1.  STANDARD OF CONDUCT

Residents and guests of the INNternationale (INN) are expected to be considerate of others and to behave in a manner that does not interfere with their neighbors’ need for privacy, cleanliness and quiet.  You are expected to treat the building and its contents with respect; anyone found damaging the INN property will be fined and/or asked to leave.  Please do not rearrange or remove furniture from the public areas. The INN staff reserve the right to search a room if furniture from a common area or food is missing from a common refrigerator and is suspected of being there.  The INN staff also reserve the right to search a room for cleanliness, contraband, gambling, illegal drugs, alcohol possessed by a minor or any illegal activity that is against federal, state, or city law.  The INN staff also reserve the right to consult privately with any individual determined to be a risk to the community of the INN.  If it is determined that a particular resident is of safety or health concern, that resident will be asked to leave without refund.

ALL RESIDENTS MUST COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING REGULATIONS MANDATED BY THE UNITED STATES AND DELAWARE STATE GOVERNMENT

• ALCOHOL can be purchased, possessed and consumed only by those over the age of twenty-one (21)
• GAMBLING is illegal in the state of Delaware
• The possession of DRUGS, other than those prescribed by a physician, is illegal in the United States

  2. ALCOHOL POLICY

The Unlicensed Sale of alcoholic beverages (alcohol) is forbidden unless a license granted by the ABC is issued for a particular event.  This license will only be issued to a non profit organization.  Any group leasing the conference center or World Café, that will introduce alcohol during an event will be responsible for monitoring the use of alcohol such that there is no violation concerning alcohol.  If the event is an ABC licensed event where tickets are sold for the purpose of reimbursing the purchase of alcohol, the hosting group must be responsible for monitoring the age of any person drinking.  During the event the host will ensure that no participant of the event removes alcohol from the conference room, World Café and/or Game room areas.  At no time will alcohol be carried out of these areas into any other level of the INN, preventing the monitoring of alcohol.  If the event is a non licensed event where there is no reimbursement of the cost of alcohol by ticket sales, the host will still be responsible for monitoring the legal use of alcohol by any participant, and still the removal of alcohol from the above designated areas is not permitted.
The Possession and/or Consumption of Alcohol by persons under the age of twenty-one (21) is not permitted. Residents (of any age) are prohibited from supplying alcohol to minors and from allowing any minor to possess or consume alcohol while hosting minors in their rooms or common areas.
The holding of and/or Consumption of Alcohol in publicly accessible areas or common areas is prohibited, unless specifically approved by the Resident Director. These areas include, but are not limited to: The front porch, the front reception area, hallways, grounds and parking area.  The INN reserves the right to treat any area as common areas if necessary.
The Non-Abusive Use of Alcohol within the confines of this policy is the responsibility of each individual, REGARDLESS OF AGE.  Accordingly, the INN reserves the right to prohibit what it believes to be excessive amounts of alcohol (e.g. a keg of/or cases of beer) from being brought into or stored in the building.  The INN reserves the right to institute whatever procedures it deems appropriate to monitor the use of alcohol and enforce this policy, including enforcing a “no tolerance” drinking policy.  If necessary, residents violating any of the above policies are subject to a range of penalties, including expulsion.

  3.  PARTY REGULATIONS

All parties, either by resident or other,  held in the INN, where the number of non resident participants exceeds six (6), or the number of residents exceed 14, either in the residential areas or common areas, must be registered with the Resident Director.  If you would like to register for a party please see the Director, Coordinator or one of the Advisors of the INN at least two business days prior to the party.  A notice will be posted notifying the residents in advance by management.

• Noise should be kept at a reasonable level.  The most appropriate area for a party is the World Café or Conference Center where noise will not disturb any resident not involved or interested in the party.
• Parties are discouraged during critical exam weeks, or if a situation arises where a party is within one of the lounges and an adjoining room resident is studying.  Parties will never extend past 12:00 a.m.
• Party participants must be compassionate to all residents in the effective vicinity while coming and going within the facility. Quiet hours must be followed in order to respect the residents not participating.
• An advisor must be notified if a party originally begins small, but grows to over 6 non residents or 14 residents.  This is for the safety of all concerned.

  4.  QUIET HOURS

After 11pm, Common areas are to be used by residents only, unless the residents, as a group, have decided otherwise with the permission of the resident director or coordinator.   Study Hours: TV’s, Radios and loud conversations should be reduced to a reasonable level after 9:00 pm to enable adequate sleep and privacy. Gatherings and social events using the World Café, game room or reception area are required to  reduce their noise level at 11:00 pm but are not required to terminate unless a resident in the facility is affected.  If any resident is disturbed after the 9:00 noise reduction time or the 11:00 restricted common areas time, the resident must first contact the resident and/or guests that are disturbing the area before contacting one of the advisors, Coordinator and/or Director. This will develop an important line of communication that will remain open, preventing violations.

