Health + Safety

On this page you will find information about policies that impact life in the residence halls. For the full policy text, we encourage you to review the Student Handbook below. The policies for life in the residence halls are derived from local, state, and federal law and are enforced to assure safety of the community.

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.

Reports of damage or maintenance needs (including heating, lighting, and plumbing) for residence halls, campus buildings, grounds, or equipment should be made online through the Buildings & Grounds Service Request Form at https://www.bard.edu/bandg/. A Service Request Form must be filed for each trade (plumbing, electric, etc.) Multiple requests may not be combined on one work order. Use your Bard email username and password to log into the form. 

Laundry
There are washers and dryers in most residence halls. During the academic year, the cost of laundry is covered by room and board charges. No linen service is available. Please report any problems to the Physical Plant Office by using the on-line work order request form at https://fms.bard.edu/.

Please set washers on cold or warm instead of washing on hot.  You can request a drying rack through the Bard Office of Sustainability  - [email protected]
