- Campus Strictness

Resident Life

The rules are put up everywhere for residents but are rarely enforced. Lots of warnings. Probably won't get in serious trouble for much, however most the students treat the school with respect because its brand new and beautiful.

Dry Campus

CCS has been a dry campus for quite a while now, but there have been dorm rooms that have snuck in alcohol (pretty sure they know who is drinking on campus, but so long as they don't hear or know all the details, there is no punishment). The RA's are pretty lax-they give warnings and will take action if necessary.

CCS has two campuses-The Taubman Center (TC) and the Ford Campus. The TC holds dorm rooms and design majors, while the Ford Campus holds fine arts majors and dorm rooms along with admission, financial aid, academic and advising offices, etc. Security is really, really tight on the TC-you can't get in the building without an ID; when the building is closed, you must not only have your ID but sign in at the Security Office; only the 24 Hour Computer Lab is accessible when the building is closed, and rarely does security let anyone into any other part of the building (unless you're a resident, then you can go to your dorm). You must have your ID in order to get onto the elevator and select a floor other than the main floor if you're by yourself. If you are seen without an ID, you will be asked to leave.

This is the exact opposite on the Ford campus, except for the 24 Hour Computer Lab there-you must have an ID and visit the Security Office in order to use it after hours.

Parking garage is pretty secure; you will be ticketed if you do not have a parking pass, or the correct one for overnight stays. There are two different types of parking passes-resident and commuters. Only resident parking passes allow students to stay over night/after building hours-if the commuter is staying over night, they must notify security when they check in at the Security Office or when security does their rounds around 2AM to sign people in who were already in the 24 Hour Computer Lab before the building closed.

Guests can stay up to three nights without roommate permission, beyond that all roommates must email Residence Head saying it is okay with them to stay the extra time. Guests must have either a state ID or drivers' license, which is taken when entering the dorm. The Guest is given a guest pass that color corresponds with the date/day it was given in return for their ID. If the guest is under 18, a permission slip must be filled out and signed by parental guardians in order for the person to stay. Guests with cars must also get a guest parking pass that is free of charge with the dates the car is allowed to be there (contains vehicle information). Cars without a pass will be ticketed.

Campus Strictness

There is a level of strictness at our school in a few different categories. The first is that you are expected to maintain a certain grade (a high grade) to continue attending CCS. Mostly, this applies to the classes that are specific to your major. The other level of strictness has to do with housing. CCS is a dry campus, so no drugs or alcohol is allowed in your apartment in the ACB or Taubman Center. You will get warnings and after your second warning you are on probation.
