those who are.

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

or at bwilson@haverford.edu.

full or partial board plan, you should also notify Barbara
Wilson.

APPLIANCES

Satellite dishes, candles, use of halogen lamps and large
electrical appliances are prohibited in College housing.

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"

MAILING

You may ship trunks and packages to yourself, but they

the College assumes no responsibility for damage to or
loss of any personal property.
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.
