischief, negligence
of other residents, and/or water and steam
damage from ruptures or discharges of
pipes, appliances, plumbing, and sewers.
We strongly recommend that you
acquire tenants’ insurance to cover
your valuables and belongings.
Information about Personal
Property Protection Insurance to
protect your personal items can be
Room Cleaning
We encourage you to keep your
residence space reasonably neat and clean.
For carpeted areas, you may borrow a
vacuum cleaner through your residence
life staff member, building custodian, or
the Housing Office. Be especially careful
with snack items. Spilled food, crumbs,
and open food containers can attract
insects and rodents.
Extermination services are provided
every Wednesday. You must contact the
Housing Office in order to have your
room added to the extermination list.
Common Area Cleaning
The Housing staff cleans bathrooms,
lounges, corridors, stairwells, elevators,
and similar common areas within the
residence halls regularly. We appreciate
your cooperation in putting trash in the
containers provided and recyclables -aluminum, glass, steel cans, plastic, and
paper -- in designated containers.
Cleaning up after yourself and after social
events maintains a desirable environment
for all residents and guests. Please be
considerate of fellow students and the
Housing staff in your building.
Repair and Maintenance
University Housing has its own
maintenance staff assigned to each
residence area to correct most normal
malfunctions in residence facilities within
48 hours. More complex repairs may take
longer. Your patience is appreciated.
Contact the Housing Office if you have
any maintenance problems.
When requesting a repair, the
more specific you can be about the
location, nature, and urgency of the
problem, the easier it will be to identify
the appropriate repair personnel to correct
it; e.g., “the top hinge has come away on
the sixth floor low-side bathroom entry
door” is clearer than “broken door”. The
housing office offers voice-mail to record
your non-emergency requests after hours.
Emergency Repairs (such as a burst
pipe, major water leak, electrical short, or
broken lock) occurring after 4:30 pm and
at any time on weekends or holidays, that
cannot wait until the next service day,
should be reported to the Emergency
Night Response staff at 732-558-0734.
Provide your name, telephone number,
residence hall or apartment name, room
number, and the nature of the emergency.
Removal of Property
Rutgers is not able to store student
belongings since our facilities are used
year-round. Student property may not be
left in residence halls or apartments once
residency is terminated for any reason. At
the end of the summer session, student
property not claimed and removed by the
Friday after the summer session ends will
be donated to local charities or
discarded.
Access to University Property
We respect your right to privacy and
will not interrupt it unless an emergency
warrants. Designated university officials
have the right to enter any university or
8
university-related premises. This right
includes, but is not limited to, providing
custodial, maintenance, and repair
services and inspecting for fire and
safety violations, damages, and
cleanliness. Reasonable effort will be
made to notify you at least 24 hours
before inspections for damage and
cleanliness. Inspections for fire and safety
violations are made without notice.
Assignment of Vacancies
When a vacancy becomes available in
your room, you should anticipate
assignment of another student at any time.
A resident may not discourage
another student from using such a vacancy
through harassment, abuse, noise, or
similar reasons. A student doing so may
face reassignment or removal from
housing.
Damage to University Property
Damage and vandalism are costly and
we would like to enlist your aid in their
prevention. Be careful that methods used
to hang posters and decorations do not
damage surfaces; tacks and tape damage
walls. Be aware of prohibited items listed
in this booklet. If you inadvertently or
intentionally cause damage in your room,
you must pay for repair or replacement. If
damage occurs in common areas, i.e.,
lounges, bathrooms, corridors,
elevators, etc., you can avoid personal
expense if the individual(s) causing the
damage are identified and made
responsible for their actions. Otherwise,
all residents of a building, or part thereof,
must contribute to the repair and/or
replacement. Damages, such as littering
and defacement, to the common areas
around your living area, such as lawns and
sidewalks, may add to charges assessed to
students living in that location.
Elevators are particularly costly to
repair and proper use is strongly urged.
Fire extinguishers, smoke and
heat detectors, fire alarm bells, and pull
stations are critical to life safety and
should never be damaged, vandalized, or
misused. State and Federal laws provide
for stiff penalties for abuse of these items.
Alcoholic Beverages
The serving and/or consumption of
alcoholic beverages on university
property, including your room or
apartment must be in full compliance with
university, local, state, and federal laws
and regulations.
Any student found to be acutely
intoxicated will be evaluated by
Emergency Services for possible hospital
treatment. Any student requiring hospital
treatment will be subsequently evaluated
by the Alcohol and Other Drug Assistance
Program and must comply with any
mandated education or treatment to
remain eligible for Housing.
