Alcohol

Only individuals who are 21 years of age or older are permitted to possess and/or consume alcoholic beverages and must follow these guidelines:

  • Alcohol is only permitted in the residence halls designated where upper division and transfer students reside. All students who wish to consume/possess alcoholic beverages must obtain an alcohol permit from the Department of Housing and Residence Life (HRL) and post it in plain view within their assigned living area.
  • Alcohol is not permitted in the common areas and/or around the residence halls.
  • Alcohol may not be consumed in the presence of any individual under the age of 21 who does not live in the suite/apartment.
  • Beer, wine, wine coolers and flavored malt beverages (i.e., seltzers) are the only types of alcohol permitted in the halls. The maximum amount of alcohol allowed by a permit-holding student at any given time is 12 (12 oz.) bottles of beer, wine coolers or flavored malt beverages and/or two bottles of wine. Hard liquor and alcohol/energy combination drinks of any kind are prohibited.

Refer to Standards of Conduct for further information.

Abandoned Items

Items found in public areas, including public hallways and laundry rooms, that cannot be traced to the owner will be considered abandoned.

Unclaimed abandoned items will be held for a period of 10 days. At the end of the 10-day period, unclaimed items will become the property of the university. Exceptions include perishable items and any property that remains in a room after checkout, any items that remain at the end of the student’s housing contract for that term or clothes left in laundry rooms. Perishable items, property left in a room after checkout, storage items not claimed and clothes left in laundry rooms may be disposed of immediately.

All items left in community spaces and kitchens, including in refrigerators, at the end of each semester will be considered abandoned and may be disposed of immediately. 

Bikes and other items secured to bike racks will be considered abandoned over the summer if not moved to the area around the residence hall(s) used for summer housing and properly registered with Campus Safety and Security.

Unclaimed items may be disposed of in one or more of the following ways: 

  • Conversion to university use
  • Donated to a social service or other community organization
  • Sold at auction
  • Destruction or disposal

Check-In & Check-Out Information

Checking In

When residents check into housing at the beginning of the semester or change rooms during the semester, they are encouraged to complete a Room Condition Report (RCR) online. The online RCR allows the resident to make their own comments. It is the responsibility of each resident to complete the RCR for their living environment within five days of checking in. Those notes will be compared to the condition of the room upon checkout, and any damages beyond normal wear and tear, abandoned items present or extra cleaning will be noted and charged to the resident’s account. If the resident does not complete the RCR within five days of moving into the space, they automatically default to agreeing to the condition of the space as deemed by the prior HRL inspection.

Early Arrivals/Extensions

HRL does not guarantee occupancy beyond the dates in the Terms and Conditions. Residents may request to check in early or check out late at a cost of $75 per night. Online requests are available and must be submitted at least 10 business days before check-in or checkout and will be granted based on availability.

Checking Out

Whenever students move out of their room, they are expected to schedule a meeting with an RA or HRL staff member, who will inspect their room and common spaces, and complete the checkout RCR. Students are expected to schedule a checkout time with their RA at least 24 hours in advance of the desired checkout day. HRL staff will inspect any discrepancies from check-in to checkout and share any damage charges with the student within five business days of the last day of checkout. Students will have five business days to comment on any potential damages that will be charged. Failure to review/comment within the five business days will negate a resident’s ability to dispute the damage charges. Students who fail the follow these checkout guidelines may be subject to an improper checkout fine.

Express Checkout: Express checkout enables students to put their key in an envelope and turn it in to HRL as their checkout. Express checkouts are designed to be used only in rare instances and when checking out between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. Those who do express checkout are unable to appeal any damage charges associated with checkout. Express envelopes are available through the HRL office.

Cleaning

Residents are responsible for cleaning their bedrooms, bathrooms and common spaces as needed. Bathrooms in each of the units will be professionally cleaned on a weekly basis during the semester. These cleanings are only in the bathroom area (shower, water closet, vanity area) and do not include other spaces. Professional cleaning of the bathrooms helps maintain our facilities.

Residents may check out a vacuum cleaner from their RA. All other or additional cleaning supplies are the responsibility of the residents.

