Safekeeping of Keys

Residents are responsible for keeping their own keys safe and should never leave keys in locks or lend them to anyone. Loss of keys must be reported to the Accommodation Office immediately.

Replacements issued will be charged for (these are security keys and are expensive). Keys must not be thrown from windows as electronic fobs will suffer damage.

Changing Rooms

Students must not change rooms or houses without the consent of the Accommodation Office. Any breach of this rule will automatically attract a £50 penalty.

Security

For their own security, students should not leave doors on the latch and are advised to keep the front door locked at all times.

For safety reasons students should be aware of the need to keep the Residences secure at all times and to report immediately anything of a suspicious or potentially dangerous nature.

Firearms

Students are forbidden to keep firearms (including imitation fire arms, toys, props, air-guns and "BB" guns) or any dangerous weapons in the Residences.

Drugs and Dangerous Substances

The misuse of drugs or any dangerous substances will be subject to severe sanctions, including immediate exclusion from the Residences.
