Thank you in advance for your cooperation. 
Good Luck on your exams and enjoy your break!

Before you leave:

• Close and lock all windows.
• Be sure water faucets are turned completely off.
• If there is a heating unit with controls in your room please leave the control set on LOW.
• Turn off stereo sytems, radios, lamps, alarm clocks, and all other electrical appliances.
• Be sure all holiday decorations which you have placed on your door or in the hallways and lounges are completely removed and/or properly disposed of before you leave.
• Residents are not required to empty their refrigerators. However, we strongly recommend that these are cleaned out to prevent spoilage resulting from any power outages that may occur during the break. Take home or discard all opened and perishable food.
• Aquariums may be left plugged in but, due to possibility of power outages, alternative plans are recommended.
• Lock your room door and take valuables home with you.  Although Campus Police will patrol the campus throughout the break, the College cannot guarantee the security of your possessions.
