Message from Rebecca Smith

As manager of the College Courtyard Apartments, I look forward to a great new school year. I enjoy being around students and take great pride in all of your achievements. I feel that this is the beginning of the rest of your life and what you do here at the University of Nevada will be the ground work for your future accomplishments. The office door is always open so feel free to visit me if you have a problem or need assistance. Office hours are 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. The office phone number is 786-1150.

Useless Fact: A kiss for one minute can burn 26 calories.

Win a Ride in a Hot Air Balloon

All residents of the College Courtyard Apartments may enter our drawing for a free ride in a balloon during the Great Reno Balloon Race. Get your entry from Rebecca. The drawing will be held September 7th. The ride will be on Friday September 11th at 6:15am. Even if you don’t win, don’t forget to attend this year’s race. If you have never seen the Dawn Patrol it is worth getting up early to see.

Useless Fact: From the age of thirty, humans gradually begin to shrink in size.

Need More Storage Space?

The College Courtyard has storage lockers available for rent for only $25 per month. The 4’ by 5’ lockers are located on the second and third floors. These storage lockers are a great place to store skis, bicycles, or camping equipment. See Rebecca for more information.

Useless Fact: The human liver performs over 500 functions.

Be a Good Neighbor

The goal of all of the residents of the College Courtyard Apartments is to achieve a quality education at the University of Nevada. An atmosphere that is conducive for studying is imperative. Please be considerate of your roommates and neighbors and keep noise to a minimum. We will not tolerate loud parties on the Courtyard or in the apartments and will take appropriate action against those residents who violate the noise rules.

No Smoking

The College Courtyard Apartments are non-smoking student residences. Smoking is prohibited in the apartments, on the walkways, balconies and the courtyard.

Reserved Parking

Only residents may park in the garage and only in their assigned spaces. Cars that are parked in spaces not assigned to them will be booted and there is an $80 fee to remove the boot. If someone is in your assigned parking space call 691-8290 and a boot will be placed on the car.

Look Both Ways

It is very important that all of you be careful when crossing Sierra Street. Even though the crosswalk is well marked many drivers are speeding or not paying attention to pedestrians.

For Your Safety

The safety of our residents is of the highest priority. The College Courtyard Apartments are under 24-hour video surveillance and all entrances are gated. You can do your part to make sure the College Courtyard Apartments are a secure and safe place to live. Never give your key or garage transmitter to others. Please report any damage or repairs that may be necessary to maintain safe conditions. That would include lights out in the common areas, parking garage, stairwells, front entrance and laundry rooms.

Useless Fact: Between 12%-15% of the population is left-handed.

Please Don’t Drink and Drive

We want to remind all of our students not to drink and drive. Don’t ruin your life with a DUI or worse a fatal car accident by drinking and driving. Call a cab, get a designated driver who will not drink or walk home. The life you may be saving could be your own.

City of Reno Party Ordinance

The Reno City Council approved the Social Host ordinance to provide criminal and administrative penalties for disruptive parties, and to help reduce underage drinking and related issues. The City will issue the property owner a citation and fine if a party is conducted that requires the Reno police to make a visit. As your leases clearly do not allow disruptive parties at the College Courtyard we should not have a problem. Please keep in mind, however, that your leases clearly state that if we are fined by the City of Reno for a disruptive party we will pass the fine and an administrative penalty on the offending residents.
