Work Orders

For the health and safety of our students and staff, our work order form has been adjusted slightly. For maintenance to assist, the student will need to vacate the room during the maintenance repair. Failure to leave the room during this time may delay the process to the maintenance concern. Students will be required to submit another work order for another time slot if maintenance staff cannot enter the room during the time selected.

If you experience a maintenance issue, fill out a Work Order Form.

From here fill in your name and contact info. Select a time you will NOT be in the room and explain the nature of your issue(s).

NOTE: Maintenance leaves at 4PM daily. Any non-emergent issue that occurs after 3:30PM will be attended to the following day. Maintenance will contact the student via the phone number provided if any adjustments need to be made to the scheduled service.
