Housing staff members will announce themselves before entering any space. If no one is in the space or if the door is not answered, the staff members will enter the room using a master key. They will then conduct the inspection and lock the door behind them when they are done. If you are present, please make sure you follow any instructions given by staff. We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. 

Each resident is fully responsible for following all policies and procedures as well as directives provided in the Student Housing License Agreement. For more information, access the HRE license agreement and policies through this link: https://www.fullerton.edu/housing/about_us/HRE-Policies.php 

If you are found to be in violation of any of the health and safety policies, you will receive a letter from your Community Coordinator instructing you to remove the item from the space. A re-inspection of the space will occur within 48 hours (2 business days) from the initial inspection date. If any policy violations are found during the inspection, residents will be documented and taken through the conduct process. 

You will receive additional details regarding your floor’s specific inspection time from your Community Coordinator in the upcoming weeks. Please contact your Resident Advisor (RA) or Community Coordinator if you have any questions. Meet the Residential Engagement team through this link: https://www.fullerton.edu/housing/about_us/meet_our_staff.php

Bias Incident Notification

Date: 9/27/2024 19:15:58

On September 26, 2024 the Housing and Residential Engagement (HRE) team was made aware of an incident that occurred within our community involving our residents. 

Witnesses reported racial slurs being shouted from Elm towards Black identified residents. 

Housing and Residential Engagement (HRE) is committed to empower, educate, and activate our residential community to challenge prejudice, promote justice, and embrace differences. CSU Fullerton and HRE stand in solidarity with our students with marginalized identities and will always condemn all forms of harassment and discrimination. 

As a reminder, all residents made a commitment to maintaining an equitable and inclusive environment when they signed their license agreement. Per the license agreement, “living on campus is a privilege and not a right. Participation in acts of bias, hate, discrimination, harassment, etc. could result in removal from the student housing community.”

HRE is following up with the impacted residents and an investigation is on-going. If found responsible, students will be held accountable through the University’s conduct process.  

Housing and Residential Engagement will continue to educate, inform and support our community. CAPS and DIRC will be hosting space for our community called Commitment to Community Well-being . More information of dates and times will be shared with the community soon. We encourage those impacted or interested in working towards an anti-racist community to join us to reflect, heal and discuss actions steps towards creating a more inclusive CSU Fullerton campus.

In addition, HRE plans to hold mandatory meetings with residents of Elm, to reiterate our DEI statement and the commitment of maintaining an equitable and inclusive environment. There will be meetings offered on different days and times for ease of accessibility. Residents who fail to attend the mandatory meeting will be referred to the conduct process. More information of dates and times will be shared with the community soon.

In addition please find support if needed at:

  1. CAPS (657) 278-3040.  Please indicate that you are from student housing and you will receive priority via the crisis counselor on call. 
  2. Our Housing and Residential Engagement Staff are also available to help during business hours - (657) 278-2168; after hours - (714) 681-6918.
  3. If you see or have any information to report on incidents of bias, discrimination or harassment, you can inform us at report.fullerton.edu 
  4. If you have information that would be helpful in this investigation, please contact UPD at (657) 278-2515

It is disheartening that this situation occurred and has caused harm to our HRE community. We encourage you all to combat these acts of hate and bias and strive to create a community that is inclusive and fosters a sense of belonging.

Mailroom Reminders

Date: 9/25/2024 11:32

We hope that the semester is going well. We wanted to share a few important reminders regarding mail and package deliveries:

  • Check your mailbox frequently: Small packages are often placed in mailboxes, and you will not receive an email notification for them. Be sure to check regularly!
  • Do not open mail that isn’t yours: If you mistakenly receive mail that belongs to someone else, please return it to the front desk. Opening mail that isn’t addressed to you is prohibited.
  • No mail keys needed for the Suites: If you live in the Suites, there’s no need for mail keys. All mail and packages are logged for pick-up in the Redwood mailroom.
  • Ensure packages are addressed to you: When friends or family send packages, remind them to address it under your name, not theirs, to avoid any confusion. Please share this with them in advance.
  • Use the correct mailing address: Using the correct address avoids delays in getting your mail. Mailing addresses can be found in the mailrooms and on our website.

