Good Afternoon,

Earlier this week, you received an email regarding Health & Safety Inspections. As a reminder, between September 6-11 all spaces will be entered for a visual inspection of student rooms to look for health and safety hazards/violations.

Below you'll find a quick reminder of the basic points of H&S inspections, but you can read the entire notice here. 

Additionally, we ask that you complete your Occupancy Verification no later than Wednesday, September 7 via the Housing Portal.

These processes allow us to ensure your safety within your community for the coming semester and we appreciate your cooperation and timely response.
