All residents should enter and exit the building near the Community Desk. All stairwells are for emergency exit only. All residents must have a Creswell holographic sticker on their ID to enter the building. All residents must use their ID or 810 number and the hand reader (near the Community Desk) in order to gain access to the building unless physically disabled and unable to do so. If the door is open already, you must show your ID as proof of residency. All guests must be claimed at the point of entry and must be escorted at all times by the person who claimed them while they are in the building. The person who claims a guest is responsible for that person while they are in the building, this includes but is not limited to violations of University or Housing policies. Residents who live in Creswell can not be claimed as ‘guests’ of another resident. If a resident lives in Creswell, they must show your ID or use the hand reader. If a resident does not have their ID or does know their 810 number, they may sign an access pass-in card to gain access to the building.
Check-In/Check-Out Procedures When a resident moves into a new space within Creswell or leaves an old space in Creswell, it is his/her responsibility to appropriately check into or out of the room by coming to the Community Office (Monday-Friday; 8-5) to pick up keys for their new space and turn in keys for their old space. Questions can be addressed to the RA on your floor or to the Community Office by calling 706-542-8344 or emailing cressec@uga.edu.

No residents should be in any parking lot surrounding Creswell or on the Patios near the building. Residents of Creswell are expected to follow the directives and instructions of Housing Staff members at all times during an emergency. Residents should remain in designated locations until told to return by Housing Staff. While an alarm may have stopped sounding, there may still be conditions that prohibit residents from returning to the building. Housing staff will let residents know when it is safe and appropriate for residents to return to the building. Alternate Weather Locations: In the case of inclement weather at the time of a fire alarm or other emergency that requires evacuation of the building, residents of Creswell will be instructed to and should go to Brumby Rotunda and Russell Lobby. In the event of this need, Creswell staff will notify Russell and Brumby of the need to open these areas. Unless told otherwise, all fire alarms should be considered as “real” and should not be considered as a “drill”. If an alarm is considered a “drill” it will be announced at least 24 hours ahead of time.
