For specific Active Shooter Responses for your residence hall, please login to Ramport and navigate to the Housing & Dining channel under Campus Life.
    2. Run Concept: If you can escape safely, RUN! It is important when out in public to take notice of where your closest exits are.
    3. Hide Concept: If escape is not an option, HIDE! Find solid objects to hide behind. If possible, find a safe room and barricade yourself. Close blinds, turn off lights, silence cell phones and get as close to the floor as you can. Give the impression the room is empty and unoccupied.
    4. Fight Concept: If running or hiding is not an option, your last resort may be FIGHT! Working together or alone, use aggression and improvised weapons to fight off and disable the shooter.
    5. Police Response: How you respond to approaching police is as critical as how you respond to the shooter! Police are entering a very chaotic scene and have no idea who the shooter might be!

      • Stay calm and pay attention to details.
      • When law enforcement reaches you, do not run at them or make sudden movements.
      • The priority of the first responders will be to identify the shooter. Law enforcement will need to ensure that you are not the shooter.
      • Do not scream, yell, point, or wave your arms.
      • Do not hold anything in your hands that could be mistaken for a weapon (including cell phones).
      • Be quiet and compliant.

Part III: Housing Procedures Applicable to all Residential Students

  1. BREAK HOUSING
    1. Periods - Breaks are defined as the following periods during which classes are not offered:
      1. Fall break: Period of days between the end of summer session two classes and the date the residence halls open for Academic year check-in;
      2. Summer break: Period of days between the end of the standard academic year and prior to the date the residence halls open for summer session one check-in;
      3. Winter break: Period of days between the last class day of the Fall Term and the date the residence halls open for Spring term check-in.
    2. Eligibility - Residents are only eligible for BREAK HOUSING if they reside in university housing for a minimum of 25% of the subsequent academic term. Failure to meet the 25% occupancy may result in the assessment of Break Housing Charges. Residents desiring housing during break periods may request to stay in designated residence hall(s). Additional fee(s) may apply. Residents may be required to move to a different housing facility for the break.
    3. Break Housing Charges - residents who cancel their housing, do not return to the university following Break Housing, or are released from their housing contract under any provision and have continued to occupy a residence hall room during any Break Housing period will pay $25.00 per day of occupancy after the end date of the previous term until the resident has followed established procedures for checking out of their room/apartment with hall staff.
    4. Break Meals - Meal service will be provided for residents during any break and holiday periods including: Fall Break, Summer Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break, with at least 1 meal per day to be served, provided that resident has purchased or otherwise agreed to a GOLD meal plan both before and after the break period in question.
  2. CHECKING IN TO YOUR ROOM/ROOM INVENTORY
    1. Prior to your arrival, a Housing and Residential Programs staff member made a thorough accounting of the condition of the room. As you review this form with your R.A., be sure to point out any additional damages or needed repairs. Once you’ve signed your name to the inventory, you assume responsibility for the condition of the room. Any damages not noted on the inventory form at the beginning of occupancy will be assumed to have occurred during occupancy with the possibility of damage or cleaning charges.
    2. The sooner you meet with your R.A. to review the inventory form, the better. To help expedite this process, the R.A. staff will be readily available during check-ins and the first week of school. If your R.A. is unable to contact you, your Area Coordinator will send you a letter or email to your ASU email account requesting that you schedule a room check by a specified date. If you fail to respond to this reminder, your inventory will be assumed to be correct and you will be held to that standard at check-out.
    3. Always Clean Policy: It is our expectation that every resident check into a clean room/suite. Because some residents move in earlier than others, please make sure that common areas in your suite or apartment are always clean. We will attempt to notify you in advance if you are to receive a new roommate so that you will have time to prepare. However, this is not always possible. If a new resident moves into a room/suite that is not acceptably prepared, the current occupant(s) will have twenty-four hours to clean the designated areas. Failure to do so will result in the assessment of cleaning charges.
  3. CHECKING OUT OF YOUR ROOM
    1. This section will provide you with important information about moving in and out of your room…a process also known as checking in or out.
      1. Be sure you’re authorized to check out. Whenever you are completing a move, whether it is to move off-campus, or to another room on campus, all residents must go through formal check out procedures.
      2. Be sure you complete a proper check out with your R.A. This entails pre-scheduling a time to check out with your RA, going through the room inventory form, turning in keys to your RA, and signing all related paperwork. Ensure you are on-time for your scheduled check out. Failure to check out at your scheduled time may result in a fee of $5.00 for every 5 minutes after your scheduled check out time, until you properly check out.
      3. Improper Check Out: Failure to properly check out may result in the assessment of a $250.00 improper check out fee as well as cleaning charges being automatically applied to your student account, & failure to return your key will result in the charge for key/lock replacement. NOTE: All of your belongings must be removed from your room and any necessary cleaning etc. completed before your RA can complete check out paperwork with you.
      4. Allow ample time for packing, moving and cleaning prior to your scheduled check-out appointment. Plan on at least four hours; more may be necessary if you have a lot of belongings to pack or if your room is particularly dirty.
      5. Know what is expected in terms of room condition. Check-out guidelines can be obtained from the front desk or from your R.A. don’t hesitate to ask the R.A. to walk through the room with you a few days before you’re scheduled to check out. (The R.A. will probably do this during the last room inspection of each semester or at the end of semester floor meeting.)