Keys, Access Cards, and Lockouts
Your key and access card, should be
safeguarded. There is a $ 60.00 charge
for the loss of a key and lock changes
when keys are not returned in accordance
with instructions. When you return the
key, a receipt will be provided. Keys are
the property of the university and may not
be duplicated. If you are accidentally
locked out of your room, contact a
residence life staff member to gain entry.
If there are no residence life staff
members available you may come to the
housing office and pick up a temp key that
you may borrow for 1 hour and for the fee
of $5.00.
Smoking is prohibited in all buildings
owned and managed by the university,
including gymnasiums, stadiums, playing
fields, and other recreational areas and in
all university vehicles. Smoking is
prohibited in Hardenbergh Hall.
Recycling -We must comply with
recycling laws adopted by the State of
New Jersey. Collection containers for
glass, aluminum, steel cans, plastic, and
paper are provided to assist in separating
recyclables in residence halls and some
apartment facilities. Exterior dumpsters
for recycling are also provided. All
collection containers are marked.
No pets or laboratory animals of
any kind are permitted in residence
halls or apartments. Violators may be
asked to leave university housing and
assume financial responsibility for
extermination costs, if required. Students
who have lab animals for experimental
purposes should make arrangements to
keep these animals in the lab. Seeing eye
dogs are excluded from these
requirements.
Upon complaint by a member of the
university community or other interested
person, University Police shall be
authorized to investigate and, impound, or
have impounded, the pet without
obligation to the pet owner.
If any animal is or appears to be a
stray, or if the owner cannot be found or
determined upon investigation by
University Police, the animal will be
impounded.
Solicitations in University Residence
Halls and Apartments
No door-to-door soliciting or
canvassing is allowed in residence halls or
apartments. University-recognized
student groups may request permission to
have a table for solicitation in the main
lobby of a building by contacting the
residence life staff of the appropriate
college. Public area solicitation is
prohibited without explicit permission and
instructions from the residence life staff.
Residents should report violations to the
residence life staff.
Weights and Weight Lifting
You may store and/or use weights
only in areas officially designated as
weight rooms. Hall staff members will
direct you to facilities on campus.
Weight lifting is not permitted in
student rooms.
Refrigerators and MicroFridges
For your convenience, Rutgers
University provides MicroFridge units
that are a combination of refrigerator,
freezer, and microwave. MicroFridge is
the only combination food
storage/cooking appliance approved for
use in our residence halls.
All residence halls and suites are
equipped with MicroFridge units. The
rental for these units is automatically
included in the housing fee.
If anything goes wrong with a
MicroFridge during the year, Housing will
replace the broken unit. Damages not
considered normal use will be the
responsibility of the renter(s) and will be
billed accordingly. All MicroFridges,
must be cleaned out before moving out of
your room.
Bicycles are a handy means of
transportation. You should always lock
your bike in racks provided near most
classroom buildings and secure it in rooms
provided for that purpose in some
residence facilities. A “U” lock is
recommended. Bicycles may not be left
in stairwells, corridors, and other areas,
where safe passage may be hindered.
You should register your bicycle with
Parking and Transportation Services, 26
Mine St., College Avenue Campus. All
bikes must be removed at the session.

LIVING TOGETHER
ON CAMPUS
University living arrangements
represent a significant change in lifestyle.
Some personal adjustment may be
necessary. If you make a reasonable
effort to be considerate and understanding,
you should make the adjustment in a short
period of time. Naturally, serious or
recurrent problems should be referred to a
residence life staff member serving your
facility.
Illness or Injury
Should you or your roommate become
ill or injured, a Residence Life staff
member can assist and arrange
transportation to a health center or, in
more serious cases, a local hospital. They
will also assist in notifying family
members or university personnel if the
situation warrants.
Infectious Disease Policy
In the event a resident is identified as
having potentially contracted a contagious
disease, which may adversely affect
his/her roommate(s) or others in the
housing unit, the resident shall agree to
submit to a medical evaluation at the
Rutgers Student Health Service. In the
event it is medically determined that the
occupants of a residence hall are at risk of
an infection, the contagious/infected
resident shall be required to leave the
residence until such time he/she can
present evidence from a physician that
he/she is no longer contagious. Failure to
submit to the required medical
examination and/or leave the residence
shall be cause to be denied housing
privileges. The decision of the Rutgers
Student Health Services in regard to
contagion shall be final.
