12 The Washington Center • Code of Conduct Spring 2025 charge to the individual(s) responsible. TWC is not responsible for damage incurred to personal property through the use or misuse of washers and dryers. • Vacuum Cleaners, Mops, Brooms, and Dust Pans: Apartments are provided with vacuum cleaners, mops, brooms and dust pans. As with all other housewares items, vacuum cleaners, brooms and dustpans present at move-in should be left in the apartment after check-out. Items missing from the room at check-out will be assessed in damages, which will be billed to the occupants or responsible parties (as available). If a vacuum is not working properly, check the vacuum cleaner bag. If the bag is full, residents are responsible for emptying or replacing the bag. Internet Service: The Washington Center provides high speed internet service through an internet service provider in every apartment. The Washington Center is not responsible for any loss of service due to technical problems or weather. TWC will work with management and/or service providers to ensure a prompt response to any problems, but residents are responsible for contacting the internet service provider in cases of outage or other service issues within their individual apartments. Participants are not permitted to contract for any other services, including but not limited to, extra internet. Adding additional services for the apartment may result in fines assessed to each student residing in the apartment. In addition, residents of the apartment will be held responsible for paying any charges associated with the additional services, the disconnection of the additional services, and/or the return of any equipment associated with said services. Check-out Procedures: All participants must check out and leave apartment units within the time frame that is selected on their designated check-out date. • It is expected that housing facilities, including public areas, will be kept in good condition and used in a careful, safe, and proper manner, and that participants will abide by The Washington Center's policies. The condition of a resident's apartment is assessed prior to check-in and again after the residents move out. Residents are responsible for reviewing the condition of their living spaces by viewing the Apartment Inventory sheet on Canvas and submitting any maintenance items/missing inventory items via the Community Portal (https://twc.starrezhousing.com/StarRezPortalx). All apartments and common areas in the housing facilities must be returned to the same condition in which they were found at check-in. • Failure to properly check out will result in an Improper Check-out fine. Improper check-out includes the following: failure to review and adhere to the posted check out materials; failure to check out prior to the announced deadline or timeframe without prior approval or extension (a fine is assessed per hour after deadline); or failure to leave the apartment in satisfactory move-in condition (broom swept). Participants will be billed for the cost to replace any fob/keys, building passes, and/or parking passes not returned prior to check- out and departure. Common Area Access/Use: Classrooms and Auditorium Space: The classrooms and auditorium are reserved by Housing and Community Life for academic and programming needs. Classrooms are otherwise locked. No food or drink is permitted in the classrooms. If TWC makes classrooms available for student utilization, participants interested in reserving a space for group projects, study hours, etc. must reserve the space by contacting the Housing and Community Life office (housing@twc.edu). Participants using classroom space for personal or group meetings take on responsibility for the cleanliness of the room including sanitizing or disinfecting after use with provided materials, as well as the equipment in each room (such as computers, chairs, tables, etc.). Any damage to classrooms will be the responsibility of the individual(s) who reserved the room. Computers, Smart Boards and other electronic equipment in the room are not for participant use. Fitness Center and Computer Lab: The Fitness Center and Computer Lab, both located on the P1 level of the RAF, are accessible for all TWC residential participants; hours of operation are posted in the space.
