Furniture


Students may not remove any college issued furniture from their rooms in any residence halls including CCA. This includes, but is not limited to bed frames and mattresses, coffee tables, desks, and couches. Bed lofting or bunking parts may only be removed or requested by filling out a work order through Facilities. Do not leave dismantled bed lofting or bunking parts out in the hallway or walkways.  If your furniture is left in the hallway for more than 24 hours then it is subject to confiscation and any missing furniture will be charged to the residents.  If students dismantle their bed during the academic year, they must re-assemble the bed prior to departing the residence halls or they will be fined. Furniture containing water is not allowed in the residence halls. This includes hot tubs, pools, water beds, saunas, etc.  

Common area furniture includes furniture in study rooms, living rooms, WES Single Suites, Mead suites, CCA apartments, etc.  Common area furniture is not to be removed from public areas. If a piece of common area furniture is discovered in your room or apartment, you can be charged up to $150 with an additional $25 a day until the furniture is returned. Furniture in Mead suite living rooms is considered common area furniture. If a room and/or suite furniture is missing or damaged, the room and/or suite will be billed collectively unless an individual or group of individuals takes responsibility. Please note that College owned furniture is not allowed on exterior hallways, or suite balconies.  

In Pitzer, Atherton and Sanborn Halls (PAS Halls), and West, East, and Skandera Halls (WES Halls) students may place couches, benches, chairs and stools between their door and their neighbor’s. Items placed between doors shall not protrude into the walking path or block any doors from opening and closing properly. No college owned furniture is allowed outside in the hallways. Excessively dirty or damaged items are not permitted, as determined by Facilities or the Residence Director. All items must be removed from the corridors when halls close at the end of spring semester. If items are not removed, the residents whose rooms are closest to the item will accrue the removal costs.  

In Mead and at CCA, furniture cannot be placed in any of the public areas outside the building (for example, against the building, near windows, in the courtyard, etc.
