 Tour The Property

Every July, the owners and management of the College Courtyard Apartments do a complete tour of the property to see what may be needed to improve the apartments during our annual “Flip Week” in August. Of course, we will give you advance notice and we are in the apartments just long enough to determine what each unit may need to keep it a great place to live.

Fight The COVID-19

We never know when a new variant of the COVID-19 virus may show up. Your best protection is to get vaccinated and get the booster.

GET VACCINATED

GET BOOSTED

We want you all healthy and safe!

Interesting Fact: Like fingerprints, everyone’s tongue print is different.

More Interestingness: When Elizabeth I of Russia died in 1762, there were 15,000 dresses in her closets.

Street Parking

If you park on Seminary Street, remember to pick up your new street parking permit from the office. . The permits issued last year expired on June 30, 2022. 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 Phyllis

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.

Interesting Fact:  Coca-Cola was originally green because of fresh cocoa leaves.

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.

No Hover Boards

Until a safe hover board is manufactured, they are banned from the College Courtyard Apartments. These devices have proved to be dangerous——especially when being charged. Having a hover board in your apartment could lead to eviction.

Interesting Fact: Parts of the Great Wall of China were made with sticky rice.

Interesting Fact: Boxing is the only sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the winner until the contest ends.

Interesting Fact: You can’t kill yourself by holding your breath.

Interesting Fact:  It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.

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. 

More Interesting Facts: While the Wright Brothers are famous as a pair, they actually only flew together once. They promised their father they’d always fly separately.

Need Storage For The Summer?

The College Courtyard has storage lockers available for rent for only $30 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.

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 an Uber but please do not get behind the wheel of a car while under the influence.

Interesting Fact:  There are 366 dimples on a golf ball.

Interesting Fact: The bulletproof vest was actually invented by a pizza delivery guy from Detroit USA, after he was shot twice on the job.

Fitness Center

The Wiegand Fitness Center is a short walk from the College Courtyard Apartments——just across from the Joe.

Interesting Fact: It is impossible to lick your elbow.

Interesting fact: A snail can sleep for three years.

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 allowed 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. We are pleased the City has added new flashing lights at the crosswalk!
