Residential Life Information & Policies

ON CAMPUS LIVING REQUIREMENTS

Iowa Wesleyan University is firmly committed to the philosophy and practice of a residential University. We believe that the opportunity to live and study in the community is a primary and essential element of such a philosophy. The University stresses a campus living environment of civility and respect that fosters student learning and success. In support of the mission here at Iowa Wesleyan, all full-time (12 hours/semester), unmarried students, who do not live with parents at their primary residence within 60 miles of campus are required to live in IW University residential facilities for the time in which they are students at Iowa Wesleyan.

Exceptions to this residency requirement may be made by meeting at least one of the following criteria:

• 23 years of age or older on the first day of classes in the fall semester
• Married
• Students living with dependent children
• Military veterans with at least two years active military duty
• Students fulfilling their student teaching requirements if placed beyond a reasonable driving distance.
  

IOWA WESLEYAN RESIDENCE LIFE

AIR-CONDITIONED ROOMS IN ST AND MICKIBBIN HALLS
Due to the limited number of air-conditioned rooms in ST and McKibbin, priority will be given to students who need an air-conditioned room for medical needs. Once the medical needs have been met, the rooms with AC units, and then reviewed and assigned based on seniority and application dates. Students who are assigned a room with an AC unit, each student in the room will be charged $100.00 per semester.

ALCOHOL POLICY
Regardless of age, students are not permitted to possess, consume or distribute alcohol on campus and within the residence hall.

Being in the presence, in possession or being under the influence of alcohol is in direct violation of the IW Alcohol Policy. Students found in violation of the alcohol policy will be required to dispose of all alcohol present during the incident at the time of the incident. If a student does not comply with the directive given, an alcohol sanction will be applied and the student may be sent through the Student Conduct Process.

ALCOHOL / DRUG SEARCH AND SANCTION GUIDELINES AND POLICY

Search Guidelines:

Residence Life staff may search a room for alcohol, controlled substances, illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia when one or more of the following criteria is present:

• Visible alcohol, illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia
• The smell of alcohol or illegal drugs (ex: odor of marijuana)
• Intoxicated behavior
• Someone is vomiting or showing other signs of alcohol poisoning or serious drug reaction
• Noise, sounds, language associated with alcohol or drug use
• A reliable complaint of the presence, consumption or distribution occurring
  

A search of alcohol, illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia consists of looking in the following locations within the room/suite:

• Student rooms
• All refrigerators
• Drawers
• Closets
• Bathrooms
• Under beds
• Any other location deemed necessary for review by a Residential Life staff member with probable cause

• 3rd violation: Fine of $200 and a possible room change or removal from campus housing.
  

Sanctions for Illegal Substances, Drug Use and Drug Paraphernalia:

At any time, a drug violation can result in suspension or dismissal. However, as an educational environment, when mutually beneficial for the student involved and the campus community and environment, the following sanctions will be utilized.

• 1st Violation: Fine of $150. Student is placed on probation and/or other sanctions as assigned. Failed future drug tests would be considered a second offense.
• 2nd Violation: Fine of $200. Student is placed on probation and/or other sanctions as assigned.
• 3rd Violation: If remaining enrolled following Panel Presentation, a third offense results in suspension or dismissal from the University.
  

Communication with Parents / Legal Guardians and athletic coaches is always possible due to concerns of health and safety associated with alcohol consumption and illegal drug use. Your FERPA request does not supersede the ability to contact Parent(s)/Guardian(s) or athletic coaches.

ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG INTERVENTIONS & TREATMENT POLICY

The policy of Iowa Wesleyan University reflects the belief that alcohol and other forms of drug addiction are serious illnesses which are usually preceded by a history of substance abuse with inappropriate and destructive behavior patterns. In view of this, the University is committed to assist any member of the student community whose behavior shows signs of alcohol/drug abuse or addiction. This policy is established to provide the means for the University to identify and refer students who suffer from alcohol or other drug abuse or addictions to treatment alternatives.

