All residents are expected to adhere to all policies and procedures prescribed in this Residence
Hall Guidebook, the terms and conditions of the residence hall contract, and the Policies and
Regulations Affecting Students. Any violations of these policies could result in disciplinary action.
Individual or group behavior that causes a disturbance or threatens the safety and rights of
other persons and/or University property is prohibited. This includes hall sports, inappropriate
public behavior, etc.
TThere are times when students may suspect that behavioral standards are not being met
and/or may encounter a policy violation not of their own doing. In these instances students are
expected to:
1) seek staff for assistance immediately; 2) confront the situation - get the policy violation to stop appropriately; or 3) leave the situation and report it to the 24 hour desk.
Bicycles
You may bring your bicycle to campus. Information on obtaining an Iowa City license and
on the best methods of locking bicycles is available from the University of Iowa Police, 808
University Capital Center.
Bicycle parking is available in the outside bicycle racks. Any bicycles parked or chained in any
other public space of the residence halls or in public areas of the University may be removed by
parking enforcement personnel and held at their office (at the IMU Parking Ramp) until claimed by
the owner.
You may keep your bike in your room as long as your roommate(s) agree. For safety reasons, bicycles must be walked, not ridden, in buildings.
Billing
All items you have contracted to pay (tuition, fees, room and board, etc.) will be billed in full
on August 1 for fall semester and on January 1 for spring semester. There are various payment
plans available. Contact the University Billing Office for more information. UBills are paid on ISIS
with a debit from your bank account - to do so you must complete a debit form available at the
University Billing Office, 5 Calvin Hall. You can also pay your U-Bill at the UICCU located in the
IMU. Your $100 advance payment will be credited to your first bill, fall semester.
Your housing contract states that you are responsible for paying your bill in full when billed. If
you cannot pay your bill or can only make partial payments on your bill, schedule an appointment
with Contracts and Assignments, 4141 Burge Hall, to discuss payment options and your plan for
taking care of the bill. Failure to contact Contracts and Assignments to discuss your specific
circumstances could result in legal action at your expense, the cancellation of your meal plan and
eviction.