Health and Safety Inspections (HSIs) are conducted regularly to ensure that rooms are maintained in a clean and sanitary condition. All residents must keep their spaces clean. See the section, “Health & Safety Inspections” for more information.

Contract Release

All contracts are for the entire contract period (Fall/Spring semesters or Summer). Any release from the contract must meet the criteria stated in the Terms and Conditions of the contract, which can be found on the HRL website. A student must submit the request to break their contract via the online portal. Each term has a specific application to request to be released from the contract — be sure you are completing the request for the correct term. Contractual release is only upon written approval from HRL. All housing refunds are based on the refund policy stated in the Catalog.

Courtesy Hours

Being courteous to your fellow residents is an important aspect of a good community. Close living conditions and the effects of noise travelling through the buildings necessitate the establishment of some rules to contain noise. Courtesy hours are in effect 24 hours per day, seven days a week out of respect for the educational living and learning environments of others. Within and near the residence halls, stereos (including car audio), and televisions should always be set at a reasonable volume to avoid disrupting others and voices should be kept at a reasonable level. Members of the community are also encouraged to respectfully talk to their neighbors when the noise is too loud.

Damages

Financial liability for damages lies with the residents in the bedroom, suite, apartment or building. Repeated damages have a direct impact on housing rates if the responsible party is not found or no one comes forward to accept responsibility for the damages. If damage occurs in an apartment, suite or a common area of a building, and no individual takes responsibility, HRL will divide the charges among the occupants and bill their student accounts. This includes but is not limited to common entryways, hallways, lounges, kitchens and the immediate exterior/grounds, including littering and cigarette butts. If damage occurs in a suite or apartment, the residents of the suite/apartment will be held responsible. If damage occurs, please report it to the RA or to HRL as soon as possible.

Residents are not authorized to perform any type of repair to damage themselves. Self-repairs may result in higher costs for residents, as they will most likely have to be redone in order to meet institutional specifications.

Students who come forward and admit responsibility for non-malicious damage will receive a 10% reduction in the cost of the repairs. Students need to talk with an HRL staff member about damage to get the discount on the repair.

Abandoned items and trash left in rooms upon checkout will be considered damage and students will be charged as appropriate.

Decorating

Residents are encouraged to decorate their rooms as they wish and within reason. Nails, hooks or anything that will put a hole in the wall, peel the paint off or leave marks are prohibited. Any damage from decorating rooms will be charged to the resident(s). Items cannot be hung or attached to the ceiling due to fire safety regulations. Residents are not permitted to paint their room/common areas.

Disability Accommodations & Emotional Support Animals (ESAs)

HRL is dedicated to providing disability accommodations on an as-needed basis. All disability accommodation requests must be made through Student Accessibility Services (SAS). To enable a reasonable timeframe for implementation, all requests should be initiated by June 1 for the Fall semester, December 1 for the Spring semester and April 1 for the Summer semester. HRL works closely with SAS to ensure a positive living environment while also maintaining confidentiality.

ESAs are not allowed in common areas of the halls (lounges), other student rooms or in other campus buildings. Only after SAS has approved a request will an animal be considered an ESA; otherwise, they are considered a pet (see Animals on Campus Policy). If SAS approves the animal as an ESA, the student must meet with the Director of Housing and Residence Life or their designee to review expectations before the animal is approved to come to campus.

Doors, Propping or Forced Entry

Entry doors to buildings may not be propped open. For reasons of fire safety, personal safety and building security, these doors are to remain closed and locked 24 hours per day. Residents have card access to halls that require it for entry and are required to use their EagleCard for building access.

Emergency Information 

The safety of each individual and their property is of primary concern to HRL. Emergencies should be reported immediately to your RA or the RA on call/duty by dialing 928-777-3790. If neither is available, please contact Campus Safety and Security by dialing x73333 on a campus phone or 928-777-3333. In a life-threatening situation, first call 911, and then call an Embry-Riddle staff member. RAs are on call/duty when the Department of Housing and Residence Life office is closed. An HRL professional staff member is on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Fire Evacuation Procedures & Equipment

All windows, doorways, hallways and stairwells are to always remain unobstructed. To block such areas is a violation of local fire codes, as it poses a potential egress concern. 