Intervention is intended where alcohol or other drug use is a contributing factor in one or more of the following:

1. Disruptive and/or nuisance behavior
2. Excessive intoxication
3. Civil or criminal offenses
4. Destruction of property
5. Non-attendance at class
6. Deterioration of academic performance
7. Sexual assault or harassment in which alcohol or other drug use was a factor
   

Where alcohol or other drug abuse is suspected, any interested party having first-hand knowledge of the situation or event in question may refer the student to the Office of Student Development, wherein an informal assessment on the merits of the referral will be made. If the assessment suggests further action, every effort will be made by the Office of Student Development to encourage voluntary cooperation from the student with the intervention and assessment processes recommended by the University.
Students, who by their behavior, are uncooperative, or who so request, will be granted an informal hearing to review the assessment recommended by the Office of Student Development. The hearing, should it be required, will focus on the specific behavioral and/or “use” problems that have been observed and reported. The student will be given an opportunity to respond to these reports, after which the Vice President for Student Development or their designee will make a final decision as to whether a formal assessment/evaluation for substance abuse by a substance abuse professional is required. The student’s failure to attend the hearing, or to follow through with the formal assessment/evaluation (if so required) or any subsequent treatment recommendations made by a substance abuse professional, will result with the student being withdrawn from classes at Iowa Wesleyan. Re-entry into the University will be permitted only upon successful completion of substance abuse treatment and establishment of an ongoing recovery program such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous.
When, in the judgment of a staff person, a student is transported for medical attention or monitoring in response to alcohol or other chemical use, the involved student will be responsible for any costs incurred.

BICYCLE POLICY
Students may use bicycles on the sidewalks, understanding that pedestrians have the right of way. High quality locks and chain are recommended since Iowa Wesleyan is not responsible for stolen property. Residents are to store their bicycles on the storage available outside the residence halls. Residents may not store their bicycles in residence halls, hallways, stairways, bathrooms or any community spaces. If a bicycle is found in any of the prohibited spaces/areas mentioned above, a fine may be added to the resident’s account. Any bicycles left on campus at the start of summer, becomes property of Iowa Wesleyan and will be disposed of at the discretion of the university.

CLASS CREDIT REQUIREMENT
While University housing is normally restricted to full-time students, part-time students may request permission to live in university housing and is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the Office of Student Development for inquiries.

DRUG POLICY
The possession, use or distribution of any controlled substances, illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia are strictly prohibited on campus or within the residence halls. Being in the presence of controlled substances or illegal drugs, regardless of possession or use, is considered a violation of the drug policy. Circumstances may warrant violations of the drug policy for also being in the presence of drug paraphernalia rather than possessing it.

Zero Tolerance: The University refuses to accept drug use, possession or distribution of any controlled substances. To that end, strict application of this policy is always expected.

If a student will not comply with a directive to allow a search, a drug violation sanction will be applied. See “Code of Conduct, Section 19” for additional information regarding IW policies regarding illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia.

HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF ALCOHOL & DRUGS
Alcohol is the most abused drug in society as well as on university campuses. Alcohol is directly involved in many injuries, assaults and the majority of deaths in people under age 25. Other commonly abused illegal drugs include marijuana, cocaine, stimulants, hallucinogens, depressants, narcotics, steroids and inhalants. Legal drugs such as caffeine, nicotine, over- the-counter and prescription drugs also have wide use and associated health risks.
Health risks of using alcohol or other drugs include both physical and psychological effects. The health consequences of drugs depend on the frequency, duration and intensity of use. For all drugs, there is a risk of overdose. Overdose can result in coma, convulsions, psychosis or death. Combinations of certain drugs, such as alcohol and barbiturates, can be lethal.
The purity and strength of doses of illegal drugs are uncertain.
Continued use of substances can lead to tolerance (requiring more and more of a drug to get the same effect), dependence (physical or psychological need) or withdrawal (a painful, difficult and dangerous symptom when stopping use of drugs). Long-term chronic use of drugs can lead to malnutrition, organ damage to the body and psychological problems.
The risk of AIDS and other diseases increases if drugs are injected. The consumption of alcohol or drugs by pregnant women may cause abnormalities in babies. For more information about the risks associated with the use of alcohol and other drugs, individuals may contact the campus nurse or the Counseling Services office.

IMMUNIZATION POLICY

Appropriate proof/health forms/documentation/waivers from a medical practitioner of the following immunizations and tests must be received by the campus nurse at Iowa Wesleyan before moving into the residence halls or attending classes.

MMR:

• Proof and date of having had measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), or
• Provide documentation of immunization for two doses of MMR after 1980, or
• Written documentation from your doctor that you should not receive the MMR immunization at this time.
  Students unable to comply with one of the above (and born after 1956) must be re-immunized at the student’s expense.
  

