be used.
A. General Usage:
 The individual or group currently occupying the space defines the activity of the space. For example,
if an individual is in the CR studying then a group of residents could not enter the CR and begin to
watch TV until such time that the individual studying has exited the CR. Conversely, if an individual
is in the CR watching television then a group of residents would not be able to enter the CR and deem
it a study area and ask that the TV be shut off.
2

The TV may be viewed at any time while occupying the CR, but the AV equipment must be reserved
for usage (see Reserving the Audio Visual Equipment in the Community Room below).
 CR furniture shall not be removed from the room.
 Residents are responsible for any damage or cleanliness issues in the CR resulting from their use of
that space.

Please ONLY use the designated trash can or dumpsters for the appropriate disposal of event trash.
 Residents found to be in violation of the CR Guidelines will be asked to leave the room and may be
subject to further disciplinary action.
 Fees for damage and/or cleaning may be applied to the account of a Resident if that Resident, or their
guest(s), are found to be responsible for damage or, in the opinion of Housing Services, have left the
CR in such a condition to warrant cleaning above the level provided by the University cleaning staff.
B. Reserving the Community Room:
The CR may be reserved for functions including, but not limited to: study groups, social events, or
recreational interests. If you are interested in utilizing the CR for an activity of this nature then you are
encouraged to make a reservation for the CR. To check availability of the CR, please contact our office at
housingservices@cgu.edu. A reservation is the best way to ensure a level of privacy for your event.
Including the guidelines listed for general usage, the following guidelines also pertain to every reservation:
 In order to reserve the CR, there must be a minimum of five (5) people. If for any reason during the
time of your event, the number of persons is below five then your reservation will be cancelled
immediately and the CR

the event.
 No reservation can extend beyond 10:00 p.m. or start before 7:00 a.m. unless approved prior by the

office prior to be posted within the CGU Apartments complex.

status of your request. Be advised that your request is NOT considered approved until email confirmation is
received.

not available then any content transmitted via the AV system must not contain any visual or auditory
content deemed by Housing Services to be of a graphic nature (profane, sexual, gory, or otherwise).
