AC approval & installation
Students residing in non-air-conditioned facilities are not permitted to bring their own air-conditioner unit to campus. However, students with a documented medical condition or disability may be approved for air conditioning by submitting documentation from the student’s family doctor to the Bailey Health Center. Once approved, the student will be directed to Facilities Operations to complete the process. Only Facilities Operations Staff is permitted to install AC units in college-owned properties.
Appliance Rentals
The College has partnered with local companies for approved appliance rentals.
Microfridge
To prevent electrical circuitry overloads, the only microwave permitted in residence hall rooms is a microfridge. A microfridge is a combination refrigerator/microwave that regulates its power supply. Microfridge units may be purchased or rented from this vendor.
Refrigerators
Small refrigerators are permitted in the residence halls. You may bring your own refrigerator or rent a unit through this vendor.

Personal Property Insurance
The College assumes no responsibility for loss of or damage to any student’s personal property while located in College-owned premises.

If this policy does not provide coverage, students should visit https://www.collegestudentinsurance.com/ or contact an insurance agent.
Preventing & Detecting Mold
Mold spores can be found almost anywhere and are naturally present in both indoor and outdoor environments. Mold spores can’t be eliminated from the indoor environment. We bring them in with us on our shoes and clothing and when we open a window. These normal levels of mold do not typically cause health problems. If mold starts to grow indoors, concentrations can rise and increase the risk to occupants. The good news is that we can prevent mold growth by controlling moisture.
Report a Facilities Problem - Submit a Work Order
The Facilities Operations department is responsible for cleaning and maintaining the residence halls. Our office acts as a liaison between students and Facilities Operations. Students are prohibited from doing their own repairs.
Maintenance Requests
Non-emergency repairs should be submitted through a work order request or by informing your RA. Emergency requests should be reported immediately as follows:
- Weekdays 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., call Facilities Operations at 610-330-5373.
- After 4:30 p.m. and on the weekends, call Public Safety at 610-330-5330.
Laundry Issues
For concerns about laundry facilities please submit a work order request. Please include the following information so that your request can be processed quickly:
- Location of the laundry room (building and floor)

Trash and Recycling
With each residence hall, the College provides centrally located trash cans and recycling containers for small items. Custodians empty hallway trash and recycling containers. You are encouraged to take your room trash directly to the exterior dumpster located near your building. Students living in off-campus houses/apartments are responsible for taking trash and recycling curbside for pick-up by the City of Easton.
