Directions to Lloyd Residence Hall


Arriving from the East or West (I-94)

Take interstate 94 to the State Street Exit (#177).  Take State Street north approximately two miles, through the campus area to Ann Street, which is one block past the light at Huron Street.  Turn right on Ann and take it 4-5 blocks.  At the end of Ann you must turn right on Obervatory Street.  You will see several Michigan dormitories.  Lloyd Hall is the first dorm on the right .

Arriving from the South (I-75)

Take I-75 north to US 23 (signs to Ann Arbor).  Follow US 23 into Michigan for 35 miles to exit #35 which is I-94.  Take I-94 West to the State Street exit (#177) and follow the above directions.
 

Air Transportation


The Detroit Metro airport is 25 miles east of Ann Arbor and 20 miles west of Detroit.  From the Metro Airport, debaters can reach the campus by special transportation services for about $14.  In the airport, follow signs for "Ground Transportation" and look for "Commuter Transportation Services."  They are located just outside of baggage claim in both terminals.    Ask to be dropped off at the Alice Lloyd stop at the University of Michigan.
 

Meal Program


The Institute fee includes the University of Michigan meal plan from the first Monday through the last Friday.  The meal program includes a lunch and dinner every day except Sunday when only a mid-day brunch is served.  These meals are all-you-can-eat buffet style.  There are many nearby grocery stores and take-out restaurants where students can purchase inexpensive meals at any time, including breakfast.
 

Housing


Students will generally be housed in double or triple occupancy dorm rooms.  Students must bring their own linens and toiletries such as soap, laundry detergent, pillow cases, sheets, towels, etc.  Students are responsible for the condition of their rooms.  Return of the security deposit ($35.00) is contingent upon approval of the condition of their room and nearby common areas by the Residence Staff.
 

Identification


It is extremely important that each student coming to the Michigan Debate Institutes have official picture identification.  In the past students without proper identification have had great difficulty cashing travelers checks and personal checks from home.
 

Mail Sent to Students at the Institute


Do not mail to the general Institute address.   Students will receive mail only at this address:

Michigan Debate Institute
Alice Lloyd Residence Hall
100 Observatory Street
Ann Arbor, MI  48109
 

Phone Calls


Each room will have a phone which can receive calls.  Students may also use this phone to call other rooms and university numbers.  Students will not be able to place calls charged to their phones, but can place credit card or collect long distance calls.
 

Spending Money


The Institute Fee covers all tuition, room, the University meal plan, and lab fees.  Students may need a small amount of additional money for the following items:

1.  Security Deposit.  A security deposit of $35.00 is required upon arrival.  It will be refunded at the time of departure after the condition of the student's room and common areas are approved.  Please write a separate check for this deposit.

2.  Copying costs.  The Institute registration fee covers the entire cost of lab photocopying. The Institute does not cover the cost of in-library photocopying or incidental copying done by students.

3.  Laundry.  Wash loads cost 75¢ and dryer loads cost 25¢.  Machines are located in West Quad.

4.  Debate Supplies.  The Institute Office sells basic debate supplies at very low cost.

5.  Entertainment/Off campus meals.  Students may want an occasional break from the dormitory meals and debate work.  A "night on the town" in Ann Arbor will usually cost around $10.00.  Late night pizza and other food deliveries are a common extra expense.

6.  Refrigerators are available at the student's option for the dorm rooms and cost $18 per room.
 

Should I Bring???


Recreational equipment such as softball gloves (for the faculty-student softball games), a basketball, swimsuits etc., can be useful.

A computer.  Students will have generous access to University computing facilities.  If you bring a computer, please understand that we can accept no liability for damage or theft.

Michigan Debate Institutes

Residence Hall Rules and Guidelines





The following rules and regulations regarding conduct and use of U-M residence hall facilities are established with regard to state and federal laws, and the Regents' bylaws. Residence is contingent upon your understanding of these rules and regulations and all participants must abide by them regardless of age. You will not be allowed to register until you and a parent or guardian have signed a copy acknowledging that understanding. If your parent/guardian is not accompanying you to registration, have them sign and mail us this copy or bring the signed copy with you. Faculty and assistants residing in the hall are subject to these same rules and regulations. Full cooperation is necessary if the Institute is to be successful, rewarding and fun for all participants.
 
 

Conduct



Alcoholic beverages, smoking, illegal drugs, fireworks, explosives, and all weapons are absolutely prohibited at the Institute. Dangerous conduct of any kind will not be permitted. It is illegal to tamper with fire alarms, fire fighting equipment and elevators, elevator alarms, emergency call buttons or calling 911 except in an emergency, or to damage University property in anyway. No pets are allowed. The use of halogen lamps, laser pointers, candles or other open flames, such as smoke bombs or snaps, is dangerous and their use in the residence halls is strictly prohibited. Each room will be inspected before you depart and damage charges will be assessed equally to all persons who lived in the room. All residence room contents have been inventoried. You must leave the room as you found it: you may not fasten anything to the walls or tamper with the window screens; you may not remove, disassemble or transfer any furnishings. Trash is to be removed on the day of check out. Litter will result in a housekeeping charge. Penalties will be enforced.
 
 

Anti-Discrimination Policy



Acts of discrimination or discriminatory harassment based upon an individual's race, sex, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry, age, marital status, handicap, Vietnam-era veteran status or sexual orientation are a serious violation of University Housing policy. Sexual harassment is illegal under both state and federal law. In some cases it may be sbject to prosecution under the criminal sexual conduct law.
 
 

Visitors



Only Institute participants and staff are allowed in the living areas of the dormitory. At no time are members of the opposite sex permitted in living areas to which they are not assigned, except for parents, guardians, or Institute staff members.
 
 

Hours



Debaters must be in their rooms or an approved work area from midnight to 7 a.m. Rooms will be checked by staff members at or before midnight. Excessive noise or rowdiness will not be tolerated. All audio equipment must be kept at low volume.
 
 

Deposits



A refundable deposit of $35 is required when you check in. The total deposit will be refunded at checkout unless there is an assessment by the Housing Office for failure to turn in keys or meal cards, or if there is room or common area damage. Students may only be checked out of the residence hall by the residence hall staff. The institute or dormitory staff must be notified of an early departure.
 
 

Keys and Meal Cards



When you check in at your hall, a meal ID card will be issued with your room key. If the key or meal card is lost, a new one can be purchased. Meal cards may not be loaned to anyone else. If anyone else uses your meal card, you will be charged the price of the meal plus a $5.00 penalty.
 
 

Personal Property



Neither the Institute, the University of Michigan, nor any of its units assumes responsibility for your personal property. For maximum security residence hall room doors are to be locked at all times. Outside doors must never be propped open. Uniformed Public Safety officers monitor all residence halls.
 
 

Penalties



Violation of any of these rules and regulations may result in immediate dismissal from the program and parents will be notified. Lesser penalties such as revocation of free-time privileges will be imposed as necessary. Debate coaches and principal may also be notified. Students who are asked to leave the Institute will forfeit their entire payment and must leave the institute within 24 hours. The student and/or parents will be responsible for any cost in returning the student home.
 
 

Room Checks



A room check can be conducted by any Institute Residence Staff Supervisors who have reason to believe that some violation of rules and regulations is taking place, or that a debater is away without permission.
 
 

Interpretation



These rules will ultimately be enforced and interpreted by the Director of the Institute to whom a student may appeal. The Director's decision will be final. This in no way diminishes the authority of other Institute staff who act in the enforcement of these rules and regulations. The Director will initiate additional rules and regulations if situations warrant. All participants will be notified if this becomes necessary and will be expected to abide to them equally.