Mantoux Skin Test: Students are also required to have completed a Mantoux skin test for tuberculosis within a year prior to their arrival on campus and must provide verification of any follow-up treatment if necessary.

Religious exemption: A religious exemption may be granted to the student only if immunization conflicts with a genuine and sincere religious belief, and not based merely on philosophical, scientific moral, personal, or medical opposition to immunizations. A certificate of immunization exemption for religious reasons shall contain, the applicant’s last name, first name, and date of birth and shall bear the signature of the applicant

Health forms/documentation/waivers must be received by the campus nurse at Iowa Wesleyan University before moving into the residence halls or attending classes.

OFF CAMPUS HOUSING PROCCESS AND APPLICATION

An off-campus housing application should be submitted to the Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Residence Life if you meet the off-campus consideration criteria and have a desire/need to live off campus. To submit an application for off-campus housing, please send an email to the Office of Student Development.
Requests that do not fall under the exceptions are reviewed by the Committee of Student Development. The Committee is chaired by the Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Residence Life and meets monthly.
You will be expected to provide the required documentation in order to be approved for off campus living, whether that be medical, or any other documents asked for by the Committee. Parent(s)/guardian(s) of the student requesting to live at home must submit statements of documentation to certify that their student meets the criteria and is, therefore, eligible to reside off-campus.
If the University discovers that the student is residing off-campus but does not meet one of the above criteria, and/or has submitted false documentation, the University reserves the right to bill for room and board. Students living off-campus without official approval from the Committee are also subject to referral to the Student Conduct process.
Off-campus housing applications are due by July 15 for the Fall semester, and November 15 for the Spring semester. Application submitted after the above dates are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

ON CAMPUS LIVING RESIDENCY RESTRICTIONS:
Graduate Students:

Graduate students are typically not allowed to reside in campus housing. Graduate students who wish to reside on campus must request permission by contacting the Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Residence Life in the Office of Student Development.

International Students:

The experience of spending a semester or more in the United States is significantly enhanced by a full immersion in the campus experience. Therefore, it is IW policy that all international students will live in our residence halls or their entire enrollment, where they will interact with domestic students and participate in many University activities, exposing them to the breadth of American culture and life. Special exemption to this policy can be made on a case-by-case basis and international students interested in living off-campus must submit an off- campus housing application to the Office of Student Development.

POLICE INVOLVMENT

• When illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia are found by any University staff it is reasonable to assume drugs are present.
• The University reserves the right to involve the local police department when they feel it is appropriate.
• Law enforcement involvement does not eliminate the Student Conduct Process from occurring. If law enforcement is involved, the legal process and the University conduct process will run concurrently.
• The University collaborates and cooperates with local law enforcement agencies such as the Mount Pleasant Police Department to enforce drug laws and may perform random drug sweeps at any point during the academic year in coordination with the Office of Student Development and the Provost.

The University maintains twenty-eight handicapped parking spaces. Access to handicapped parking spaces is regulated through the State of Iowa. University officials and local police authorities may ticket violators in these spaces. The violation charge is $100.

Only city officials are eligible to deal with tickets given by local police. Cars may be towed away at the owner’s expense for these reasons listed below:

• Cars parked in yellow zone, emergency point or fire lane.
• Cars that damage University property.
• Cars left abandoned during the summer.
• Cars that have received three previous violations within any academic year.
• Cars determined by local law enforcement to be a hazard to the public.
  

HEALTH AND SAFETY INSPECTIONS
Residence Life staff will conduct health and safety inspection for all spaces in residence halls, apartments and houses. Health and safety checks will be conducted in resident rooms each semester. Checks will be announced at least 48 hours prior to the first day of inspections. All inspections are conducted for the purpose of compliance with university health and safety standards and policies. Inspections are conducted by two Residence Life Staff assigned to the specific area and are conducted at least once a semester.

HOUSING OPENING & CLOSING

Check-In:
At check-in, the student will be asked to thoroughly inspect the room/apartment and note any conditions or discrepancies on the Room Condition Report (RCR). The student will be held responsible for any damage(s) or change(s) in the condition of the room/apartment not previously indicated on the RCR. Students who move in without completing the check-in and inventory process properly may be fined. Students will have 24 hours to return the completed RCR to their respective RA or Office of Student Development. Failure to turn in your RCR will result in a blank RCR with your name on it being used at the time you move out. A blank RCR indicates there was nothing wrong with your room at the time you moved into the room. At the beginning of each school year the building card keys and room keys are distributed by the Office of Student Development. Failure to check-in properly may also result in a $50 improper check-in fee.

