Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Question: What is a Bond/Notice of Fine ( NOF )?
Answer : A bond/NOF is a fine, ranging from $50.00 to $100.00, that is issued for minor violations of the Residence Policies (outlined in the Residence Handbook and Family & Graduate Housing Handbook ). These fines are issued by Residence Staff, Residence Services Officers (RSO's), Residence Assistants (RA's), and Residence Coordinators (RC's).
The difference between bond and NOF is that a bond becomes payable only when a second bond is issued to a student, whereas a NOF becomes payable immediately to a students account (payable online using self-service banner or in person to Financial Services).
A student who is issued four bonds/NOF's with one Academic year, may be dismissed from Residence at the discretion of the Director, Residence Department.

Question: Can I do anything about a Bond/NOF I feel I do not deserved?
Answer: If you feel that you are receiving a bond/NOF undeservingly it is in your best interest not to dispute the fact with the Resident Staff issuing the fine. Arguing with the Residence Staff members may result in an additional fine for being uncooperative with Residence Staff.
Once you receive your copy of the fine, please refer to the reverse side of the fine to find detailed instructions on how to appeal. There is a Student Disciplinary Committee made up of residence students who hears the appeals.
Please review the Student Disciplinary Code along with the Residence Handbook to find out what your rights and responsibilities are as a resident.

Question: Can I have overnight guests in my residence room?
Answer: Yes, you may have overnights guests, however, you must remember that you are responsible for your guest's actions while they are in residence. They are subject to residence Rules and Regulations as well. Any misconduct of your guest will be your responsibility.
It is the basic right of every student to have privacy in his/her assigned room. No student should feel obligated to relinquish this right. In a shared accommodation, overnight guests and visitors are allowed only with the consent of all roommates. Further to this, an overnight guest or visitor may be asked at any time to leave the room in the interest of preserving privacy.
It is each resident's responsibility to educate their visitors and guests about the residence policies and regulations.
