BLUE GOLD GUIDE
ENJOYING YOUR HALL ENVIRONMENT Students have a role in keeping our hall communities running smoothly. Thus, we encourage residents to understand their rights and responsibilities as a student. In living with us, we work with you to have an environment that is safe from harm,
but we need you to make sure to look through the Student’s Rights & Responsibilities on our website. Here are a few highlights of the responsibilities we frequently see students not fully understand:
The laundry fee is part of your residence hall fees, so take advantage of the 24 hour, unlimited access to your area’s facility. Please use High Efficiency detergent in the machines to avoid soap build up. Fire Safety is incredibly important, thus we do not allow candles, tobacco, vaping in the halls. We restrict microwaves and kitchen appliance usage to common area kitchens. Your trash is your responsibility to get to the dumpsters located outside the building. Do not use common area trashcans to dump your belongings.
UNK is a dry campus. We do not allow alcohol in our traditional residence halls, regardless of age.
Room cleanliness is important to your health and the health of others in the community. We require your room to be clean and orderly. Students are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of their bathroom, please clean up personal messes in common areas. Courtesy hours are in effect 24 hours, 7 days a week. All residents and their guests are expected to keep their noise to a level that does not interfere with others.
