Things to remember
- Do not tamper with or hang items from the smoke detectors and/or fire sprinkler head.
- Only use CommandTM hooks, tacky putty, or painter's tape to hang decorative lights and other items.
- Indiana University does not accept liability for personal belongings, so residents must secure their own renter's insurance. GradGuard, an authorized insurance provider for IU, offers insurance quotes at go.iu.edu/getinsured.
- Trash and recycling bins are provided in all rooms. To explore different bed options for your room and make appointments for bed rearrangement, visit our vendor's website at bedloft.com. The mattresses provided are extra-long twin size and have a height of 20 inches from the floor.
- Use surge protectors and connect them directly to wall outlets. Avoid connecting extension cords and surge protectors in a series. Ensure that all electrical appliances are UL listed, have thermostatic controls if necessary, and are rated at 700 (6 amps) or lower.
- Furniture cannot be removed or stored outside of the room.
