KEEP CALM, Its Just the Heater!
With the cold weather bearing down on us again, many of you will be turning on your heater for warmth. If you smell something burning when you do, its ok! The coils accumulate dust and that smell is it burning . Just open your windows and let your room air out. Next time you turn it on it wont smell so bad.

How to prevent being fined

The following are some tips to help you reduce the chances of becoming a recipient of a fine.

Do not remove the window screens, or use the windows as a method of entrance/exit. Do not prop open any exterior locked residence hall doors. For the safety of you and others in the residence halls, do not prop open any residence hall doors because you don't know whom you may be letting in! Do not loan your keys to anyone and do not attach your keys to your University ID. Letting someone else use your key can be considered an unattended guest.
