The university’s WiFi connection is shared by your devices along with your neighbors’ devices. If you experience problems with the WiFi service, it is most likely a neighbor using a router whose signals are interfering with the university’s signals. We ask CSCC residents to be respective of their neighbors and remove antennas to tone down the signal from a router.

• CSCC has a contract with BDS to provide card-reader operated washers and dryers in each CSCC residential building.
• The laundry cards can be purchased and refilled at the laundry card-reload machines located in the CSCC Community Center.
• Your laundry room key will open the outer door to the CSCC Community Center giving you access to reload your laundry card via a credit card 24/7.
• As so many people are sharing the washers and dryers it is important to be aware of your laundry, removing it promptly once the washer or dryer completes its cycle.

As a student housing community located between university campuses, we are susceptible to bicycle theft. By properly locking your bicycle, you make CSCC safer for everyone.

• Invest in a heavy duty U-Lock. Don’t use a chain or cable lock on it’s own. Secure the U-Lock and a secondary lock around the bike frame, both tires, and the bike rack.
• We strongly encourage residents to store their bicycle inside their apartment. This is the safest place for storage. Bikes cannot be stored inside the inner coreway or storage room.
• Save the serial number and a picture of your bicycle. Report a stolen bicycle to the Department of Public Safety.

During your assigned cleaning week:

• Shovel/sweep the entrance sidewalks if it snows less than one inch during their assigned cleaning week.
• Sprinkle the sand-&-salt mixture from the red buckets on the entrance sidewalks to prevent slippery ice from forming.
• Sometimes the sidewalk snow plow pushes a berm of snow into the entrance sidewalk. Residents are responsible for shoveling the snow berm on both sides of their coreway entrance walkways during their assigned cleaning week.
• You will receive a $30 coreway fine if the snow berm has not been cleared at 9am on Tuesday morning during the cleaning evaluator’s inspection

• Residents will be notified at least 24 hours of a full parking lot snow clearing. Vehicles not moved by the specified time –for whatever reason– will be fined $250 and potentially towed at the owner’s expense.
• The “snowbird” lanes, are the northernmost row in parking lot C and the easternmost row in parking lot D. You do not need to move your car for snow removal in these lanes.
• Do not park with your bumper over the sidewalk curb, or you’ll block sidewalk plows.
• Visitors may only park in parking lots C and D with a CSCC visitors pass visible on the dashboard. Please register guests staying longer than 7 days.

• The baseboard heaters use radiant heat; there is no forced air involved. Radiant heaters circulate hot water from the boiler system in each building.
• The 1-5 knob on your living room heater controls the heat on the main floor. Townhomes have an additional 1-5 knob in the larger bedroom to control the heat upstairs. 1 is low and 5 is high on the heat setting knob.
• Only the areas underneath your windows will give off heat. Furniture and large objects should be moved away from these areas so the heat can circulate in your apartment.
• Leaving a window open is wasteful of the co-op’s resources and has the potential to damage the radiator pipes. It is a maintenance emergency if a resident is not at home and a window is left open during the winter.
