Lock blocks may be placed in all suites and/or unoccupied rooms of suites during break periods.

A notice will be placed in the student’s mailbox to inform the resident(s) of what action needs to take place to regain entry to their room/suite. Attempts to gain access to a suite or room while a lock block is in place may result in damage to the door or lock. All damage will be charged to the responsible party and student conduct l action will apply as well.
Residents who are locked out should contact an RA. If an RA cannot be contacted, the resident should contact an RD. If an RD cannot be contacted, the resident should contact Public Safety at 585-292-2912. Student ID must be presented at the time of the lockout. Housing and Residence Life staff members will only let residents into their assigned room. Staff members will not give residents access to other resident’s rooms. Staff will not unlock doors for guests. Upon the assistance for each lockout by a staff member, the resident will be required to verify that they are in possession of their keys. Residents who cannot produce their keys may be charged for a lock change. Lockout assistance will be completed at the earliest time feasible to the Housing and Residence Life staff or Public Safety. Leaving room/suite doors unlocked is dangerous and also places all suitemates’ belongings at risk.

Residents must attend mandatory hall/floor meetings with their Resident Assistant and/or Resident Director. Failure to attend these meetings could result in missing out on valuable information and it will be the responsibility of the resident to get the information. Residents will be held accountable for any information disseminated. Many meetings are not mandatory; however, it is highly recommended that residents attend all meetings on their floor and for the hall so that they are aware of all information that is being provided for their benefit.
