If you have a clogged toilet, please go to the front desk and they will give you a plunger. You are responsible for plunging the toilet first. If the problem persists, contact the front desk and report it.
If you have submitted a work order and have not received attention for several days after the request is made, please tell the Residential Life Coordinator or one of the administrative assistants so that they may follow up on your request.
Please only enter one maintenance request at a time. If you are experiencing more than one maintenance-related problem, they need to be reported on separate requests.
Work requests submitted after 3 p.m. during weekdays will not be reviewed until the following day. Work requests entered during the weekend will not be reviewed until Monday morning. Work requests submitted on holidays will not be reviewed until the next business day. If your maintenance request is of an emergency nature, please report it to the front desk.
Emergency
