Student Responsibility
Report Maintenance Issues
As a resident, you play a vital role in maintaining a safe and comfortable living environment. While University Housing Facilities Management (UHFM) is responsible for handling all maintenance and repairs, it is your responsibility to promptly report any facility issues within your unit or common areas by submitting a maintenance request. Whether it’s a minor repair or a more significant concern, reporting issues as soon as they arise helps ensure timely resolution and prevents small problems from becoming larger ones. By taking responsibility for submitting maintenance requests, you contribute to the overall upkeep of your living space and the well-being of the residential community.
Failure to properly report damage to the living unit could result in charges to restore the living unit to original condition.
