Health & Safety Inspections The University conducts periodic Health & Safety Inspections in all residence hall rooms. These unannounced inspections are meant to help ensure the well being of all residents and the safety of the community. At a minimum, the inspection will involve examining the integrity of electrical plugs, the removal of prohibited electrical devices, appliances and other prohibited items, a visual inspection of sprinkler heads, smoke detectors and other life safety systems, and a general assessment of storage and cleanliness of the room. Prohibited items will be immediately confiscated and disposed of without reimbursement. See the “Health & Safety Inspection List of Prohibited Items” on the reverse side for more information. UPD will be contacted for items found that pose a substantial threat to person or property (illegal drugs, weapons, explosives, etc.) and a thorough administrative search will then be conducted. Costs associated with housekeeping necessary to clean excessively dirty/unsanitary rooms and to repair damage to University property will be billed directly to residents. Additionally, all University residence halls are designated non-smoking areas and evidence of smoking in resident rooms will be reported. The University reserves the right to re-enter student rooms to complete needed follow-up inspections. Disciplinary action may be taken for any health & safety violations.
