Search and Entry Policy

The university reserves the right to enter a student’s apartment or room to check conditions, perform repairs and maintenance, conduct pest control operations, and respond to emergencies. In addition, when the university believes there is sufficient reason, it may search a student’s room or apartment without notice for the purpose of (1) investigating suspected violations of the university code of conduct and/or city, state, or federal law, or (2) investigating circumstances which require immediate action. No search shall be carried out without prior approval of the President of the university. A witness shall accompany the official conducting the search.
