Services
The following services are available to all resident students.
Housekeeping & Maintenance
Facilities Management
The environmental services staff is responsible for cleaning the hallways, lounges, and other public areas. They work seven days a week. Part of responsible community living is picking up after yourself, including cleaning your dishes and removing them from the kitchen after each use. The environmental services staff is not responsible for cleaning areas that are excessively dirty or abused. Most environmental services staff are assigned to a specific building. Say hello when you see them. They are a vital part of the residential community. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your RA. They will know where to direct you.
The maintenance staff handles any repairs needed in your room. Book your own appointment here for any needed repairs, such as sticky locks, broken chairs, etc. Please call Campus Safety with any emergency maintenance requests, such as a flooding toilet, malfunctioning smoke detector, etc.
It takes everyone working together to make this a community. Please do your part to keep our community clean and damage free.
Kitchens
Treat your community with respect and pride by keeping your kitchen clean and safe.
- Do not leave cooking food unattended.
- Dispose of all garbage.
- Wash and remove your dishes.
- Wipe up any spills on the floor.
- Clean splatters on the stove, counter tops, and in the microwaves.
- Double check to make sure you have turned off all burners.
Pest Control
Please notify our facilities team if you have any problems with insects or rodents in your room, including what and where the problem is. They can be reached at 585-389-2340. A member of the facilities crew will enter your room during regular business hours to take care of the problem. You do not have to be present. Limit the amount of food and debris to reduce breeding places for pests.
Radiators
Do not block your heating unit. Try to keep all furniture at least 12 inches away from the unit. Keep drapes above the unit. During the cold weather, keep windows are closed and locked. We do not have the most energy-efficient windows, so rooms can get drafty in Rochester's cold winters. If you feel that your heating unit is malfunctioning, please notify our facilities team at 585-389-2340.
Trash & Recycling
Please dispose of all trash in the large trash bins in the trash rooms on each floor. These barrels are emptied every day. Monroe County has a mandatory recycling law. Please rinse and place all cans and bottles in the properly marked recycling bins in the trash rooms.
The blue bin is for newspapers; corrugated cardboard and brown paper; paper bags; white and colored typing paper; magazines; notebook, duplicating, and computer paper.
If you have any questions, call environmental services, 585-389-2348, or the Monroe County Recycling Hotline, 585-253-4425.

Telephone Service
See the Telephones section on Nazareth's Information Technology Services page for students.
Nazareth is equipped with blue light emergency telephones throughout campus. These telephones provide direct access to Campus Safety. Or dial 3333 from a campus phone or 585-389-2850, on or off campus, to reach Campus Safety.
Neither the department of residential life nor Nazareth College is responsible for payment or non-payment of telephone bills and cannot address issues involving phone bill concerns.
Television & Cable
Each residence hall room and all lounges are equipped with cable access. Subscription to the cable service in your room is included in your room rate. Any cable-ready television and standard TV-to-wall-jack cable should work. A Campus Channel Lineup is available in the Time Warner packet handed out at check-in.
Several of the lounges are also equipped with VCR or DVD players. Please treat these with care. They are provided as a service and are expensive to maintain. In previous years, several of these items were vandalized or stolen. Help us maintain services for the entire community.
If you believe you are having trouble with your cable jack, please make certain it is not your equipment that is causing the problem. For more information, please call the technology and media services desk at 585-389-2111.
