Moving Out Guidelines
Any time a student moves out of a dorm room, the student needs to acquire a check-out sheet, and a dean must inspect the room. The room must be left clean and free of damage. If left otherwise, charges will occur. Personal items may be stored over the summer in a specified storage area with the dean’s permission. Other items left in the dorm at the end of the year will be discarded.
Roommates
Students are required to have a roommate unless otherwise approved by the dean. An important part of your academic life will be the relationship you establish with your roommate. Taking time to communicate about each other’s needs can prevent many problems.
Room Keys
A room key will be issued to each student for his/her room. If you lose your key, a second key will cost you $50, which includes the rekeying of the lock. If you do not turn in your key at the end of the year, you will be charged $50 which may be used to rekey the lock.
Room Locks
Lock your door when you are not occupying your room. All doors will be locked at room check time. Reasonable efforts will be made to protect the students’ property; however, it is understood that Wisconsin Academy is in no way responsible or liable for the loss or damage to students’ private property. If something is missing, report it to the dean immediately. Please do not keep large amounts of money in your room. A student bank is provided for you in the Business Office.
Room Reservations
Reserving a room is based on the previous year’s room cleanliness scores. New students are placed by the dean. Room Changes All room changes must be authorized by the dean. Before you move out of your room, it must be cleaned, repair needs reported, and inspected by the dean.
Room Check
Rooms are expected to be clean and orderly and will be checked regularly. Although it does not happen frequently, in certain cases the deans and administration reserve the right to inspect a student’s room at any time. Both roommates will be held financially responsible for any damage done throughout the year unless it is determined that one student is solely responsible.
Room Decorations
Your room needs to reflect Christian standards. All decorations are subject to the dean’s approval. Stickers or tape may not be used on the doors, walls, windows, or furniture, except with specific dean approval. Do not put nails in the walls. Please note that there is a minimum $50 charge for repainting your room if you do not follow this policy. Do not hang items on the outside of the door or on the walls beside the door except with specific dean approval.
Furniture
Each room is furnished with drawers, one desk, and a bed for each student. Furniture (including mattresses) may not be moved from room to room without permission from the dean.
Appliances
Because of safety codes issued by the state, no electrical appliances may be used in an individual’s room. This includes hot plates, refrigerators, microwaves, space heaters, etc. Halogen lamps and black lights are also not allowed.
Painting
In order to keep the rooms in good repair, students are asked not to paint the walls, woodwork, or furniture in the rooms. In addition, wall paper and decorative boarders may not be used.
Your mail will be delivered to your room by the dean on duty or an authorized RA.
Trash
All personal trash should be deposited in an outside dumpster. Your room trash should not be deposited in any other place.
Telephones
Students can use the phones in the dorm lobbies and provide those numbers to their families.
