  • Mail forwarding: Mercer and D'Agostino residents may request to have their domestic US 1st class mail forwarded for 90 days. Please contact those who send you mail in a timely manner (magazines, credit cards, alumni offices, cell phone companies, banks, etc.) to change your address and reduce the amount of junk mail you receive by following some simple steps as junk mail cannot be forwarded. 
  • There is a $75 charge for failure to return your apartment and mail key(s).

This will be strictly enforced upon those who do not leave their apartments in acceptable shape for the next resident. This also applies to those who are switching apartments. Apartmentmates need to agree upon common space cleaning chores in the event that one leaves before the other. Charges will be assessed equally to all residents.
  • Please notify the Office of Facilities Services of any damage to furniture or fixtures in your apartment as a result of an accident, etc.
