Should it be discovered that a student’s bed or required room configuration has been modified in any way, the University will enter, remove any prohibited
items, and return the bedroom furniture to the approved setup. In the event any part of the bed is found missing, uninstalled, or damaged, including but not
limited to the safety guard rail, ladder, stabilizer bar, and bed spring, the University will reinstall, repair, and/or replace it.
If violations of the furniture polices and guidelines are found within an occupied unit, and the University has to re-set and/or re-install furniture or furniture
parts, the student(s) will be charged for labor associated with the re-installation, repair, and replacement, and may undergo the student conduct process.
Additional Bed Guidelines
• Bed risers of any material (e.g., concrete blocks (cinder block), bricks, woodblocks, PVC pipe, etc.) are prohibited from raising furniture off the floor.
Raising a bed off the floor to increase its overall height or to increase under-bed storage jeopardizes the bed’s stability, no longer making it safe for use.
• For bottom bunks, there is a pre-determined standard height between the floor and the bottom of the bed frame that is intended to provide ample
under-bed storage without the need for climbing aids. This pre-determined height is set at approximately 19” and is when the bed is set on the 5th
and 6th pins. This is referred to as the standard residential bed height.
• In the Fall, before students arrive on campus, bed frames are inspected and set to meet our standard residential bed height.
Bunked and Lofted Beds
Due to the layout of spaces, some student rooms require bunked and/or lofted bed configurations. If you have a bunked or lofted bed, the installation and
utilization of bed guardrails and ladders are required for upper bunk beds and lofted beds. Students are responsible for following safety guidelines and
policies associated with the various university bed configurations. These policies and guidelines include bed placement, installation and utilization of bed,
bed rails and ladders, procedures for getting into and out of bed, and fire safety precautions. University staff or designee, such as Resident Advisors and
Residence Hall Coordinators, may not waive or alter these guidelines, as authority has not been granted.
