Whenever the Head Resident and the Students Counselor are unable to determine the person(s) responsible for dormitory damage which is clearly not the result of normal use, a minimum fine of RMB 50 will be charged to each resident of that dormitory, plus the cost of repairs.

At the discretion of the Director of Administration, Head Resident and the Students Counselor, a community service option may be made available in lieu of the RMB 50 fine.

Specific dormitory regulations include:
a) Beds other than those provided by the University as normal furniture are not permitted in the dormitories. Students may not build loft-type beds or other structures.

b) Furniture may not be removed from the dormitory, from the common room, from one room to another, or to the hallways

c) Beds may not be disassembled. Bed frames, mattresses, and chairs and desks should not be removed.

d) Concrete blocks or other devices may not be used in dormitory rooms.

e) Doors to rooms, and closets, and window screens should not be removed.

f) Only removable plastic adhesive should be used to attach decorations to the walls. Use of nails or tape is not allowed.

g) Students must not mark and/or draw on doors, walls, windows, ceilings, and room furnishings.

h) Students should not tamper with electrical fixtures and built-in furniture.

i) Needed repairs should be reported to the Security or Head Resident and should not be attempted by students.

j) Students may not display commercial signs, or generally offensive materials from their dormitory room windows.

Vandalism
The intentional breaking of glass (bottles, windows, etc.) will result in a minimum penalty of a RMB 100 fine. (The fine may be increased if the incident involves multiple windows being broken.)

Smoking
Smoking is prohibited in the commons rooms and hallways of our residential facilities. Raffles dormitories are designated as completely smoke-free dorms. The use of tobacco is prohibited in all areas of these dorms including personal living spaces. Incense and candles are also prohibited in rooms of smoke-free dorms as they are in all dormitories.

Dorm Visit
A roommate must not be deprived of the right to privacy, study time, or sleep because of a guest. When there are infractions of the visiting rules, action will be taken against all offending parties according to the following guidelines.

a) In the case of an infraction involving a first-time offense where the guilty parties react in a cooperative manner and have not been in the dormitory for more than one hour beyond closing time for the dorm, the Security should give the students a reprimand and turn in their names to the Head Resident.

b) In the case of an infraction involving persons who are not cooperative, who are repeat offenders, or who have been in the dorm beyond one hour past the closing time, the guilty parties will be reported to the Head Resident. The Head Resident will levy a minimum fine of RMB 50 and may send the persons to the Student Discipline Committee.

c) In the case of individuals who are reported for a visit infraction after having already been warned by the Head Resident or in a case involving cohabitation, the guilty parties should be turned over to the Administration Manager or Executive Vice Dean. The Administration Manager or Executive Vice Dean will determine whether or not the persons should be turned over to the parent, and may also select additional punishment from the following options depending on the severity of the case: loss of priority for room sign-up for the next year; eviction from the dormitory system.

Dormitories are off limits to all persons except members of the Chang Chun University and Raffles C.U. International College, their guests, and others who have official business.

a) Residents may not have long-term guests in the residential facilities. Guests may only stay in a dormitory room with the permission of all persons assigned to the room. (Students may not have guests of the opposite sex stay with them in their rooms.) Residents should register their guests with the Head Resident or Security.

b) Guests are required to abide by Chang Chun University policy including policies governing alcohol and drug use. Residents will be held responsible for any damages or infractions perpetrated by guests.

c) Privileges to have guests in the residential halls may be revoked if a student's guests violate Chang Chun University policies.

d) Off-campus salesmen and persons advertising business products are not admitted in the dormitories.

e) Room doors should be locked to prevent theft. Chang Chun University and Raffles C.U. International College assumes no financial responsibility for lost or stolen property. Please contact immediately your Security or Head Resident if you become aware of a theft or of intrusions by unauthorized persons.

f) Dormitory room and door keys should be used only by the student to whom is assigned. The keys are to be used only when school is in session and are to be returned at the end of the year to the Security or Head Resident.

Cohabitation
Students of the opposite sex are not assigned and may not arrange to live together in any facility in the residential system. Thus the College does not allow cohabitation and cannot ignore any infraction of this policy, which comes to its attention.

Pets
Students living in dormitories may not own pets, may not feed or keep pets in the dormitories, nor keep pets anywhere on the domain. A minimum of RMB 100 fine will be imposed for violation of this policy.

Personal Possessions
Students should take precautions to protect personal belongings from theft, fire, water damage, or other loss.

Quiet Hours
In order to secure the right of students to read and to study free from unreasonable noise and other distractions, Chang Chun University has asked students to respect "quiet hours," designated evening hours which residents are expected to observe quiet behavior.

Excluding periods of final examinations, quiet hours will be from 7:30 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

During final examination periods, quiet hours will be 7:30 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Sunday through Monday.

Parties or large gatherings are not permitted in dormitory rooms at any time and excessive noise should be avoided at all times.

Alcohol Use
Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in dormitory common rooms. Opened containers of alcoholic beverages (including cups) are forbidden in all public areas of residence halls such as courtyards, hallways, and common room. Note regarding dormitory room parties: The University does not permit unreasonable dormitory room parties, and it is expected that students remain mindful of Chang Chun University dorm rules and restrictions and the Chinese law at all times. Possession of alcohol by students under the age of 21 is prohibited and will be punished under the provisions of the University's Disciplinary Code.

Moving Out
Students are expected to leave their rooms in a clean and orderly manner at the end of the term. The room should be inspected by the Security or Head Resident and the checkout form completed and co-signed by the Security or Head Resident before the student departs for the term end. If the student fails to do so, a RMB 50 fine will be levied. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these regulations, please call the Director of Administration, at (0431) 85382077 ext 606, or email her at rcu-admin@raffles-design-institute.com