Fire Codes require that the university conduct two fire drills each year in every residence hall. We do these drills in the first two weeks of the Fall and Spring semesters.

Students must evacuate buildings during all fire alarms. The fire code does not allow for any exceptions to this requirement.

Fire Alarm Evacuation Procedures

  • Exit the building immediately.
  • If in your room, lock your door and take your key. 
  • Use stairways, not elevators. 
  • Once outside, move 100 feet, or more, away from the building to the designated assembly point. 
  • Notify staff of the possible location of the fire, if known, or the possible cause of the alarm, and of possible residents remaining in the building.
  • Do not re-enter an evacuated building until a university official indicates the residents may return to the building. Silencing of an alarm does not indicate the building is safe to reenter.
  • Failure to evacuate the building in a timely manner during any fire alarm may result in a $50 fine and additional student conduct charges.

Fire Safety Equipment

Any costs associated with a false alarm caused by negligence or malicious actions may result in the financial responsibility of the responsible party, as well as applicable student conduct charges. Dismantling, covering or otherwise altering fire safety equipment (smoke/heat detectors, sprinklers, fire extinguishers) is considered tampering and therefore is prohibited.

Tampering with any fire safety equipment (including smoke detectors, pull stations, sprinklers and fire extinguishers) may result in a minimum fine of $250 and additional student conduct charges.

Mingus Mountain Complex (Halls 1-5)

Smoke detectors are located in bedrooms. Heat detectors are located in lounges/kitchenettes. Fire extinguishers are located on the exterior walkways/balconies. Activation of a detector will sound the alarm in the entire building and will result in an evacuation of the building. Residents are advised to close bedroom doors when cooking or showering to avoid possible non-fire related alarms.

Village Complex (Halls 6-10)

Hallway and community areas contain smoke and heat detectors. Activation of these devices will result in an evacuation of the building. The smoke detectors within the suites/apartments are independent of the building system and therefore will not cause a building evacuation. In a non-fire related alarm (e.g., overcooked food), open the window and close the door to clear the room. Fan away from the detector, preferably with a damp towel, to shut the detector off. Do not remove the smoke detector. Opening the suite/apartment door to the main hallway will activate the alarm for the entire hall. Fire extinguishers are located in hallways in the Village Complex.

The Village Complex is equipped with a sprinkler system. The sprinklers are heat and touch sensitive. Do not hang anything from, touch or disrupt the sprinklers at any time. If a sprinkler goes off due to negligence or malicious actions, the resident(s) in the room will be held accountable for damage costs. If the sprinkler is activated in a common area due to negligence or malicious actions, the residents of the building will be held accountable for damages unless the person who activated the sprinkler system is identified. Sprinkler system discharge can result in $10,000 or more in damages plus personal property loss and student conduct charges.

Thumb Butte Complex (M100-400, Thumb Butte Apartments and Thumb Butte Suites)

Smoke detectors are located in bedrooms. Heat detectors are located in kitchens. Fire extinguishers are located in hallways. Activation of a detector will sound the alarm in the entire building and will result in an evacuation of the building. Residents should close bedroom doors when cooking or showering to avoid possible non-fire related alarms.

The Thumb Butte Complex is equipped with a sprinkler system. The sprinklers are heat and touch sensitive. Do not hang anything from, touch or disrupt the sprinklers at any time. If a sprinkler goes off due to negligence or malicious actions, the resident(s) in the room will be held accountable for damage costs. If the sprinkler is activated in a common area due to negligence or malicious actions, the residents of the building will be held accountable for damages unless the person who activated the sprinkler system is identified. Sprinkler system discharge can result in $10,000 or more in damages plus personal property loss and student conduct charges.

Furniture

HRL provides each resident with a bed and mattress, desk, desk chair and dresser. Each resident provides their own linens, bedding, cleaning materials and other personal items. Any requests for bed adjustments need to be submitted to the Housing office at prhouse@erau.edu within the first two weeks of the semester and will be evaluated based on furniture availability and timeliness of request by HRL prior to completing or denying the request. Non-university loft kits are not permitted.

