Students who choose to utilize a University owned loft or bunk in an officially designated eligible room agree to use it in the intended manner, as indicated in the loft/bunk bed policy at www.housing.umn.edu/loftpolicy.

Students that use the Ethernet service (ResNet) and/or wireless connection must adhere to the policies and procedures in the University’s Acceptable Use Policy and the ResNet Agreement. Both documents can be found on the ResNet Web site at www.resnet.umn.edu/html/policy.html. All furniture, appliances, and window treatments are also included in the rate and must remain in the room/apartment. Storage is not available.
