Street Parking
If you park on Seminary Street, remember to pick up your
new street parking permit from the office. . The permits issued at the beginning
of the spring semester expired on June 30, 2013.Permits will only be given to
students who have signed a new lease. Students who park on the street and will
be leaving in August will be given a spot in the garage. We don’t want to you
get a ticket so please stop by the office and get your new permit.
Message from Michelle
July rent is now due. If you are leaving us in August,
pay only half of the July rent as we will apply your last month’s rent to the
rest of the July and the first half of August. If you are staying with us,
thank you, and pay the full amount as normal.

Parking is Free and Easy
As many of you have heard,
the University of Nevada continues to increase the parking fees on campus. The
University has parking fee increases scheduled every year for the next five
years. Fortunately, the residents of the College Courtyard Apartments don’t
have to worry about these increases. Our residents enjoy free parking that is
close to the campus. With our students, instead of driving round and round
looking for a parking space you can have another 20 minutes of precious sleep.
That’s a real bonus and another benefit of living at the College Courtyard.
Snacks Available
As
you study for your exams does the grumble of your stomach keep you from
concentrating? A quick snack can help you quell those hunger pangs. New snack
and drink machines are available in the first floor laundry room. It’s quick,
easy and convenient.

immediately after use, as other students may need to use it.

Need Storage For The Summer?

located on the second and third floors. These storage lockers are a great place
to store skis, bicycles, or camping equipment. See Michelle for more
information.
Please Don’t Drink and Drive
For your safety and the
safety of others, please don’t drink and drive. Your futures are too bright to
be wasted by a DUI or worse. Get a designated driver, walk or call a taxi but
please do not get behind the wheel of a car while under the influence.

Watch the Gate
Please be very careful when driving through the garage
gate. If the gate is going down, DO NOT try to slip under the gate. Once the
gate begins to go down it will not stop if you press the button on the garage
gate opener. It will only stop when it hits something and it could do
considerable damage to both your car and the gate if this occurs. The gate is
set to stay up an adequate amount of time for one car. You will be held
responsible for any damage if the camera shows that you tried to slip through
the gate inappropriately.

Laundry Rooms
Please
be considerate of your neighbors and do not leave your clothes in the washers
or dryers unattended after the washing and drying cycle
No Stacked Parking
Some of our neighboring apartment
complexes (to the west and north) have stacked/tandem parking. One car is
parked in front of the other. Can you imagine needing to go somewhere and the
owner of the car behind you is nowhere to be found? That won't happen at the
College Courtyard. All of our residents have single garage or permit street
parking.
Security is Important
Security at the College Courtyard
Apartments is a priority. All of our entrances are under 24 hour video
surveillance. Recently we installed additional gates and barriers to make the
complex even more secure. At night the College Courtyard Apartments are very
well lit and there are no dark corners. We encourage our residents to monitor
carefully who is buzzed into the courtyard.
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.
