Martin Court Procedures

Students living in Martin Court must abide by the rules and polices governing the complex.

Lockouts

Any Martin Court resident locked out of their room or apartment during college business hours (9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Monday-Friday) must go to the Residence Life office to borrow a lock-out key or CatCard. Please note that any lost keys will require Physical Plant to re-core the room and cut new keys at a charge to the resident. The charge will be placed on the student account.

The Student Leader on duty (704-975-0217) provides lockout assistance at night (5 p.m. - 2 a.m.) and on the weekends (9 a.m. - 2 a.m.).  Lock-outs occurring between 2 a.m. - 9 a.m. should be directed to Campus Police (704-609-0344).

Cleaning Tips

Quick and easy tips for keeping your apartment clean and passing Health and Safety inspections:

  1. Use aluminum foil to line the stove-top burners.
  2. Clean the inside of your oven with oven cleaner.
  3. Use Soft Scrub for sinks, showers, and counter tops.
  4. Use shower sprays after showering to maintain cleanliness and make the next cleaning easier.
  5. Wash shower curtain in the washing machine and hang back up to dry, monthly, to avoid mildew.
  6. Mop all of your tiled floors weekly.
  7. Put away food, clean up food particles and take out your trash to avoid ant and rodent problems.
  8. Sweep porches and keep clean from debris. Trash on porches and first floor containers attracts skunks and other rodents; place all your trash in the dumpsters.
  9. Bring a toilet plunger.

The above is not an exhaustive list. For a complete list of items not allowed in the residence halls and apartments, please see the student handbook.
