Your Free Parking Is a $400 Value
Parking at the University of Nevada is expensive. Silver
permit parking is real expensive. The annual fee to park in a silver permit lot
is $400. The parking lot at the southwest corner of Sierra and 11th
is silver permit parking. Right across the street is the College Courtyard
Apartments. Our residents enjoy the value of silver permit parking for free. Go
to unr.edu and find the parking permit and fee map to compare.
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 fall
semester expired on December 31, 2015. We don’t want to you get a ticket so
please stop by the office and get your new permit.
Watch Your
Step
During the winter months we make every
effort to keep the sidewalks and stairs free of snow and ice. Never the less,
please use caution after a storm. Use the handrails on the stairs and step
carefully when on the sidewalk to the north of the building as it is steep and
gets little sun.
Please Don’t
Drink and Drive
Your safety is important to us. Please don’t drink
and drive. If you drink alcohol (please be 21 years of age and older) get a
designated driver or walk home. Don’t ruin your life with a DUI or worse, death
of yourself or others. It’s not worth it.
Laundry Rooms Don’t Like Cold Weather
During the cold winter
months it is important that the windows in the laundry rooms remain closed.
Open windows may cause the pipes to freeze and cause considerable damage. This
will force us to close the laundry rooms until they are repaired. None of us
want that to happen so please be careful.
Interesting Fact: The first Sports
Illustrated swimsuit issue featured model Babette March on the
cover sporting a modest two-piece. The issue came out in January of 1964.
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 Phyllis for more
information.
.Free DSL is a $360 Value
In this economy, every dollar saved can help pay for
books and tuition. That’s why living at the College Courtyard Apartments is the
best value for University of Nevada students. We offer free DSL to every
bedroom. That free DSL would cost you $360 per year at other apartment
complexes or rental houses.
No Parking
The
area in front of the dumpster is a no parking zone. Cars parked in the area in
front of the dumpster are subject to towing. In addition, Reno Disposal writes
down the license plate number of cars that block the dumpster and violators may
have to pay for additional garbage pickups.

Vacuum
A vacuum is available for your use. If you wish to borrow
our vacuum it can be checked out at the office. Please return the vacuum
immediately after use, as other students may need to use it.

Fact: The consistency of your ear wax is genetic.
2016/2017
School Year
Residents wishing to stay
at the College Courtyard after their current lease expires must inform Phyllis by
March 1, 2016. If notice is not received
by March 1st we will assume that you intend to vacate your apartment
when your lease expires and we will begin the process of leasing it to new
students. Thank you for choosing us as your home.

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