Residents are responsible for furniture provided by the university. Any damage that results from improper use of furniture will be charged to the residents.

The residents may not remove university-provided furniture at any time. This includes moving furniture from a common space into a personal space. Removal of furniture may result in fines of up to $100 per piece of furniture or the cost to replace missing furniture and student conduct charges.

Garbage

All residents are responsible for properly disposing of any trash from their room/suite/apartment. All refuse must be taken to the appropriate dumpsters located in the parking lots of the residence halls. Students found depositing room refuse in university-provided receptacles in halls, lounges, common kitchens or laundry rooms may be subject to student conduct action.

Garbage and abandoned items left in the space upon chec-out may be considered damages and students will be billed in accordance with the gravity of the perceived offence.

Gender Identity

HRL makes housing assignments based on gender identity as indicated on the housing application. Students needing special consideration or who would like to talk about their options based on their gender identity are encouraged to contact our office at prhouse@erau.edu or 928-777-3744. We will work collaboratively with students on an individual basis to provide a space that meets their needs.

Guest Information 

Residents are permitted to have guests visit, including overnight. A guest is anyone who does not reside in the particular room in which they are visiting. This includes residents of other buildings, suites or apartments, Embry-Riddle students living off-campus, and people who are not affiliated with the university. Guests must be escorted at all times within the residence halls. This means that guests may not remain in the apartment or suite without their host being present. Having a guest is a privilege, not a right, and this privilege is subject to immediate removal for violation of the guest policy.

Residents are responsible for the actions and behaviors of their guest at all times, and must ensure their guests are aware of and adhere to university policies. The roommates and suitemates must approve all guests. HRL or other university officials reserve the right to ask a guest to leave at any time.

Guests are permitted to stay overnight in the residence halls for up to two nights maximum within a calendar month. Exceptions may be made through the permission of HRL. Guests are not allowed to sleep or spend the night in public lounges. Guests under 18 years of age must be approved by HRL at least 72hours prior to their visit.

Resident students who are hosting guests must respect the rights and privacy of roommates and fellow residents when sponsoring a guest. Actions that may disrupt other residents’ rights are prohibited.

A violation of the guest policy may result in an additional room charge on the student’s account. This means that if a guest stays beyond the registered time of two nights per calendar month, a student may be charged a prorated fee of the room rate and may be referred to the student conduct process.

Guest Parking

Guests must park in residential “Green” lots, and they must have and display a guest parking permit. Guest parking permits are available at the Campus Safety and Security Office located in Building 14.

Health & Safety Inspections (HSIs)

Health and Safety Inspections (HSIs) are conducted to ensure the living environment is safe for all living there. The inspections occur once a month in first-year areas and ontwice a semester in all other areas. Notice of the inspection is posted in the halls prior to HSIs. HRL reserves the right to change the frequency of HSIs. HSIs are performed by teams of two HRL staff members. HSIs involve an open-sight inspection of the entire unit and any appliances provided by HRL. University provided refrigerators, freezers and microwaves will be opened as part of the process. Residents do not need to be present for Health and Safety Inspections.

If rooms or units are in an unsanitary or unsafe condition, resident(s) will be given 48 hours to correct the concern. If the concern is not resolved in the allotted time, outside cleaning services may be brought in to correct the concern at the resident’s expense. Charges for corrective actions may be divided equally among the residents in the space. Repeated concerns may be referred to the student conduct process.

Keys, Locks and Lock-Out Procedures 

Residents are responsible for the proper use and security of all keys issued by HRL. Key duplication or other misuse is strictly prohibited for safety concerns. If a key is lost or lock mechanism is damaged as a result of student abuse or misuse, the student’s account will be charged for repair or replacement.

Residents are expected to lock both their interior and exterior doors at all times and always carry their room key. If locked out during business hours, please go to HRL Office in Haas Commons, Building 73 for assistance. If locked out after business hours or on weekends/holidays, contact HRL after-hours number at 928-777-3790 for assistance.

