Damage, Lost Keys, Lost Meal Cards

The University expects that you will take responsible care of the campus premises used and restore them to the condition you found them.  Any repairs needed for damage done to the premises will be billed directly to your program.  Keys lost or not returned at check out will be assessed a "lost key" fee.  Keys returned by mail or in person after the departure date will still result in charges being assessed.  Meal card loss will result in a replacement fee equal to the number of meals remaining on the lost card.
