Only students with special permission from the Housing Office or Athletic Department will be allowed to move in before the official opening date (e.g. UCAs, CPs, HCOs, SRPs, PAFs, AMAs, Customs Program support, or athletes). If you have permission to return early, please see below. If you must return before Saturday, September 1st, and are not an athlete or person involved with Customs, you will need to make other arrangements and stay off campus. A list of area accommodations can be found at http://www.haverford.edu/hcweb/hchotels.html

Because of security concerns and the perennial problems associated with missing furniture, students will not be permitted to store items either in their dorm rooms or other dorm areas before the day they are permitted to return. Due to the increasing number of students arriving without permission, a $250.00 fine will be levied on students who are on campus before the residence halls officially open on the Saturday, September 1st. Any student who permits an unauthorized student to stay in their residence hall/apartment will also be fined $250.

ROOM KEYS

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1st
Students may pick up their key between 9:00am - 9:00pm at Facilities Management.

From 9:00 pm to midnight, students must first go to Safety & Security to leave their name. Security will then contact the Locksmith. Students on the next hour exactly must be at Facilities Management to meet the Locksmith to get their key. The Locksmith will only be at Facilities Management once an hour on the hour (exactly at 10:00pm, at 11:00pm and at midnight) and will only have keys for those students whose name are on the list provided by Security. Students must be waiting at Facilities Management on the hour - the Locksmith will not wait.

IF YOU WILL BE ARRIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT, you must contact the Housing Office no later than 4:30pm, Thursday, August 30th, to make the necessary arrangements. Students arriving after midnight, who have made these prior arrangements with the Housing Office, may pick up their key at the Safety & Security Office. Students arriving after midnight who have not contacted the Housing Office prior to the 30th, will not be able to pick up their key nor get into their room, will need to make other arrangements for the night and will need to wait to pick up their key during Non-Academic Registration on Sunday, September 2nd.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2nd
Students arriving from 8:30am - 3:00pm, may pick up their room key at Non-Academic Registration. If you cannot attend Non-Academic Registration, you must make arrangements with the Housing Office no later than 4:30 pm, Friday, August 31st (610-896-1298 or housing@haverford.edu).

AS OF MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3rd, you may pick up your key at the Facilities Management Office, during regular working hours, M-F, 8:00am - 4:00pm.

EARLY ARRIVALS
Student who have been given permission to return early, please click here for information on key pick up. Students who have been given special permission to return, please remember that you must acknowledge receipt of your key by swiping your One Card by the end of Non-Academic Registration on Sunday, September 2nd. Dorm security is a serious matter, and Facilities Management must be able to confirm that the department's records match the number of the key in your possession. If you do not personally swipe your OneCard for your room key at the Facilities Management Office when you first arrive, you can do so during their regular hours M-F, 8am - 4:00 pm or at Non-Academic Registration, on either Wednesday, August 29th or Sunday, September 2nd. A brief word about parties: For obvious reasons Customs Week, for all participants, is "dry." If you are not formally involved in first-year activities, please honor the "custom" of a dry week for those who are.

The meal plan, for both HC and BMC, begins with the dinner meal on Sunday, September 2. The meal exchange will go into effect with dinner on that day as well. Because the food service will already be in operation accommodating both the athletic and customs programs, you may purchase your meals at the occasional meal rate through brunch on Sunday. Residents of HCA, 710 College Avenue and Ira De A. Reid House are permitted either to be off the board plan or to take the partial board plan. If you are living in one of these dorms and want one of these two options, you should immediately notify Barbara Wilson, Student Accounts Coordinator in the Business Office, at 610-896-1251 or at bwilson@haverford.edu. If you do not contact Barbara Wilson, you will be on the full meal plan and your student account will be charged accordingly.

If you are living off campus and want to be on either the full or partial board plan, you should also notify Barbara Wilson.

HOUSING POLICIES

AIR CONDITIONERS
Please remember that only those students who have a documented medical need and permission from the Housing Office may have an air conditioner. A current (new each year) letter from your physician, specifically stating the medical need for air conditioning, must be received by the Housing Office before any air conditioner will be installed by HC staff. This letter can be sent by mail or by FAX (610.896.4960). Students given permission to use an air conditioner must provide their own unit. Please click here for further information about Haverford's air conditioner policy and fees.

APPLIANCES AND OTHER ITEMS
Satellite dishes, candles, use of halogen lamps and large electrical appliances are prohibited in College housing. Students may use small and medium-sized refrigerators in the residence halls. Other low-wattage appliances such as electric blankets and coffee makers are also allowed.

FURNISHINGS
The College provides each student with the standard bedroom furnishings-bed, dresser, desk, desk chair, desk lamp and small bookshelf. All windows have window shades. Each student is expected to supply their own wastebasket, pillow, towels, and bed linens (mattresses are extra-long 36" x 80" x 6"). A flashlight is recommended in the rare case of a power outage.
For students living in HCA, the College provides, in addition to the above, the following: in the living room -- seating for three or four, a coffee table and a lamp; in the kitchen: a full-sized refrigerator with a freezer section, a stove, a sink with a garbage disposal, and storage cabinets. As in all residence halls, toilet paper is provided. Vacuum cleaners are available for use through the HCA office (x1779, building 15 basement, entrance in rear of building). Students are expected to supply their own dishes, utensils, pots and pans, etc.

PETS
Fur-bearing animals, such as cats, dogs, gerbils, hamsters, mice and rabbits are not permitted in our housing at any time. Any student who is found keeping a fur-bearing animal in a Haverford residence hall or apartment may lose the right to live in College housing and have to move out within two days. The pet must be removed from the dorm the day the animal is discovered or the owner will be fined $100.00.

ROOM DECORATIONS
Room/suite decorations are encouraged as a way of personalizing a living space. Students should attach memo boards, posters, and similar items to walls/doors using poster putty. Students may not write, paint or otherwise mark on any surface in any residence hall. Thumbtacks, nails and tape are not permitted as they damage walls.

SMOKING POLICY
The College has adopted a smoking policy to protect individuals who do not wish to be exposed to smoke of any kind. All non-residential buildings have been designated "smoke-free areas". No one may smoke inside any such building, and smokers should take care not to cause others discomfort when smoking too close to an entrance of such a building.

Students' Council has determined that smoking should be permitted in student housing so long as no other resident(s) object. Smoking in College housing is a privilege, not a right.

Please link to The Smoking Policy & Smoke-Free Housing for further information and to read the full policy.
