Work Order Response
You will not be charged for routine repairs.
Work orders are completed as promptly as possible and are prioritized by the seriousness of the repair needed. Some repairs may not be made immediately.
If you have a roommate or live in an apartment, please let them know if you submit a work order so they are aware staff will be entering to address the issue.
All staff who respond to your work order will wear an identification badge.
When your room is entered, staff will always leave a notice on the door to indicate when and why they entered.
Staff will not move your personal items to complete the work. Please move personal items away from the area(s) where the repair is needed.
If staff come to complete the work and you or your roommate turn them away, they will return one more time. If staff are continuously denied access, the work order will be canceled.