Thank you for your cooperation! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,

Attendance to these events could result in a student conduct process, and we encourage students to attend sanctioned campus activities and events instead.

Manzanita only: Important Reminder Regarding Study Room Etiquette

Date: 10/22/2024 08:24:42

I hope this message finds you well. As we are in the midst of midterms, I want to take a moment to address some recent concerns regarding the use of our community study rooms in Manzanita. With only three study rooms for four floors of residents, it's important that we all do our part to ensure these spaces are equitably available for everyone.

Here are a few guidelines to keep in mind:

Share Our Community Spaces:
The study rooms are a shared resource, and it's essential that we use them in a way that allows everyone access. If you're in a study room for an extended period, please be mindful of others who may also need to use the space. Consider setting time limits for yourself during busy hours so everyone has a chance to benefit from these rooms.

Respect Others’ Belongings:
If you come across personal belongings in the study rooms, please do not move or touch them without the owner's permission. It's important to respect your neighbors' belongings, as we would hope they would respect ours.

Don’t Leave Items Unattended:
While it's tempting to leave your books, laptops, or other belongings in a room to "hold" your spot, we ask that you refrain from doing so unless you are actively in the room using it. Leaving personal effects unattended for long periods can prevent others from using the space and creates frustration.

Be Time-Conscious:
Please be mindful of how long you're using the study rooms, especially during peak study times. If others are waiting or if the room has been in use for several hours, it’s a good practice to offer to wrap up your session or invite them to join you.

Share the Space:
Lastly, don’t hesitate to ask others if you can share the room, and be willing to share if someone asks you. The rooms are here for all of us, and working alongside your peers can often be a great way to stay motivated!

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to create a respectful and equitable environment in our community spaces. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.

We want to invite you to the Groundbreaking Ceremony on Wednesday, October 9th from 10 am  - 11 am.  This will signal the official start to the new project.

Finally, we would love to have you participate in the naming of the new building.  We have identified our Top 5 choices, and we invite the community to participate in the voting process.  The polls will be open until this Friday at 5.  You can vote here.

We are excited for the new project and we hope that you’ll come and learn about it at the events.

Student Housing Construction Update: Demolition

Date: 8/30/2024 15:49

We want to inform you about the upcoming demolition of the Phase 1 building, which will take place adjacent to the existing occupied apartments. As this work progresses, we want to keep you updated on the potential impacts and the measures we’re implementing to minimize disruptions.

Key Information:

  • Location: Demolition will begin with the most North/Eastern building, Valencia Hall, and proceed towards Sycamore Hall, with Cypress Hall being demolished last.
  • Work Hours: 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. No noise will be allowed prior to 7:00 a.m.
  • Noise Levels:
    • Existing noise levels have been measured with a portable decibel meter, ranging from 45.5 to 68.1 dB.
    • Noise levels will be monitored periodically. If readings increase by 25% (approximately 85 dB), the activity will be halted and assessed for noise reduction measures.
    • The use of demolition processors will be prioritized to reduce noise. If breakers are needed for larger pieces of concrete, they will be used as far North as possible to minimize impact.
  • Dust Control: Fire hoses will be used to continuously spray the building during demolition to control dust.

Impact on Willow Apartment Residents: Residents in the North side rooms of the Willow building will experience the most exposure to demolition noise. We are committed to making this process as smooth as possible and will take all necessary measures to reduce the noise and dust.

We have a limited number of earplugs and masks available at the Holly Mailroom which can be picked up during hours of operations.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this period. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you for your cooperation,

We understand this construction may cause some inconveniences, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation while we work to improve our on-campus housing. Our goal is to minimize disruption and ensure that the project progresses smoothly and safely.

Submit a License Agreement Cancellation Request if you wish to cancel.

Thank you for your cooperation.
