Exam Week 3– Tri 2

Congratulations to those of you who have finished exams and good luck to

those with some still to go.

If you have finished, please remember that the Noise/Guest/Party free

period doesn’t finish until the afternoon of Friday 24th October.

This is to try and give those still

studying the best environment

possible to get in all the study and

sleep necessary to achieve

academic success.

If you have finished and want to

celebrate, that’s great but please show

respect to your fellow residents and keep the noise down. If you are going

to be drinking or celebrating, then going off site may be the best option for

you as we have had a number of people breach the Noise/Guest/Party

free period last week. Please show respect to your fellow residents and not

make any excessive noise during this time.

If you have any questions or concerns, please come to MB reception and

ask one of the staff.

Currently there a plans on more new accommodation for Burwood Student

Residences. In part of the planning process, we would like to hear some

feedback from students who currently live here. Shortly we will have a

survey that we will email out to all current residents which will give you the

opportunity to have your say about the new building. There might be some

things that current buildings (MB and BSV) don’t have that would make the

new buildings even better eg more rec area’s on each floor.

If you would like to have some input into the future buildings of Burwood

Student Residences, please fill out the survey when you receive the email in

the next few days.

No matter when you plan on checking out, you MUST leave your

room/studio apartment in a clean and tidy state at the end of T2!

For those at BSV and the MB Shared Apartments, your RLs have created

cleaning rosters for check-out.

You will not only be responsible for

cleaning your bedroom, but

communal areas as well.

Everyone in BSV and MB Shared

Apartments will be

assigned a specific cleaning task, so

please see your RL as soon as possible for

details on cleaning

expectations.

If your room is left dirty or if you do not contribute to the cleaning of

common areas, charges will apply and an encumbrance will be placed on

your Deakin account. You will not be able to access your results or re-enrol

until the charges are paid!

Clean Up Before You Check Out!

reception ASAP if you are:

staying for T3 (Remember, you don’t

have to be studying!)

wishing to extend your stay for just a few

extra days/weeks/months

This will assist us greatly with preparing rooms
