Student Life Roommates

Living with others in a residence hall setting is often a learning process. There are Residence Life staff members in each building to assist you. Communication is the key to a positive living situation. Make the time early in the year to talk with your roommate about your living environment. As soon as you get your housing assignment you should start getting to know your roommate with the information provided. You will find that this is an important foundation for a successful year. Roommates will complete a roommate contract in August after Orientation that will assist in establishing guidelines for living together. This process will assist in the "getting to know you" faze of this new important relationship

Should you have valid personality conflicts that cannot be overcome through mediation, a room switch may be considered. You will be required to attempt to repair the relationship through your RA and/or a professional staff member. Every effort must be made to find a resolution first..

Student Life Lost Keys

All residents assigned to suites are issued one room key which opens the suite door and individual room door to which he/she is assigned. If you lose your key, you must report this to the Residence Life Office immediately. This will help to assure that the safety and security of you and your fellow residents is protected. If a key is lost or not returned, the student will be charged $275 to cover the cost of lock changes and production of new keys. All keys issued must be returned to the Residence Life Office. The keys cannot be duplicated and are property of Belmont Abbey College.

Student Life Property Security

You should keep your individual room door as well as your suite door locked at all times. Do not leave cash, jewelry or other valuable items in the open.  

To guard against theft, record serial numbers of your personal property and mark all items such as laptops, stereos, cameras, etc. with your name or college ID number.  Also, if you notice anything or anyone unusual in your building, please report this immediately to a staff member or Campus Safety and Police.  In the event that you are the victim of a theft, please notify the Residence Life staff and Campus Safety and Police immediately.

Please remember you are also responsible for any damage done within your suite whether you are present or not. If you keep your suite door closed and locked, you minimize the opportunity for other students to cause damage or enter your room without your permission.

Lastly, all goods and property of students upon the property of the college shall be the sole responsibility of the students, and in no event shall the college be liable for any loss or damage to said goods or property for any reason whatsoever. Students are advised to check if their belongings are covered under their parents homeowners insurance while at college or to obtain personal property insurance for their belongings

Student Life Telephone Service

The college provides a telephone line and voicemail in each student room. While many students have their cell phone, it is mandatory for all students to use the voicemail system provided as faculty and staff members only know your room number. If you choose to use this line for long distance calls, you’ll need to use a calling card.

Student Life Bathroom Facilities

Each suite has a bathroom with one toilet, one shower and two sinks. Students are required to store their personal toiletries in their own rooms. The Housekeeping staff cleans each suite bathroom daily and cannot clean the bathroom if personal belongings are in the way.

Student Life Laundry Facilities

For all Maintenance issues, please contact your Resident Assistant or the Office of Residence Life immediately to have the repairs addressed.

Student Life furnishings

You are welcome to bring a rug or carpet. Many students do since the student rooms in the residence halls are not carpeted. There are many stores in the area that carry carpets and other furnishings, so you may want to consider waiting until you arrive, have a chance to see your room, and talk with your roommate before you purchase items like this.

Student Life furnishings

Via the local fire marshal and fire regulations, regular extension cords are not permitted in the residence halls. Students may use extension cords that have built-in surge protectors. If you use surge protectors, please make sure that they have a heavy duty with a self-tripping breaker. Your student handbook outlines in more detail what can be in the halls in order to be in compliance with the Fire Marshal and fire regulations.

Student Life Curtains

Each residence hall room is equipped with mini-blinds. In most cases you will need to bring a curtain rod with you if you wish to hang curtains in addition to the blinds. Because the walls in the residence halls are cinder block, we recommend purchasing the appropriate size tension rods instead of rods which require screws to be hung.
