What to Bring

Preparing for Your UMPI Campus Experience: What to Bring

In order to move onto campus our Residence Life staff has composed a list of things recommended for your arrival.

It is important to remember that space is limited in the residence halls and it might be best to try and not to bring things you don’t think you will need to create a more spacious living environment. We also strongly encourage you to reach out to your assigned roommates so that you may collaborate with them in gaining more insight of what you each should bring. You are not required to bring any of these items as it is just to aid you in planning for your stay here with us at UMPI!

Recommended Items to To Bring

Prohibited Items

Due to safety, security, or Residence Life policies; fire safety regulations; other related concerns; or all of the above, the following items are strictly prohibited in the on-campus residential environment:

Note About Renter’s Insurance

The University of Maine at Presque Isle assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to residents’ possessions within Residence Life units. You’re strongly encouraged to consider purchasing renter’s insurance, particularly if you’ll be bringing expensive items such as a computer, printer, TV, or stereo. Students may be covered under a parent’s homeowner’s insurance, so check with your insurance agent to determine if you’re covered under an existing policy or rider.

Additional Items of Note:

• Residents are individually responsible for sharing general cleaning within their room or apartment, all furniture & other contents, and common areas contiguous to their living units (bathrooms, etc.). This includes cleaning the bathroom that you share with your suitemates on a schedule determined by the residents of the suite.
• The University retains the right to restrict or prohibit a resident’s use of weight-lifting equipment, musical instruments, radios, stereos, and other items on University premises.
• Room re-painting or other alterations are not allowed (even if your guardians are professional painters, contractors, interior decorators, etc.)
• Road signs and emergency lights or signage are subject to confiscation as stolen property unless you have a bill of sale or ownership can be otherwise proven.
• Charges can be assessed for vandalism, malicious destruction, avoidable damages, extra cleaning, full-value replacements, labor &/or materials costs associated with repairs, or other appropriate costs or additional assessments above definitions of “normal wear-and-tear.”
• BOTTOM LINE: Make sure you are detailed when completing your room inventory and turn it in within 24 hours. Note any discrepancies found during check-out will be considered for damage charges, therefore, being as thorough as possible upon check-in is extremely important.

Furniture Reminder

As a reminder, all single and double rooms will contain two full sets of furniture (ie, beds, desks, chairs, and dressers) since rooms are designated as a double during the summer semester. Only medical single rooms will contain one set of furniture. Furniture cannot be removed or unassembled. If you are in a double room with no roommate, you must keep your items on your side of the room ONLY, in case you are given a roommate.
