Daniells Residence Complex

Mental - Physical - Spiritual

Handbook

Daniells Residence Complex (DRC) for men and women (women must be 21 or older) includes 52 two-bedroom apartments. The rental price includes a fully furnished apartment, free central heating and air conditioning, free local phone service with voice mail, free Internet service, free basic cable TV service, and free parking. Other conveniences are a laundry room, recreation room, weight room, and a lobby area with a large screen television.

An important part of Christianity, the SDA Church, LLU, and DRC is the growth of the whole person. Our goal is to provide mental, physical, spiritual, and social programming. We employ directors that plan activities in each area, to provide residents the opportunity of a well-rounded educational experience.

The facility is located near the center of the LLU campus offering students the convenience and security of campus housing. DRC is within walking distance of most campus resources, such as the library, classrooms & laboratory facilities, the bookstore, Drayson Center (LLU's state-of-the-art health facility), dental & medical facilities, and LLU Medical Center & Church.

Daniells Residence is an apartment-style complex. There are two bedrooms per apartment. Single occupancy indicates that you will have your own bedroom while sharing the apartment with the two occupants of the second bedroom. Double occupancy indicates that you will be sharing your bedroom with another student along with sharing the apartment with the occupants of the second bedroom. Due to the demand for single occupancy all students have to enter as a double first and get a single when it's available.

The staff at DRC is here to serve you in making your stay as pleasant as possible. In order to facilitate this goal, with the diversity of our residents, we ask that you be familiar with the material found in this handbook. The following Daniells Residence policies are in accordance with the Loma Linda University Student Handbook. If you have any questions, contact the dean or other staff at DRC. Please feel free to drop by or make an appointment at your convenience.

The policies are listed alphabetically.

ALCOHOL/DRUGS/TOBACCO

Loma Linda University is a drug free campus. The possession or use of non-prescription drugs, alcohol, or tobacco is strictly forbidden on campus or in DRC by residents and/or their guests. Consequences due to the violation of this standard will be individually determined by the deans and may be cause for dismissal from the complex and/or university.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

A variety of athletic facilities are available to the residents. The Drayson Center provides soccer and softball fields, tennis, racquetball, volleyball, basketball courts, an indoor & outdoor track, two heated outdoor pools, a Jacuzzi, and sauna. The number for the service desk is (909) 558-1000, extension 44975. DRC has a small weight room (see weight room in listing) located in the complex.

AUTO CLEANING

A hose is available to wash your car. The hook up is located by the bike room. Please wind the hose up when you are finished.

AUTO REGISTRATION

You must register your vehicle with campus security, located at the corner of University and Campus. Upon registration of your vehicle, you will receive a green lot "L" parking permit. Follow security's guidelines for displaying this permit. Due to the lack of space, each resident is allowed only one vehicle. All vehicles must be in running condition. Car maintenance is not permitted on the lot. Any short-term guest may receive a temporary parking permit from the DRC office. Vehicles not properly registered, not running, abandoned, improperly parked, etc. will be ticketed and/or towed at the owner's expense.

AUTO PARKING

The residents of Daniells have been assigned parking in lot "L." This lot includes the spaces facing the (North side) top of the apartments (not including the spaces adjacent to Nichol Hall), spaces that are adjacent to Mound Street (South side), and the rented carports under buildings 50 and 70. Due to lack of space, guest parking has not been provided.

AUTO COVERED PARKING

Assigned covered parking is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you are interested, please submit your request at the office. There is a quarterly fee of $50. Any cars parked that are not assigned for that space will be towed away at the owners' expense.

AUTO THEFT

Cars are periodically broken into on campus. An overwhelming majority of the time items were left in the vehicle. DO NOT LEAVE ANY VISIBLE ITEMS IN YOUR CAR. Please report any problems or suspicious behavior immediately to security.

BALCONY

Please do not use your balcony for storage. There is a small storage closet off your balcony to be used for this purpose. Any large items may be placed in the Daniells storage room.

Please help conserve energy at DRC by turning off lights, radios, TVs, etc. when you leave your apartment. Also, turn off the a/c-heater when you're leaving for the weekend. We are committed to keeping the rent down to a minimum and electricity is one of our biggest expenses.

FAX MACHINE

FIRE AND SAFETY CODE

Absolutely no tampering with the alarm system is allowed. The smoke detectors can be set off by burning food; so do not leave the stove/oven area unattended. If the fire department is alerted without need, the occupants will be charged $25 for the unwarranted call. The fire Marshall has the right to levy a fine if he deems necessary. If the fire department is alerted for the same apartment more than once without warrant, steeper charges will be assessed.

Fire regulations require that the doorways be free from obstructions at all times. Tampering with the fire alarm system/extinguishers will result in a fine. If you detect smoke or evidence of a fire notify the fire department immediately (911). Whenever the fire alarm sounds:

1. Stop whatever you are doing and prepare to leave the building at once.
2. If your window is open, close it.
3. Feel the door before opening it. If the door is hot, do not open. If it doesn't feel hot, open it slightly. Hold your head away; brace the door with your foot. Test the air temperature with your hand across the opening.
4. If the hall is not safe, remain in the apartment. Plug any opening or cracks where smoke may enter using a wet towel, sheets, blankets, mattresses, etc.
5. Stay as close to the floor as possible when in an area with smoke.
6. In rooms with windows, open the window slightly and/or stay near it. Keep calm; avoid hysteria. Do not climb out of a window and try to jump. To indicate that you are there hang a towel or a sheet outside the window. If smoke enters the room, make a tent with a towel or blanket at a slightly open window and breathe the outside air.

The apartments vary in their design. Don't panic. Use your common sense.

FIREARMS

The possession of firearms, weapons, or explosives by the residents and/or guest is strictly prohibited. Possession of these may be cause for dismissal from the complex and/or university.

FOOD BAR

There are inexpensively priced snacks, foods, and beverages available for purchase at the office. If you are a current student and living at DRC, you may charge these items against your active student account.

All furniture and equipment in DRC is for the use of current residents. The removal of any furniture or equipment belonging to the University constitutes theft. Residents will be held responsible for equipment and furnishings missing, or any damaged beyond normal use. Transfer of furniture from one apartment to another is not allowed.

GRIEVANCES

Here at Daniells, we want to encourage the message from Matthew 18:15,16. If problems need to be addressed we suggest that you start by talking to the parties involved.
