Fall 2020 Health and Safety
Reminders and Self-Inspection
Good Morning

As we move into the second full month here on campus, it is important that we maintain a focus on health and safety. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our staff will not be completing our traditional inspections. Instead, we are asking that each student take a few minutes to review the checklist below. 

Fan Coil Units
  • Ensure that no items are blocking the base of your unit.
  • Ensure that no items are covering/blocking the vents on top of your unit. 
  • Ensure your thermostat remains in the 70-74 degree range. 

Windows
  • Ensure your windows can easily close and lock. 
  • As we move into cooler weather, it is important that your windows remain closed and locked to prevent any facility damage. 

Exit/Egress
  • Ensure a clear path of egress to your exit - both in your room and your living space.
  • Ensure there is nothing on the floor that could create a trip or fire hazard. 

Fire Safety
  • Ensure that all fire safety equipment (e.g. sprinkler heads, alarms, and strobes) remain uncovered and are not tampered with. 
  • Ensure that there are no flammable items in your living space. 

Trash
  • Ensure trash is placed in a can and emptied regularly. 

Prohibited Items

Shared Spaces
  • Ensure you check any shared spaces in your living space for this same list of items. 

If there are any concerns in your living space, please submit a work order to Facilities and Campus Services at 336-758-4255 or workorders.wfu.edu.

If you have questions or concerns that need to be addressed with the Office of Residence Life and Housing, please contact us at [email protected] so we can route your concerns to the correct staff. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this process! As always, please remember to follow all COVID-19 policies and expectations so that we can continue our time together on campus.
Best -
