The entertainment industry (Recording, Movie, Television, Software, Game, and Book
companies) actively monitors file sharing networks for illegal file sharing. Students who share,
upload or download files over such networks expose themselves to prosecution from these
companies up to and including formal legal action in addition to disciplinary action taken by The
University of Iowa. If you use any of these programs, be aware that any illegal file sharing on your
student room port is your responsibility and may result in restriction or termination of your access
to the residential network. If illegal file sharing occurs, you will be held responsible as the
registered port user even if you did not install the program and even if you were not aware the
program was uploading a file(s) illegally. Note: The University of Iowa only shares students'
identification with these companies when legally required to do so by court order.
The University Housing staff has provided you with fire evacuation procedures and will hold fire
drills to prepare you in case of a fire. Each fall semester, University Housing sponsors "Fire Safety
Week" to increase students' awareness of the importance of fire safety.
Standards of student behavior in the residence halls require students to follow emergency procedures, see page 29, #14. Any persons found not leaving or attempting to re-enter the building during an alarm may face disciplinary charges.
Fitness Centers are available in Currier, Hillcrest, and Mayflower for any residence hall student to use. Check at the building desk for hours of operation.
Burge Market Place is located on the east side of campus. The Hillcrest Market Place is located on the west side of campus. Both Market Places can be used by any student on a meal plan.
If you have a guest or would like to eat a meal not covered by your contract, you may easily purchase a meal with your Hawkeye Dollars, charge a meal to your University account, or pay cash.
You may use your meal plan at either market place location by presenting your student ID.
University of Iowa students who do not have a residence hall contract may purchase a meal
plan at Contracts and Assignments, 4141 Burge Hall.
Admission to the Market Places
You must show your current valid University identification card to the checker at each meal. You will not be admitted to the Burge or Hillcrest Market Place without your University ID Card.

Meals may be eaten at Hillcrest Market Place or Burge Market Place, throughout the academic year, anytime classes are in session.
Other options are also available to residents to supplement
their meal plan or in the case of returning students in rooms with
a university kitchen in lieu of a meal plan.
20-Meal Deal
Students may purchase 20 meals for $150.00. Meals may be eaten at either
Burge Market Place or Hillcrest Market Place any time throughout the academic year when

services throughout the campus. You may also use Hawkeye Dollars in the washers and dryers

Hawkeye Dollars expire when you are no longer a student at The University of Iowa.
Canceling Meal Plans

board portion of their contract for either or both semesters. The cancellation deadlines are
Friday, September 14, 2009 for the fall semester and Friday, January 29, 2010 for the spring
semester.
RReturning residents or transfer students transferring to a room with a University supplied
kitchen have five working days from the effective date of the transfer to change or cancel a
board contract. After the five days, it is a binding contract for the remainder of the semester.
Students who cancel their residence hall contract will also have their meal plan canceled. All
cancellations are subject to contract cancellation guidelines located on pages 39-42. Students
who cancel their room contract may request a meal plan at 4141 Burge Hall (Contracts and
Assignments).
All changes, cancellations, or requests should be made at the Contracts and Assignments, 4141 Burge Hall.
Changing Meal Plans
Changes must be made on line at http://housing.uiowa.edu or at Contracts and
Assignments (4141 Burge Hall) during the first two weeks of each semester. After Friday,
September 18, 2009 no board changes can be made for fall semester. Friday, January 29,
2010 is the deadline for spring semester meal plan changes. Students transferring to a room
with a University supplied kitchen have five working days from the effective date of the
transfer to change a board contract. If moving from a room with a university supplied kitchen
to a room without a kitchen, you must choose one of the Basic Fare (20/14/10) meal plans
within five working days from the effective date of the transfer. If you do not make the choice
you will be placed on the 10 meal plan.

No Carry Out
Quantities are unlimited at all meals, except during special events.
While the cost of the meal plan covers unlimited servings while in the dining room, it does not cover the cost of food carried out. Therefore, no food or drink (with the exception of sick trays) may be taken from the dining room. Students found in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.
Sick Trays
When you are ill and unable to come to the Market Place, notify your resident assistant or 24 hour desk, who will fill out a sick tray form for you. You will then need to send someone to either Market Place with your University ID to pick up the sick tray and bring it to you.
On the Go
Students unable to come to the Market Place during regular business hours may order ahead a meal to go. Details and order forms are available on the web at http://www.housing.uiowa.edu/departments/residentialdining.
Organic Foods
Each Market Place provides wholesome, healthy and tasty
selected organic food options to our students through the "It's
Only Natural" program. In addition to serving a wide-variety of
foods for those with differing dietary concerns, we are continually
exploring the availability of locally grown and organic foods. For
more information see: http://housing.uiowa.edu/departments/residentialdining/only_natural.html.

Equipment and furnishings in lounges, study areas, or any other general purpose areas of the
residence halls have been placed there for all students to use. Students may not remove any of
this equipment or furniture to their rooms. Any public area furniture found in a resident's room will
be removed by residence hall staff at the resident's expense ($24/hour minimum charge) and the
resident may also be subject to disciplinary action.
All residence hall rooms will be set with loftable, wooden bed structures. You will not be
allowed to remove bed structures from your assigned rooms. This bed structure can be
reconfigured four different ways. If you would like to change your bed structure, fill out a work
order at your building 24-hour desk. All roommates must sign the work order request at the same
time. Never place your bunk beds or loftable furniture directly under your room
sprinkler system if applicable. No water beds are allowed in the residence halls. All
furniture issued to a student room must remain in that room.