Any lost keys must be reported to HRL immediately. The student's account will be charged for a lock core change and key replacement based on the area in which the student lives. A temporary key will be issued until the lock core change takes place. Residents will be notified when the core change takes place and new keys must be obtained from HRL. Charges for lock core change and key replacement are dependent on the materials and labor needed:

  • Thumb Butte Modulars and Village Suites: $100.00
  • Village Apartments, Thumb Butte Apartments and Thumb Butte Suites: $150.00
  • Mingus Mountain Complex: $300.00

Broken or bent keys resulting from student misuse will be replaced for a charge of $25.

Laundry Rooms

There are 10 total laundry rooms available for use by current campus residents only: 

  • Mingus Mountain Complex: 1st Floor Hall 1 and 1st Floor Hall 3 
  • Village Complex: Hall 9, next to Simply to Go 
  • Modulars (M100-M200): M200 
  • Thumb Butte Apartments (T1) and Thumb Butte Suites (T2): On each floor, center of the building

All students are encouraged to download and use the CSCGO app. This allows students to pay for laundry directly from their phone, get alerts when their laundry is done, and see what machines are available.

Any clothes left in the laundry room will be considered abandoned and may be disposed of immediately.

If there are problems with the laundry machines, please submit the concern to prhouse@erau.edu or 928-777-3744. To better facilitate and expedite our work order process, please specify the laundry room location, machine type and number, and a brief description of the problem. Refund requests for laundry can be made at the Housing and Residence Life office. If you have a problem with your EagleCard, please contact the EagleCard Office in Building 13, 928-777-3963.

Maintenance & Work Orders

For routine maintenance requests, please contact any RA or HRL at 928-777-3744 or prhouse@erau.edu. When you notify HRL of something that needs to be fixed, please be sure to include the hall, room number, and a detailed description of the concern. Please allow five to seven business days (Monday through Friday) for completion of any non-emergency work request. If a work request has not been completed within seven business days, please contact HRL to inquire about the status. In some cases where parts have to be ordered or outside service agencies need to be called in, it may take more than seven days.

Students can also use the ReADY request form online to submit work orders themselves. For more information on the ReADY system, go to Facilities Management in ERNIE. 

For emergency maintenance requests (those issues that are life-threatening, may cause injury or illness, or seriously affect building integrity or operation), call HRL immediately at 928-777-3744 or the after-hours line at 928-777-3790.

Missing Student

Students who reside in University managed housing are subject to certain missing student notification procedures. Anyone suspecting that a student is missing must immediately notify Campus Safety & Security. An officer will respond to any report and begin an immediate investigation. Campus Safety & Security’s response will include notification to the Prescott Police Department if the investigation confirms the student is missing. If the missing student is under 18 years of age and not emancipated, Embry-Riddle will notify the emergency contact.

As a residential student, you may identify a contact person(s) who the institution will notify if you are determined to be missing. This contact person’s information is communicated to Housing & Residence Life as a part of your housing contract application process. The information provided will be kept confidential by the department and will be accessible only to authorized campus officials and law enforcement involved in the missing person investigation.

Pest Control

Residents are prohibited from using store bought insecticide as it counteracts the insecticide used by the campus. If in need of assistance, contact the Housing & Residence Life office (during business hours), submit a Housing Maintenance Work Request form (located on ERNIE) or contact the RA-on-Duty.

Pets/Animals

As per the Animals on Campus Policy, fish are the only pets/animals allowed in the residence halls (except Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals that are approved and registered through Disability Support Services). If a student is in violation of this policy, they will need to remove the animal from campus immediately and their living unit will be cleaned at a cost to the student of $250.

Room Changes 

Residents may request to make room changes any time after the second week of classes of each semester. Due to overcrowding at the beginning of the semester, along with the philosophy that students be given time to work out any possible roommate conflicts, no room changes will be granted during the first two weeks of each term.

To initiate a room change, all parties involved should schedule a meeting with the HRL senior staff assigned to their area. To set up a meeting with an HRL professional, drop by the office in Building 73 or call 928-777-3744. Failure to follow proper room change procedures may result in a minimum $50 fine and/or additional room charges as deemed appropriate. 

Room Consolidations 

The university reserves the right to change room assignments, assign new residents, reassign current residents, and/or consolidate vacancies at any time in the interest of health, discipline, facilities concerns and/or maximum utilization of residence hall space.

