Summer Storage Policy
Student Acknowledgement (PDF) of his/her awareness of this policy.
All of personal belongings MUST be removed from assigned bedroom and chapter house. Any of my personal items found in the chapter house after that time will be removed as provided for in this “No Summer Storage” policy. The cost of packing and shipping personal belongings (not including furniture) to my permanent address, if I do not pack and remove my belongings by the times noted above, will be assessed to my University Student Financial Services account without further notification. I further understand that any personal items I leave behind will either be shipped as noted above or removed and donated to charity for distribution to the less fortunate as part of the University's Housing Services Penn Moves Program or other local community charities programs.
The only exception to this policy is furniture that I will be using if I am living in the chapter house again for the next academic year provided I have signed (1) an occupancy agreement for the next academic year; (2) other supporting documents; and (3) I have a room assignment. Furniture is to be empty and have absolutely no contents (bed, dresser, refrigerator, desk, book case and air conditioner ONLY). All furniture must be marked with my name and room number for the 20xx-20xy academic year. If I am living in the house for “Spring Semester, 20xx Only” NO furniture may be left in the house. NOTE: Any furniture left is done so with the understanding that I, the student, assume full responsibility for any damage or loss to my furniture if anything should happen while I am not in residence/enrolled on campus or, during maintenance or cleaning of the bedroom. During Semester breaks and in the Summer, numerous third-party vendors – cleaners, contractors, maintenance workers and others – have access to the Chapter House. The University cannot assure and will not assume responsibility for the safety of my personal property left in a bedroom or anywhere else in the chapter house. Computers, stereos, and other electronic equipment in particular, are small and highly portable.
LOFTS/BunkBed policy
Your chapter house is equipped with a fire sprinkler system to mitigate risks associated with fire. To help prevent interference with the proper functioning of the sprinkler heads in your room, anyone planning to install a bunk/loft bed must contact OFSA Facilities no later than July 15 (for Fall Semester movein) or November 15 (for Spring Semester move –in) for inspection/verification that the size and location of the loft/bunk bed complies with OFSA requirements. Unauthorized lofts will be removed and all costs associated with the removal will be the responsibility of the
student/occupant assigned to the room. Policy – orig. 7/1/05. revised 2/27/2009
Adjustments to Move-in and Move-out Dates
As the University managed houses are closed at certain times of the year, special permission is required for any occupancy during those times. If you need to move in early, you must complete the Request for Early Move-In Form, complete the document, and then either email it to OFSAGA@pobox.upenn.edu, or fax it to 215.573.2406.