Check-Out:
All students must schedule an appointment with your RA or another RA in your building/area 24 hours in advance of your departure. Students are required to check-out of their room/’apartment within 24 hours of completing their last scheduled final or when the building closes. The RA will then go to your room with you and fill out the remaining portions of your Room Condition Report that was completed upon your check-in. Your room must be clean to the standard it was at check-in, furniture arranged as it was at check-in, and all personal belongings removed. After completion of the RCR form, the RA will collect your key(s). The area coordinator will walk through your room/apartment once all students have left and determine any charges. The RA does not determine charges. Charges may be assessed in situations where damages have been incurred over and above normal wear and tear, furniture is missing, or the room is not clean. A detailed assessment of cleaning and damage charges will be made by our maintenance and custodial staff, which could result in the adjustment of estimated charges at the time of check-out. Failure to check out with an RA will result in a $50.00 improper check-out fee.

HOUSING ASSIGNMENTS
First year students are typically required to share a room with a roommate. Students may request a specific roommate when they fill out their housing application. Room assignments are made on a year-to-year basis by the Office of Student Development.

Returning students are provided an opportunity to select their room for the fall during spring semester through their housing application or they can declare Squatters’ Rights, in the Office of Student Development, which allows the resident to remain in their currently assigned room for the next academic school year. Students failing to take advantage of that opportunity will be assigned a room in the same manner as new, incoming students. The University reserves the option to assign rooms as deemed necessary and/or appropriate for the benefit of the University or the student(s). Changes to housing assignments can be made at any time for health, safety, or administrative reasons by the Office of Student Development.

Single Room Requests – Double as a Single & Physical Singles:
A double room with only one occupant is called a Double as a Single. A room designed to house just one person is called a Single. Priority for these rooms is based on availability, classification, and seniority factors which are taken into consideration during the Returning Student Housing Sign-up. Only for extenuating circumstances may freshmen be permitted to maintain a Double as a Single or Single room. Students requesting this option must consult with the Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Residence Life. In the event a single is offered, the student may need to demonstrate the ability to pay and/or pay the additional fee before the single is granted.

KEYS: ROOM KEYS, ACCESS CARDS & EXTERIOR DOORS
All residence hall, apartment and house keys are the property of Iowa Wesleyan and may not be duplicated. Residents are prohibited from loaning their residence hall access card or room key to another person for any reason. If found to have done so, that resident will be referred to the Student Conduct system. In addition, a student found in possession of residence hall keys or an access card not issued in their name is in violation of the Code of Conduct and referral to the Student Conduct process may occur.
Access card locks are located on all the primary exterior doors of the residence halls. The holder of the access card is responsible for individuals who enter the hall in their presence and for making sure that the door is closed and locked upon their entry to the residence hall. DO NOT PROP OPEN LOCKED EXTERIOR DOORS.

A fee will be assessed if a student loses their ID card or turns in an ID card at check-out that was not assigned to him/her. A new card key will be issued at no charge if the card is broken and turned in to the Office of Student Development.

While looking for the missing key(s), the student may use the spare key for a period of 24 hours. If the key(s) are not found, the lock will be changed and the student will be charged as follows:

Lost or Unreturned Key Fines:

• S-T, McKibbin, Juckette Hall, Apartments & Houses: $75.00
• Nemitz: $150.00
  Students who find and return their lost key within 72 hours of being billed will have that charge reversed.

Identification Cards:

All full-time students are issued a permanent IW identification card. Students are required to carry their ID at all times when on campus and present it upon request. This card serves as official identification of student status, allows for admission to athletic and fine arts events and also allows for entrance to the University dining hall for those students who have meal plans.

Lost/Damaged/Unreturned ID Card:

• The replacement fee for an ID card is $50.00

Students with special dietary needs prescribed by a physician should consult with the Food Service Director of Wesley’s Dining Hall. Students can fill out a meal plan exemption form at the Office of Student Development if they feel that their needs cannot be met by Sodexo. The University will also attempt to give special consideration to those students whose recognized religion requires a special diet.

