Exam Week 2– Tri 2

The end of trimester on res can often prompt large gatherings and

celebrations. While we understand the importance of commemorating the

end of exams, we would like to emphasise the importance of celebrating respectfully and taking responsibility for your actions.

A number of serious incidents have occured this trimester including graffiti

at BSV, oranges being thrown from high-rise windows at MB and the

defecation incident in the male rec room toilets. These sorts of actions

simply should not happen as they are not part of having fun and

enjoying time with your friends.

The culprits for all of these incidents have been

found and these students are now dealing with

the consequences and relevant charges.

For this reason, if an incident is to unfortunately

occur, it is always better to come forward and

own up to Residences staff immediately.

Incidents such as these can affect not only your place on res, but your

place at the university if management choose to pursue the matter.

We strongly advise to be respectful of one another, residences property and

your own safety while celebrating the end of the year.

No matter when you plan on checking out, you MUST leave your

room/studio apartment in a clean and tidy state at the end of T2!

For those at BSV and the MB Shared Apartments, your RLs have created

cleaning rosters for check-out.

You will not only be responsible for

cleaning your bedroom, but

communal areas as well.

Everyone in BSV and MB Shared

Apartments will be

assigned a specific cleaning task, so

please see your RL as soon as possible

for details on cleaning

expectations.

If your room is left dirty or if you do not contribute to the cleaning of

common areas, charges will apply and an encumbrance will be placed on

your Deakin account. You will not be able to access your results or re-enrol

until the charges are paid!

Clean Up Before You Check Out!

We are still very keen to hear what your

plans are beyond T2!

If you haven’t already, please notify

reception ASAP if you are:

staying for T3 (Remember, you don’t

have to be studying!)

wishing to extend your stay for just a

few extra days/weeks/months

leaving earlier than November 3rd

This will assist us greatly with preparing rooms for incoming students.

Q. What did one elevator say to the other?

A. I think I'm coming down with something!