Room Entry Procedures 

Facilities Management, Campus Safety and Security, HRL staff and other university officials are permitted to enter student rooms for completion of work orders, routine checks/inspections, emergencies or to investigate suspected policy violation(s). The following proper room entry procedures are expected to be followed at all times, except for emergencies:

  • Knock on the door three times
  • Announce identity and announce intention to key-in
  • Announce identity once again as the university official enters into the room
  • If no one is present, leave notice that a university official entered

For incidents involving imminent danger or extreme emergency, these procedures may be suspended. If a resident observes that this procedure is not followed, HRL should be notified immediately for corrective action.

Roommate Notification and Reassignments 

When possible, residents will be given 24-hour notice by HRL via university email of receiving a new roommate. Unless a resident is paying for a single room, the room must always be ready for double or triple occupancy. Students who do not keep the room ready for double or triple occupancy may be charged for a single room or relocated.

Room Searches 

Residence halls and other facilities on the Prescott campus are the property of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Therefore, the university reserves the right to enter and/or search residence hall rooms and common areas for the purposes of inventory, fire protection, sanitation, health and safety issues, maintenance, and enforcement of policies and regulations. Inspections for sanitation, routine health and safety, or maintenance are done routinely and may be done with or without advance notice. To preserve the student's privacy, other than routine room inspections, searches are conducted only when reasonable belief has been established that a university/HRL regulation/policy or a state or federal statute has been violated or there is a threat to self or others. These regulations and policies may include but are not limited to alcohol, drugs, sexual misconduct, theft and weapons. After reasonable belief has been established, the procedure for searching a room is as follows:

  • An attempt is made to have a resident of the room present in order to carry out the search. The search is conducted by members of HRL and/or Campus Safety and Security. During a search, there will be at least two staff members present. All searches must be authorized by the Director of HRL or designee.
  • The resident, if present, will be advised that a room search is being conducted, the purpose of the search and the university officials conducting the search. If the resident refuses and reasonable belief has been established, the university will proceed and conduct the search without consent.
  • Illegal substances found during a search may cause university officials to secure the room until law enforcement officials arrive. If other policy violations are found during the course of the search, those items will be confiscated, inventoried and stored in the Campus Safety and Security office. These items may be used as evidence in an administrative and/or student conduct process on the campus and/or for purposes of criminal prosecution.

In incidents of imminent danger or extreme emergency, the preceding procedures may be suspended. If, in the course of the search, possible violations of local laws are discovered, HRL may contact the local police.

Single Rooms (Buy Out a Double) 

Single rooms, when available, are charged at an additional rate for the semester. The current rate for single rooms will be published on the Housing and Residence Life website.

Temperature Control 

The rooms in the Mingus Complex have temperature control for the living unit. The temperature should be set so that all residents are comfortable. HRL recommends the units be set at 71 degrees in the spring/summer and 68 degrees in the fall/winter.

The temperature control for the Thumb Butte Modulars and Village Complex are regulated through HRL. Any tampering with the units may result in referral to the student conduct process and/or damages charged to the student’s account.

Thermostats for the Thumb Butte Apartments and Suites are set at 71 degrees in the spring/summer and 68 degrees in the fall/winter. Residents are able to adjust the temperature in their unit +3 degrees using the in-unit thermostats.

Vacancies

Unless otherwise indicated, all rooms are double occupancy. If after the room change and consolidation period a vacancy exists in a room, the Department considers that bed space available for use. It is imperative that vacant spaces are kept clean, empty and move-in-ready to welcome a new resident. This includes leaving all university-provided furniture clear of belongings. When possible, the Department will notify residents of new roommates, however, there may be times when notification does not occur. Residents may not deliberately intimidate, reject and/or discourage potential roommates from occupying the vacancy.

Vending Machines 

If you have problems with the vending machines in any of the residence halls, please call the Business Office at 928-777-3764.

Windows

Residents cannot remove rivets/pins and/or screens from windows. Rivets are provided for safety and security reasons. Entering/exiting via windows, hanging items outside of the window, and throwing or disposing of objects through the window is prohibited. Decorations cannot cover and/or be seen in windows from the exterior.