  5.  SECURITY EVENING LOCK UP

The resident key cards to various exterior doors may be limited after 11:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m to operating only the front door.   If this is the case all residents will be aware of this provision either during mass e mail or during check in orientation procedures.  This is to prevent intrusion by unwanted individuals from gaining access to the facility in obstructed areas during the night.  All exterior doors are on the Monitored Alarm/night vision Camera computer server system which allows 24/7 video recording and instant viewing of the exterior of the building, especially the exterior doors, as well as detecting the particular user of a key card entering any lockable door (including resident rooms) at any time. This allows easier monitoring of resident traffic during evening and dawn hours.  Residents must be very quiet when entering after 11:00 pm.  Entrance after 12:00 am may be monitored by the on site Resident Coordinator or one of the on site advisors. Our greatest concern is the safety and well being of all the residents.  Even though the INN is located in a safe area, across the street from the campus security, there are areas of Newark that have a reputation for late night parties and high crime.  The residents will be notified of these areas of concern upon arrival orientation, and should always try to return to the INN before the streets become vacant.  Do not bring unknown persons back to the INN late at night unless they are a registered student of the University.  Any overnight guest must be approved by the director, coordinator or one of the advisors.

6. SMOKING POLICY:

The INN has a building wide NO SMOKING policy.  Residents are allowed to smoke on the front porch and Courtyard if there are no windows or doors open in the general vicinity.  However, from 9:00 PM until 9:00 AM, these areas are  restricted to no use because of noise and smoke that may disturb the residents in the near proximity of these areas.  People smoking must place all cigarette buds in supplied containers and must not throw them anywhere on the ground.  Because the Courtyard is surrounded by resident rooms, voice and noise will be kept to a minimum at any time when a resident may be disturbed.  There is also an area for smoking in the parking lot, either along the property fence or at the end of the parking lot behind the stair tower where there is no windows.  Residents may also smoke at the side door of the access street to the parking lot . Never leave the exterior doors open!

  7.  GENERAL REGULATIONS

Residents are not allowed to have pets in the building unless it is a Seeing Eye dog.  Salespeople and solicitors are not permitted in the INN unless approved by the Resident Director or Resident Coordinator.

Residents are responsible for cleaning their own individual rooms and bathrooms.  Residents are required to clean the kitchen and dirty dishes in the community kitchens after their use.  Residents are also responsible for cleaning any common area that they have used for gatherings.  These areas should be cleaned as soon as the cooking/gathering is over and may require mopping or vacum.  When cleaning the kitchen the resident must clean the surfaces of the stove and countertop as well as any spills that may occur on the floor or refrigerator.  The counter tops will always be left dry and clean to prevent damage.  Residents will also empty the trash, when full, in their room, bathroom and kitchen to the exterior trash containers.  The advisor of each specific floor will assign by schedule, trash removal to those using the kitchens.  The dishwasher for each kitchen, if needed,  will only be run at the end of the day, after dinner by an advisor. Always scrap and prewash any dish/pot/pan/silverwared, utensil before placing in the dishwasher.

(a) SHORT TERM ROOMS – If the resident is staying for a short period of time (less than 3 weeks in most cases) and the lease is based on a daily rate, the room, linens and bathroom are cleaned ONCE per week by housekeeping and this cost is included in the lease rate.  The daily rate is based on a three day minimum except where a shorter period of time is approved by the Resident Director.  If the stay is up to a month and the monthly or semester rate is applied, the resident will be responsible for cleaning of the room, bathroom and linens.  Residents may choose to have housekeeping clean there bathroom.  This will be a charge of $10.00 – $15.00  per week/per resident charge.  If the resident chooses to clean their own bathroom, management reserves the right to clean a resident’s bathroom and charge each resident (s) $10.00 if any complaint is received about unhygienic conditions.  Management will conduct a bimonthly inspection of each bathroom to ensure its cleanliness.  A notice will be left either approving the bathroom or requiring that the resident clean the bathroom within 2 days.  Shared bathrooms of two (2) persons or more will be cleaned by housekeeping if the residents sharing the bath cannot agree on a cleaning schedule between them where each of the residents clean such that the bathroom is cleaned once a week.  This will cost the residents their share of the cost associated.  Cleaning of shared bathrooms will cost $10.00 per resident for each cleaning of a bath shared by two.  $5.00 per resident will be charged per cleaning for a bathroom used by four (4).

(b) LONG TERM RESIDENT ROOMS – Residents residing for a semester or longer are termed long term residents.  The resident (with a private bathroom), or residents (in case of shared bathrooms), will be responsible for cleaning their bathrooms and rooms and linens.  An agreement will be made by the residents sharing a bathroom for a cleaning schedule.  A surcharge may be applied if one or  more of the residents refuse’s to clean his or her room or bathroom, shared or otherwise.  This surcharge will pay for the housekeeping to clean these areas based on  the cost stated in (a) Short Term Rooms above.