MISSING PERSON POLICY
In compliance with the “Higher Education Opportunity Act, P.L. 110-315, sec. 488, 122 Stat. 3301 (2008)” Missing Student Notification Policy and Procedures, it is the policy of the Office of Student Development to actively investigate any report of a missing resident who is enrolled at the University and residing in on-campus housing.

Each resident, upon applying for housing, are required to identify the name and contact number of the individual(s), a primary contact and secondary contact, to be notified in case of an emergency or in the event that the resident is reported missing. In the event the resident is under the age of 18 or is not emancipated, the University is required to have the primary emergency contact be a custodial parent or guardian.

If a member of the University community has reason to believe that a student is missing, Student Development should be notified. If upon investigation by Student Development, the resident has been determined to be missing for at least 24 hours, the following will occur. Student Development will contact the resident’s designated emergency contact and will inform the appropriate law enforcement agency within the next 24 hours. Investigation will continue in collaboration with law enforcement officers as appropriate.

MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION & REGULATIONS

Parking tickets will be issued to students and employees that violate the university parking policy.

The Human Resources Office will be responsible for distributing the hanging placards to the employees and Student Life will be responsible for distributing the parking stickers to the students. Both offices will keep and will maintain the list for cross-referencing stored on a shared drive that allows access by Student Life, Physical Plant, and Human Resources.

In order to obtain a parking sticker, students will need to complete the Student Vehicle Registration Form online indicating their personal and vehicle information. This form does require a signature, acknowledging that you have read and agree to the terms of the university parking policy. To obtain the form, please email the Office of Student Development at [email protected]

Fines for parking violations will be $15 ($75 for unauthorized parking in a disabled or fire lane) per occurrence. Violations that result in towing will be at the vehicle owner’s expense.

Students who receive excessive tickets will have their vehicle towed without warning and may be referred to the Office of Student Development to go through the student conduct process.

Immediate towing, at the vehicles owner’s expense will be enforced to unauthorized vehicles parking in disabled spaces, in fire lanes, on the campus lawn or parking to block another vehicle. Vehicles will excessive tickets are also subject to towing.

Vehicles parking in the wrong lots (i.e. they have a sticker/placard but are not in a lot designated for their type) will be assessed a fine.

Vehicles with no sticker/placard parked in a designated lot will be subject to a fine.

No fines will be assessed to visitor vehicles parked in designated visitor spots or undesignated spots located in the lot south of Ruble Arena and the PEO building.

All parking citations must be paid within 30 days of the date issued to the cashier at the Office of Student Financial Services. Parking citations unpaid by students will be added to the students account and will fall under the same set of rules as all other charges on the student’s account.

It is the responsibility of each student to insure their personal property and vehicle(s) against theft, loss or damage. This type of coverage may fall under a homeowner’s policy or renter’s insurance. Students should determine family policy coverage, if applicable, through consultation with an insurance agent. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain Renter’s Insurance if personal property brought into the residence halls is not covered under a homeowner’s or other policy. Any stolen property/items should contact the Mount Pleasant Police Department.

Abandon Property Policy:

For purposes of safety, sanitation and general upkeep, the University reserves the option to maintain, make repairs, and replace damaged or obsolete furniture or furnishings in the residence hall rooms anytime during the school year. An effort will be made to gain entrance to a student’s room in his/her presence but will perform the work regardless, if necessary. Any time the maintenance staff is inspecting, cleaning and repairing rooms, reasonable care with respect to the loss or theft of personal property shall be exercised, including locking a room upon departure. Beyond exercising reasonable care, however, the University will not assume responsibility for items of a personal nature that are lost, damaged, or stolen. After performing service, residence hall rooms will be locked regardless of whether or not the room was locked upon entry.
• Vacation/Break Periods — maintenance and safety checks of rooms will be made during the vacation periods. Further notice may not be given of the intent to check the rooms over these breaks. The University may remove, without the owner’s permission, objects or materials which constitute a violation of university regulations or which, in the judgment of the staff, constitute a safety or sanitation hazard.

Staff will not always be able to identify the speaker through a closed door. Anyone in the room granting permission to enter will be presumed to be giving permission on behalf of the residents of that room.
• Persistent, disturbing noise — out of consideration for neighboring residents when an unattended persistent disturbing noise is occurring within the room (including but not limited to a ringing alarm clock, an unattended stereo or television, etc.).
