  • The ORL staff will look for prohibited items and health/safety concerns, such as: illegal pets, lounge furniture, illegal lofts, unauthorized appliances, room damages and/or excessively dirty areas, etc. Inspections may warrant disciplinary action.
  • Illegal or prohibited items found during inspections will be confiscated and held by ORL or Public Safety. The consequences of Health and Safety violations may include fines and/or disposal of prohibited items. Residence Life is not responsible for items confiscated during inspections and may not hold items after the confiscation.

  The Director of Residence Life, or their designee, will make this determination. After proper authority has been granted, the search will be conducted in the following manner:

  Room consolidation policy

  Room consolidation is a procedure through which the Office of Residence Life provides the maximum amount of space to students in the residence halls. The process affects students who live alone in a double occupancy room, which occurs when a roommate does not arrive or a roommate moves out of the room.

  Due to limited space within our residential buildings, the Office of Residence Life has instituted an ongoing consolidation policy that is implemented after housing assignments and selection for each year begins. The purpose of the policy is to ensure spaces for incoming students and rectify the inequitable condition which exists when many students end up living alone (without roommates) in rooms traditionally designated as double rooms/suites. Students living in a room/suite with a vacancy will receive correspondence from the Office of Residence Life describing the consolidation options.

  Residents in standard double rooms (Shiple & Holden) have the following options when they occupy a double room without a roommate:

  • Self-identify another person who is also in the consolidation process to be a new roommate.
  • Be consolidated with another person who also in the consolidation process through the Office of Residence Life. The resident with less credit hours will move in with the resident with more credit hours. If both residents have equal number of credit hours, the resident with the later housing application date will be required to move.
  • If space allows, the resident may buy-out the room for the remainder of the semester and the following semester. The charge will be prorated for number of days remaining in semester based on move date. Students are responsible for the full cost of the single room for the following semesters. Furniture will remain in room and will not be removed with the buy-out option.

  Residents in a suite-style standard double have the following options when they occupy a double room without a roommate:

  • Self-identify another person who is also in the consolidation process to be a new roommate.
  • Be consolidated with another person who also in the consolidation process through the Office of Residence Life. The resident with less credit hours will move in with the resident with more credit hours. If both residents have equal number of credit hours, the resident with the later housing application date will be required to move.
  • If space allows, the resident may buy-out the room for the remainder of the semester and the following semester. The charge will be prorated for number of days remaining in semester based on move date. Students are responsible for the full cost of the single room for the following semesters. Furniture will remain in room and will not be removed with the buy-out option.

  All residents affected by this policy will receive communication from the Office of Residence Life and must respond by the due dates listed to receive their choice of action.

  Any rooms that may become completely open after this process may be purchased as single rooms. No furniture will be removed and the room will remain a single for the entire academic year.

  Consolidation letters will begin processing during the third/fourth week of Semester. Letters will be sent via each students Detroit Mercy email address.

  • Daily Schedules: sleeping times, quiet hours, television viewing, study conditions
  • Housekeeping: making beds, cleaning the room/bathroom, picking up clothes, interior decorating, what is “clean” and “messy”
  • Personal Habits: exercising, foul language, gossiping
  • Telephone Use: long conversations, taking messages
  • Sharing: territorial imperatives, saying “please,” respect for each others property, getting permission
  • Moods: grouchiness, silliness, depression, “taking things out” on a roommates
  • Guests: overnight guests, non-mutual friends, parties, privacy
  • Values: prejudices, religion, politics, philosophy
  • Interests: what you like to do, interests to be shared

  Roommate/Suitemate Expectations: To ensure acceptable living and learning environments for all community members, residents are required to discuss and document their mutual ex-expectations in the form of a roommate agreement form. These agreements must be completed within the first two weeks of opening and turned into your RA. These agreements can be renegotiated at any time. In situations of disagreement, residents are held accountable to their agreements.
