Community Safety Inspections (Feb 15 - Mar 15)
RA Staff will be conducting Community Safety Inspections (CSI) from February 15 to March 15. Residential Life & Housing conducts these inspections three times per year to ensure the safety of our community. During these inspections, the RAs will enter student rooms to check for any potential concerns which may pose a danger to the residential community. This commonly includes fire hazards (candles, extension cords, illegal appliances, etc.) and damages to the room that have not been addressed by Facilities staff (leaks, broken windows, etc).
While inspecting rooms, our staff is obligated to address any violations that they observe. Each year, the majority of these violations are a result of students possessing items that are prohibited in the residence halls (i.e. microwaves, space heaters, candles, etc.). Students are strongly encouraged to review the list of prohibited items at http://barnard.edu/reslife/policies/community_safety_inspections.html.
If you happen to have items that are prohibited, please be sure to remove these items immediately by either sending them home or donating them to a local charity. You will want to make sure do this prior to the inspections start, as Staff members are required to confiscate any prohibited items they may come across. Once an item has been confiscated, it cannot be returned to the student.
We would like to thank you for working with us to make our community a safer place for everybody to live. Your cooperation and help with conducting the CSIs is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions about CSIs, please feel free to reach out to your RA, Associate Director, or the Residential Life & Housing Office. We're happy to answer any questions that you may have!

Residence Hall Check Out for Graduating Seniors
It's never too early to start planning for Graduation and residence hall check-out at the end of the year. The Barnard ceremony will be held on Monday, May 17, and the Columbia ceremony will be held on Tuesday, May 18.
The residence hall check-out deadline for graduating seniors will be 5pm on Wednesday, May 19. Extensions are not possible, due to the residence halls being used for Summer & Conference housing.
Students who wish to stay later than 5pm on Wednesday, May 19, may sign up for Summer Housing (application information will be distributed later this month). Please note this would likely require relocation to another room for a summer assignment.
Student who wish to request an extension for observance of Shavuot should contact Residential Life & Housing as soon as possible. Please note that students who receive an extension will be required to move on Friday morning, May 14, to a temporary double room (along with other students in interim housing) in order to facilitate cleaning of the residence halls for Summer & Conference Housing. The cost of the extension will be $100 per night.
If you are planning on graduating later than this May (or summer), we encourage you to update your graduation date with the Registrar's Office as soon as possible. If you are planning on continuing through the Fall 2010 semester (and/or longer) and wish to live on campus, please be in touch with Residential Life & Housing in order to request eligibility to participate in the Spring Room Selection process.
We hope that you have a productive semester as you prepare for Graduation!

Review your dorm room / Win a $25 Amazon gift certificate
Thanks to feedback from last year's Room Selection survey, Residential Life & Housing has created a Room Review website (i.e. a CULPA for dorm rooms). Hopefully, these reviews will help students to make educated decisions while preparing for Room Selection.
Students are encouraged to submit a review, photo, or video of their room at http://roomselection.barnardreslife.org/ (even if they are not participating in Room Selection). Students may also review rooms they previously lived in.
On April 5, Residential Life & Housing will randomly select 4 reviews and the writers will each receive a $25 Amazon gift certificate.
Information about Room Selection will be available later this month. Dates for Info Sessions, Registration, Selection Days, etc, are available at http://roomselection.barnardreslife.org/calendar/.
