Vandalism Charges

Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between accidental damage and vandalism. While the end product may be the same, the two behaviors call for different responses. When accidental damage occurs and is self-reported to a staff member, the student will be charged only for repair or replacement costs. 

Where damage or vandalism occurs and goes unreported, but the individual(s) responsible is identified, disciplinary action will be initiated and charges will include the cost for repair/replacement plus 50 percent.                          

COMMON AREA DAMAGE: Damages to or littering in common areas (hallways, lounges and lounge furnishings, etc.) may be charged equally among the residents of a floor or hall. If you do not want to share the cost for this kind of damage, please bring information about the responsible person(s) to your hall director. Charges for damage may be billed out, where appropriate, on a quarterly basis.