      6. Finally… clean, clean, clean! Failure to properly clean before final check‑out will result in the assessment of cleaning charges.
    2. If you are expecting charges or conflicts over charges, request a meeting ahead of time with your RA or Area Coordinator to discuss your concerns.
  4. COMMUNICATION
    1. There are a few things you should do to make sure you have the most current information:
      • Check your ASU email daily!
      • Check your MyHousing account frequently!
      • Check the ASU / Housing & Residential Programs web page frequently!
      • Check the Housing & Residential Programs channel in RamPort. (You’ll find it under “Campus Life.”)
      • Check the Housing & Residential Programs social media accounts FB, Twitter, Instagram
      • Read notices sent to you from the Housing and Residential Programs Office or your Hall staff.
      • Read flyers posted in the lobbies, on your R.A.’s bulletin board, and in public areas of your residence hall.
      • Attend the mandatory floor meetings organized by your R.A.
  5. CONFIDENTIAL EMERGENCY CONTACT
    1. As part of the yearly online signup process for residence hall space students have the opportunity to register a confidential emergency contact(s). This confidential contact can be any person designated by the student, including friends, roommates, family members, co-workers, siblings or a significant other.
    2. If a student, regardless of age, has identified such an individual, ASU Police or an official from the University will notify that individual no later than 24 hours after the student is determined to be missing.
    3. A record containing information about the confidential contact person will be maintained by Housing and Residential Programs as a part of the student resident’s file. This information will be kept confidential and only be shared with authorized campus officials or law enforcement personnel and it may not be disclosed outside of a missing person investigation.
    4. For information about how to register or update a confidential contact outside of the normal application period, please contact your Resident Assistant, Area Coordinator for your building or call Housing and Residential Programs at 325-942-2035.
  6. CONSOLIDATION PROCESS
    1. Your housing contract is for a space in our facilities; it is not for a specific room. We sometimes find that we have a number of rooms, where for various reasons only one resident is occupying the double room. We refer to this as an “accidental single.” To best utilize our space, we utilize a consolidation process during each of the long semesters. The process actually begins before some residents even arrive. Some of you may arrive to discover that the roommate you expected did not arrive and you received a new one. This is part of the consolidation process.
    2. At the beginning of the semester we put a “freeze” on any room change requests. This allows us time to verify that everyone has checked in and to begin accommodating any overflow or last minute arrivals. If you are in an “accidental single” as described above, you may be contacted by your Area Coordinator or the Assignments Coordinator in the main housing office, and informed of your options at that point. If we have the space, you may be offered the opportunity to pay the additional single room charge and keep the room as a single. If you decline the single, or if space does not permit it, you will be invited to attend a consolidation meeting. Attending the consolidation meeting allows you the opportunity to meet people and to find a roommate with whom you feel you would be most compatible. It also gives you the opportunity to negotiate with your new roommate who will move.
    3. If you have questions about the consolidation process, please talk with your Area Coordinator. If you choose not to attend the consolidation meeting and/or otherwise fail to respond to notices about the process, your Area Coordinator or the Assignments Coordinator will make a new assignment for you and you will be expected to cooperate by completing the move by the deadline you are given. Typically, the date of application for housing of each resident is the first factor considered. (Returning student status or earliest application; having priority to retain the room.) Other factors may also be considered as circumstances warrant. Failure to cooperate with the consolidation process may result in disciplinary action.
  7. CONTRACT
    1. Please read your Student Housing Contractual Agreement carefully and take special note of dates, deadlines, possible financial requirements and refund schedules.
    2. Your occupancy in campus housing has come about as the result of a contractual agreement between you and Angelo State University.
    3. The housing contract for New Students to campus housing is the standard academic year (August through May.) Renewal Students housing contract is August through December .Student residents are expected to fulfill their contractual obligation for the duration of the contract period.
    4. Liquidated Damage Charges
      1. The Student Housing Contract is legally binding for the academic year. Students who enter into a Student Housing Contract and then petition for early release from the contract may be assessed liquidated damages charges. (See Student Housing Contract, IV & X) The deadline for payment of the liquidated damage charge (if applicable) for the academic year release is August 15 th . Spring semester release is January 10 th .
      2. The Liquidated Damages Charge may be waived for students who aren’t attending aren’t required to continue to live on campus; who will be getting married prior to the applicable semester and who provide proof of marriage; or who will be on an internship or student teaching requiring them to live out of town during the applicable semester. Please note, in these cases, you still need to submit a formal request for contract release form to the Housing and Residential Programs office. The Housing Contract Cancellation Request found in your MyHousing account.

If you get locked out at a time when the front desk is open, go to the front desk to have an RA unlock your room, or to obtain a temporary “tag” key. You will be required to present proper identification (student ID, Driver’s license etc.) to verify that you are the resident of that room, prior to the key being issued to you.
    2. The “tag key” must be returned to the front desk within 24 hours. Failure to return the tag key may result in key replacement and/or lock change charges.
