An example of such a company would be National Student Services, Inc. found at
http://nssinc.com/.
Community Standards
Community standards
have been developed by students, faculty, staff and Middletown neighbors in
order to better facilitate neighborly relations. All graduate students are
bound to these standards and are responsible for knowing and understanding them.
A copy of those community standards are located at within the Policies &
Procedures section of the Residential Life website at
www.wesleyan.edu/reslife.
Parking
All students,
faculty and staff must register their vehicles if they park on campus. Student
lots are located in several locations and require a student parking sticker.
You will be ticketed if you park in a lot and you do not have a parking sticker. Public Safety enforces parking rules
and regulations by ticketing, immobilizing and towing. Copies of parking
regulations are available at the Public Safety website at
www.wesleyan.edu/publicsafety/vehicles.htm.
There is limited
parking available on campus and around residential units. Units at Park
Washington are limited to one vehicle per apartment. All other graduate housing
units have limited availability; students whose units share a driveway with
others are encouraged to negotiate an acceptable parking agreement with members
of those units. Street parking is available; however, during times of heavy
snow, the City of Middletown may declare a snow ban, requiring that all cars be
removed from the streets. The Office of Public Safety, upon notification of
such a snow ban, will inform all students, faculty and staff via email and
bulletin broadcasts on voicemail.