Guests
Guests are permitted. However,
residents are responsible for the
behavior of their guests. A student may
not permit visitors to use housing facilities
for any period of time if it becomes a
source of complaint by his or her
roommate(s), other residents, or university
staff, or when its use becomes, through
duration or frequency, a de facto
subcontracting of space to an unauthorized
person. Violation of the guest policy may
result in judicial action and/or termination
of the resident's room agreement and
removal of the guest from housing.
Specific Residence Rules
Students are expected to know
residential rules and college policies.
Students should see a Residence Life staff
member for any questions about policies.
Each residence area may adopt specific
rules that establish quiet hours for
studying, hours of visitation, limits on
alcohol use, and similar restrictions. As a
member of the group, you have a voice in
the establishment of such rules, and
consequently are expected to abide by
them. Most residence halls have
established minimum quiet hours from
midnight to 8:00 AM, Sunday through
Thursday. Each residence facility and/or
college has its own judicial board. The
boards hear testimony from students
charged with violating residence policies.
Housing and Residence Life have the right
to reassign and/or cancel housing
contracts.
Communications
As a resident, you should keep
yourself informed about changes to
policies and procedures, events, and
deadlines by regularly checking your email and the bulletin boards in your
building as well as reading the newspaper.
The following methods are used to aid in
the dissemination of information:
•
Memos announcing events, important
dates, and similar information are
placed on bulletin boards in residence
facilities.
•
Flyers are distributed to each room
by housing personnel to
communicate information to each
resident.
•
Flyers and/or bulletins are sent
through campus post office boxes.
•
Members of the residence life staff
disseminate reminders and
announcements at hall and floor
meetings. Bulletin board materials
should be submitted to the residence
counselor or other staff member for
posting. Nothing should be posted
on doors, windows, or the exterior of
buildings. Materials improperly
posted will be removed.

FIRE PREVENTION
AND SAFETY
University Housing and Conferences,
the Department of Residence Life, and the
Department of Emergency Services have
established guidelines for the purpose of
maintaining a safe living environment.
We need your cooperation in
complying with both the common sense
rules of safety and the specific rules
established by the University.
Fire and Life safety codes
change periodically. Occasionally the
information contained in this guide,
although revised annually, may not reflect
current code changes. However, the most
up-to-date and official residence hall fire
safety regulations and a comprehensive
list of violations and penalties are
available electronically through the
Emergency Services website:
http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~emergsvc/
Safety Information and Equipment
Fire extinguishers, smoke and heat
detectors, fire alarm bells or horns, and
pull stations are located throughout each
building. This equipment is critical to
life safety and should be used only in
emergency situations.
Be aware of the location of fire
extinguishers, fire alarm pull stations, and
emergency exit routes from your room so
11
that you may act promptly in an
emergency.
In the event of an actual fire,
evacuate the building immediately. Pull
the fire alarm if not already sounding and,
once evacuation has begun, call
University Police at 911. Because of the
importance of fire safety equipment,
individuals who misuse or tamper with
it face immediate expulsion from
housing and disciplinary action under
the student code of conduct, as well as
possible fines and prosecution.
Smoke Detectors
ALL residence hall sleeping rooms are
provided with local-sounding smoke
detectors for your safety. RUPD will
evaluate these devices for proper
operation. The small red light on the
detector should blink every 2-5 seconds.
If the blinking is not observed, contact
RUPD non-emergency number
immediately at 732-932-7211.
Emergency Evacuation Drills
When an emergency evacuation drill
is conducted, you are requested to follow
emergency procedures and staff
instructions. ALL occupants of buildings,
or portions of buildings, where fire alarms
are sounding must evacuate immediately.
Residents who do not evacuate are subject
to disciplinary action as well a $100 fine
and prosecution.
Prohibited Items in halls/apartments/
suites:
•

of candles in university housing
rooms for religious purposes is
prohibited due to the fire hazard.
Alternative appliances, electrically
powered, exist to permit the resident
to observe religious holidays, without
creating a fire hazard.
Posters and decorations with
combined coverage of more than
one-third of available wall space or
on the ceiling. ALL flammable and
combustible liquids. This includes
art supplies such as thinners, etc.

television masts or aerials or any
other device mounted on the exterior
of a building.
Electrical wiring that is “homemade”
or otherwise modified or transformed
creating a fire or shock hazard.
Extension cords exceeding six (6)
feet. ALL extension cords must be
maintained exposed in plain view.
Cords may not be run under rugs,
closet doors, or secured to building
surfaces or furniture.