There are five lounges fully equipped for community cooking, one of which is a located in the Café for larger table sitting requirements.  All kitchens, except the café kitchen on the lower level, close at 9:00.  This is to ensure quiet for the residents living close to the kitchens.  The Café kitchen is the only kitchen that should be used after 9:00 p.m. The City of Newark Fire Code states that cooking appliances other than micro wave are NOT permitted in individual single rooms and non-kitchen lounge and reception areas.  The micro wave as well as the refrigerator must be of an approved size, both requiring the approval of the Resident Director.  The units placed in the rooms by management are of legal size and voltage.  No Electric Grills, Ovens, BBQ’s, etc. may be used.  Any other device must have the approval of the Resident Director.  This is for the protection of all the residents.  The INN reserves the right to inspect rooms and lounges for illegal cooking appliances and confiscate any found.  A resident who is repeatedly found violating this regulation or any other may be asked to leave.  The kitchens have been designed to serve the areas where they are located.   Residents should use the kitchen supplied on their floor or the Café kitchen, to avoid congestion and also to allow proper monitor of residents food being stored in cabinets or the common refrigerator of that floor, unless otherwise approved.

All cooking must be followed by cleaning of pots, pans, dishes, silverware, floors (if necessary) and counter tops and stove top. Removing trash and other cleaning responsibilities will be shared by the Residents using the Kitchen.  Proper food storage in cabinets, refrigerator or in room is to be insect proof and void of rot or spoilage.  Residents must label any food left in the common refrigerators with a date.  Upon move out, all food associated with that resident must be thrown out to the dumpsters located in the parking lot, unless given to a particular resident.  Dish washers will be run by the advisors after dinner.

It will be the responsibility of any resident to notify management of any improper contact whether harassment or what would be deemed mildly offensive behavior or language.  One such action can involve a tremendous spiral event for the INN,  an event that would ruin an otherwise impeccable reputation.

Thank you so much for your attention to this matter.  We will have a large variety of nationalities, all of which handle  such occurrence/ in different manner.  What may seem to be appropriate for one Nationality may be totally offensive to another.  Please handle all relationships with the respect that is required of this International facility.

All residents will have a Credit Card Authorization form filed with the Office upon check. This credit card, in which the deposit was taken, will be credited, in the form of a refund, any or all deposit monies due at the time of check out. If there is a balance due at this time, the same credit card will be charged for this amount.

These funds will normally be awarded by the University of Delaware even though they are collected by the INNTernationale. Some of the Cultural Events, especially the large events, are designed to collect donations for the scholarship foundation. In some instances, these donations may also be used for special events for the residents and not used to reduce the lease amount for a particular resident. This foundation will also be involved in Grant writing such that available funds will be collected and used for programming associated with the grant and will be designed to increase the success of the INNternationales purpose of Global orientation, peace and education.

All Residents are expected to attend if at all possible such that the education and experiences of all may be shared in a comfortable and informal/formal event.

24.   ADVISOR/RESIDENT BULLETIN BOARD

It is the responsibility of each resident to read the bulletin board on the floor of the resident. Also if there is any problem that requires the attention of management, to note this on the floor bulletin board. Occasionally there will be an important notice requiring the attention of each resident. These bulletin boards list each of the advisors and the coordinators phone number and room number should you need to locate one. If the need is not an emergency, a note may be left on the Bulletin board. Please, if you have a problem, let us know as soon as possible, especially if it involves plumbing, electric, heating or life safety issues. The advisors will also assist in any problems associated with roommates, transportation, events, computers, telephone, TV, etc.

CONFLICT ARBITRATION – any problems associated with a conflict with the rules and regulations or personal problem may      involve an arbitration within the Advisors and coordinator of the facility.  If the problem is a conflict between two or more people, the advisors will interview each separately, and than make a decision as to an interpretation of the rules.  In this event, the management may decide that a new rule or variation of an existing rule is required to clarify a particular situation.  The ruling by the advisors, if contested, will be given to the director for final decision.  The ruling by the advisors/coordinator will be given within 2 days at a special hearing.  If appealed, the director will have an additional 2 days to hear existing information gathered by the advisors/coordinator arbitration and if necessary re- interview those involved.  This decision will be final and respected by all parties.
The advisors/coordinators and/or director may find it necessary to interview witnesses or other residents from the floor to assist in understanding the situation.
This process is designed to efficiently resolve any issue between one, two or more residents involving the rules, regulations and contract.  The result of this arbitration will either end with a resolution where the rules are enforced and either all parties satisfied with the judgment, assessment of damage and collection and/or possible eviction of one or more students if rules have been broken.
If the matter is of serious consequence, as defined by either the director or Coordinator, the matter will be turned over to the proper court of law or law enforcement agency.

TERM OF RESIDENCY – The term of residency, as detailed on each reservation, is the length and dates of either the ELI session of which the reservation is based or the the length and dates of the University semester to which the resident is applying.  The reservation is not made by the month or calendar 30 day period.  Residents are permitted to enter 1 day earlier than the commencement of either the ELI session or the UD semester and must depart within 1 day of the end of the ELI session or UD semester.  If a resident is to continue to the next session or semester, OR LEAVES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, arrangement MUST be made for the resident to stay during the interim, OR THE ROOM MAY BE LEASED.  This must be approved in writing on the reservation.  The deposit, as noted on each reservation, is refundable upon departure as long as there is no outstanding violation fee.  The deposit and the payment of the reservation is non refundable if requested less than 30 days prior to the arrival of the resident.  If cancellation is requested prior to the 30 days of arrival a $100.00 application fee may be accessed.
