Residence Accessibility

Bard’s Buildings and Grounds Department provides routine maintenance to prevent maintenance and mold concerns, and Bard’s Environmental Services Department cleans residence hall common areas on a daily basis. Buildings and residence hall rooms are inspected multiple times per year. If you believe that you have mildew or mold in your residence hall room, please complete a work order as soon as possible so the issue can be addressed as quickly and effectively as possible.

Student-Athlete Compensation

Bard College does not prohibit student-athletes from earning compensation or obtaining professional representation in relation to name, image, or likeness contracts or legal matters. A student-athlete who enters into a contract providing compensation for use of the student-athlete’s name, image, or likeness shall disclose the contract to the Director of Athletics & Recreation in advance of executing the contract.

Any scholarship from the College that provides the student-athlete with the cost of attendance is not compensation, and a scholarship will not be revoked due to earning compensation as a result of the use of a student-athlete’s name, image, or likeness, or due to obtaining legal or athletic agent representation in relation to name, image, or likeness matters.
