Many of the dorms have an RA (residence assistant) that will be able to help you with most of the general questions.
If any larger problems should occur in the dorm room or with your furniture, you should contact the inspector at your dorm. Both an email and a phone number can be found in this section.
Lock Out/Lost Keys
If you accidentally get locked out, you should contact the RA or the Inspector to help you. After certain hours or if it happens twice, you should expect a fee.
If you lose your key, you should contact the Housing Foundation.
