    • If there is reason to believe that the room is being used for illegal purposes;
    • If there is reason to believe that the room is being used for a purpose that violates College policy;
    • If there is reason to believe that the room is being used for a purpose that violates health or safety regulations;
    • With consent of a resident of that room or unit, OR
    • When specifically authorized by the Vice President for Student Development, or by their designee. Generally, student staff members enter student rooms after receiving consent from a College official.
