The University of Adelaide Village
Rules of Conduct

The University of Adelaide Village is specifically designed to provide students with the opportunity to live independently in quality accommodation within a safe, secure and supportive environment conducive to academic success.

In the interest of maintaining such an environment residents are asked to read, understand and commit to adhering to standard Rules of Conduct as outlined in the Residents Handbook issued to each student during the check in process.

Some of these rules are listed below:

Alcohol

The University of Adelaide Village permits responsible consumption of alcohol.

Alcohol may be consumed within the privacy of your own residence providing each Resident or visitor is over 18 years of age and legally permitted to drink alcohol in Australia.

Alcohol may not be brought into The University of Adelaide Village between the hours of 10pm and 9am daily.

Alcohol may not be consumed in common areas of The University of Adelaide Village.

Management reserves the right to restrict visitors of Residents from gaining access into The University of Adelaide Village should they be assessed as being intoxicated by our administration or security Staff.

Cleaning

Students are required to maintain a consistently high level of hygiene and general cleanliness within your Townhouse/Apartment throughout the entire term of your Agreement.

Regular attention to removing wall marks, vacuuming carpets, mopping tiled floors, cleaning toilets, showers and the oven after use is recommended to avoid significant cleaning expenses upon the natural termination of your Agreement.

Condition inspections of your residence will be conducted three times a year by our Administration Staff and each time a Resident completes their contract and vacates.

It is important to note that all Residents sharing the residence will be considered jointly responsible for maintaining an acceptable level of cleanliness and hygiene within common areas of the residence.

Damage

Residents are required to report all damage to walls, floors, furniture and fixtures in bedrooms, bathrooms and common areas of their designated residence.

Whilst Residents will be responsible for all maintenance, repair or replacement costs, reporting damage immediately is likely to reduce your liability.