Lofts, liquid-filled beds, or any other
structures
Painting walls or murals.
Light dimmers, ceiling fans, or any
other device that replaces, adds to, or
interferes with any building
apparatus.
Combustible or plastic lampshades or
light fixture covers.
Torchiere-style lamps with halogen
bulbs. Desk lamps with halogen
bulbs are allowed. Torchiere-style
lamps with incandescent bulbs are
allowed.
Devices, which overload electrical
receptacles (more than three
appliances per outlet or multiple-plug
adapters or power strips with more
than two cords attached). Fused,
multi-outlet surge protectors
commonly used for protection of
personal computers are permitted.
However, multi-outlet surge
protectors may not be plugged into
an existing power strip (piggy-
•
backing), nor shall more than one (1)
fused, multi-outlet surge protector be
plugged into a building wall outlet.
Surge protectors or power strips
without built-in fuses are not
permitted.
Traffic and road signs observed in
residence hall rooms or apartments
will be reported to the campus
University Police Department.
Students in possession of traffic and
road signs are subject to prosecution.
Approved Items
Only hot pots meeting the following
specification are permitted in university
housing. Units purporting to be
“automatic” have failed and caused fires
here and at other colleges and universities.
In order to be approved for use in
residence halls and apartments, a hot pot
or electric kettle must automatically shut
itself off if the fluid boils off or if the pot
is emptied. Usually, this type of pot does
not contain a conventional heating
element, but rather the water completes an
electrical circuit between two conductors,
which sustains the heating process.
Further, approved hot pots must be
capable of accepting only water. Units
capable of heating soup, etc. are not
approved. When in doubt, fire inspectors
will conduct the following field test to
determine compliance. The empty unit
will be plugged into a power source and
turned “on.” If the interior of the
appliance heats up, the device fails the
field test. When purchasing a hot pot for
use in a university residence hall or
apartment, first read the precautionary
messages. If the appliance or package
states, “do not operate when empty,” the
unit is not approved. UL-listed popcorn
poppers are permitted.
High-Rise Fire Alarm System
As part of an extensive Life Safety
program, high-rise residence hall building
fire alarm systems have been replaced,
and automatic sprinklers added, to provide
a sophisticated state-of-the-art fire
protection and life safety system. Since
the design and operation of these systems
depart from the familiar “evacuate the
entire building" practice, students have
felt the alarms were not operating
properly. The confusion results from the
special operation of a high-rise system, as
compared to that found in a "low-rise"
structure.
12
When a high-rise building fire
alarm system operates, it functions as
follows:
1. Audible alarms, consisting of a prerecorded evacuation message and a
siren sound will activate on the floor
where the alarm originated, the floor
above, the floor below, and within
the elevator cars and exit stairways.
Signals are not designed to sound on
all floors; this operation is structured
to limit the number of people in the
stairways to enable safe movement.
The flashing strobe lights will
operate on all floors, however.
2. The elevator cars will return to the
first floor, where the doors open and
remain in that position for fire
department use.
3. The stairway pressurization system
operates automatically upon
activation of the fire alarm system.
The purpose of this system is to
prevent the migration of smoke into
the exit stairs, thus ensuring a safe
and secure exit.
4. The smoke exhaust system engages
on the three floors where the alarm
signals are sounding. The purpose of
this system is to evacuate any smoke
from the corridors, to assist persons
exiting, and to aid with the operations
of the fire department.
5. From within the fire command
center, located on the first floor, the
fire department has complete control
over all building emergency systems.
The commander may selectively
cause the evacuation signals to sound
on additional floors, may provide
verbal directions or information
through use of the public address
function of the alarm system, may
control the elevators and emergency
power generator, and may selectively
control the smoke control systems.
If the fire alarm system should
activate, you should evacuate only if the
signals are sounding on your floor.
Experience gained from high-rise building
fires resulted in the modern systems in use
today. Evacuation of an entire building is
contrary to recognized practice and creates
greater life hazards.
Please be assured that this type
of fire alarm system does not compromise
your safety. If you would like further
information, you are urged to speak with
the Fire Inspector during the semiannual
test, during the unannounced fire safety
inspection, or by calling the Fire Safety
Division offices at 732/445-5325.
Fire Sprinkler Systems
Hardenbergh Hall is equipped with
automatic fire sprinklers in the halls and
dorm rooms. Sprinklers are designed to
activate individually to suppress fires
while in the incipient stages. Although
fire sprinklers are a life safety system,
they should not be relied upon as the
ultimate life saving system; residents must
immediately evacuate the building
whenever the fire alarm system activates,
as smoke detectors will warn of fire long
before sprinklers will activate. Most fire
casualties are the result of smoke
inhalation, not thermal burns.
It is a violation of New Jersey
fire safety regulations to hang items from
sprinkler heads, sprinkler pipe, and other
fire detection or suppression equipment.
Residents found in violation of this
regulation will be cited and fined.
Inspections
It is the responsibility of the university
to provide for the safety of all persons
living in Hardenbergh is enforced through
unannounced inspections conducted by
university staff members. Enforcement of
state and university fire safety regulations
is the responsibility of the Department of
Emergency Services. University fire
inspectors are state-certified fire officials
with full authority to enforce the
provisions of the New Jersey State
Uniform Fire Code and established
university fire safety regulations.
University fire inspectors are obligated to
inspect all university buildings, including
every residence hall room and apartment.
Due to the magnitude of this task, and
to ensure the highest level of safety for all
residents, fire inspections are
unannounced. Inspections will be
conducted during normal weekday
business hours. For your convenience,
inspections commence after 10:00 AM.
Rooms and apartments will be entered for
the purpose of conducting the scheduled
unannounced fire safety inspection even in
the absence of the resident. As a security
measure, doors to all vacant residence hall
rooms or apartments will be locked upon
the departure of the Fire Inspector (even if
the door was found unlocked).
Violations
A violation notice will be left for, or
given to, residents of a room or apartment
whenever a fire safety violation is found.
If any prohibited items are found and
cited during the course of an inspection,
the residents must immediately remove
the item(s) from the residence hall room.
Cited violations will also be forwarded to
the appropriate Office of Residence Life
and violators will be issued a Fire Code
Violation Follow-up Form that must be
completed and returned verifying that the
violation has been corrected. Second
offenses result in being placed on
probation and third offenses result in
removal from residence. In addition,
residents are reminded that under the
provisions of the New Jersey Uniform
Fire Code (N.J.A.C. 5:18-2.17) they may
be held financially liable for the actual
costs of extinguishing a fire directly, or
indirectly, caused by a violation, which
had been cited and remained unabated at
the time of the fire.
When Class I violations of
University Fire Safety Regulations are
discovered, a Complaint-Summons is
issued immediately and the violator(s)
receive a fine of $50 which must be paid
within 30 days. Failure to satisfy the
penalty within the 30-day period results in
a hold on student records and financial
accounts and the imposition of an
additional $10 late payment fee. Class I
violations include:
• Bed or furniture reducing the required
width of the exit
• Items hanging from sprinkler head or
pipe, fire detector, or alarm horn
• Electrical wiring that is “homemade” or
otherwise modified.
• Unattended cooking, burning candle, or
other open flame.
• Bicycle chained to exit way element.
• Presence of candles of any type of form,
oil, lamp, or incense.
All residents of a room or apartment
are responsible for the presence of
prohibited items or conditions violating
University fire safety regulations, and
share the cost of any penalty assessed
for such violations.
Violations of the New Jersey Uniform
Fire Code result in penalties ranging
from $100 to $1,000. These violations
include, but are not limited to:
• Tampering with building fire alarm
system.
• Tampering with, or discharge of fire
extinguisher
13
• Dismantling, disabling, or otherwise
reducing the effectiveness of a room
smoke detector or other alarm device.
• Storing or parking a motorcycle within a
building.
• Failing to evacuate building during an
actual fire alarm or scheduled
evacuation drill.
Life Safety Don'ts
Use common sense for guidance in
making decisions, which could affect your
safety and the safety of others.
• Don't smoke in bed!
• Don't place or hang anything over
lighting fixtures, fire detectors, or on
fire sprinkler piping.
• Don't store personal belongings in
corridors, vestibules, or stairwell
landings.
• Don't block access to doors and
windows. Furniture must be arranged to
permit full opening of all doors.
• Don't chain bicycles to stairways or
landings; they will be removed and
confiscated.
• Don’t prop open outside doors.
• Don’t throw any objects out of windows
or from balconies. This is extremely
dangerous. Violators face disciplinary
action and/or expulsion from housing.
• Don’t attempt to prop elevator doors.
• Don’t cover desk or standing lamps with
scarves or drapes. The heat of the bulb
may cause a fire.
• Don’t park in a designated fire zone.

SECURITY SERVICES
Rutgers University Police Officers
have full police power and regularly patrol
in both marked and unmarked vehicles.
You may contact the police by regular
telephone or use the emergency
telephones described in this guide.
Uniformed security officers and student
officers also patrol the grounds at night,
checking primarily for open entry doors
and suspicious activities and/or persons.
Students also serve as pages and desk
crews to monitor building access in large
residence halls during evening hours.
Full-time and student
employees of the Division of Housing
and Conferences are required to wear
an identification badge while on duty.
Vendors, repair personnel, employees of
service companies, and staff of other
university departments must also display
an identification card. If a nonresident is
not wearing an ID and/or seems
suspicious, notify university police. Do
not challenge a stranger's presence; use a
telephone, preferably in your room, to
notify university police.
Security Guidelines/Regulations
Responsibility for safety and security
lies with the individual. No amount of
service can offset irresponsible behavior.
Compliance with the following guidelines
is extremely important in providing a
secure campus:
•
Keep your room locked whenever it
is unoccupied, when you are in your
room, and when you are asleep.
•
Do not let strangers into your
building.
•
First-floor residents should not
unlock security screens or use
windows as an exit/entrance, except
in an emergency.
•
Never prop exterior doors open!
Not only does this allow
unauthorized access into your
building, but also it could potentially
damage the locking devices or the
door. Secure any door you find
propped open.
•
Do not walk alone at night. The best
security you have is traveling with a
companion.
•
Do not hitchhike. Take the
intercampus bus whenever possible.
•
In the event of an emergency, or if
you notice suspicious activity, call
university police at 911.
•
Be alert to the presence of all
strangers in nonpublic areas of
living units. Solicitors are not
allowed; report their presence to
Residence Life staff.
•
Do not toss objects out of windows
or from balconies. Violators face
disciplinary action and/or expulsion
from housing.
•
Do not play Frisbee, golf, football,
hockey, or other sports in the
residence facilities, where injury or
property damage could result. Again,
•
this could subject violators to
disciplinary action and/or removal
from housing.
If you are the victim of a theft or
witness to a crime, call university
police immediately and notify a
member of the Residence Life staff.
Visitor Access
When you invite a guest to visit you in
your residence, provide him or her with
your telephone number and ask him or her
to contact you on arrival using the yellow
phone. DO NOT prop an entry door open
-- an alarm may sound, and your
convenience could lead to another resident
being robbed or injured. It is your
responsibility to meet your guest at the
building entrance. DO NOT allow
strangers into your home. Persons making
deliveries are not allowed in the facility
unless met and accompanied by a resident.
14
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS WHEN A FIRE ALARM SOUNDS
Do not wait to see fire or smoke! Follow these procedures recommended by the US Fire Administration.
FEEL THE DOOR HANDLE
If the door handle is hot, DON'T open it, go to a window and call for help.
If the handle is not hot, open the door CAUTIOUSLY and check for fire or smoke before leaving
the room.
GET OUT OF THE BUILDING BEFORE PHONING FOR HELP
Don't take time to phone before leaving. Building fire alarms are connected to RUPD headquarters
and provide immediate notification when alarms activate.
Get out and use a campus emergency phone that is located in all housing areas. Calling to report
an actual fire condition is helpful. Emergency response agencies can be advised en route to be
better prepared to take immediate action upon arrival.
PULL THE FIRE ALARM ON YOUR WAY OUT if the fire alarm is not already sounding
DON'T LOOK FOR OTHER PEOPLE OR GATHER UP YOUR "STUFF"
Knock on doors as you leave
Yell FIRE as you leave
Don't hesitate or stray from your path as you leave
CRAWL LOW TO THE FLOOR
Thick smoke can make it impossible to see,
Toxic chemicals from smoke can be deadly in minutes
CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND YOU
You may help keep the fire from spreading
You may protect your possessions from fire and smoke damage!
IF YOU CAN'T GET OUT, GET SOMEONE'S ATTENTION!
Call 911 and tell the dispatcher that you are trapped in your room.
Be sure to give your room number so this information can be passed on by radio
Yell or scream to draw attention
Hang a sheet from your window
Stay low - there is less smoke, heat, and poisonous gases close to the floor
PLAN ESCAPE ROUTES IN ADVANCE
Know where all exits are located in the building
Participate in the emergency evacuation drills to practice your escape
Once out - STAY OUT!
Rutgers College Housing would like to take the time out to thank the “Summer Session Office” for allowing us to duplicate their
Summer Session catalog cover for our “Guidelines for Housing” brochure.
