All cancellations must be made at least two weeks prior to the scheduled arrival date.  If the cancellation is made less than two weeks prior to the scheduled arrival date, this may result in a cancellation charge equal to one week's rate.

Check-In/Check-Out

Guests may check-in at the Clemson House front desk 7:30am-midnight daily.  Guests must check-out before 11:00am on the date of departure.  Alternate check-out arrangements must be made in advance with the Housing Special Programs Office. 

If a guest is planning to arrive after midnight and before 7:30am, they will NOT be allowed to check-in.  Alternate arrangements at a local hotel must be made for the night.

Room Keys/Building Access

Guests will be issued a room key and building access fob at check-in.  The fob will be used to gain entry into Clemson House after desk hours (midnight-7:30am) and onto the building elevator at all times.  The room key and fob must be returned to the front desk at check-out.  If a guest loses a room key and/or fob, the department will be charged $50/item. 

Smoking/Damages

Smoking is not allowed inside the building or rooms.  If there are damages to the faculty rooms from smoke or any other reasons, the department will be charged for the costs associated with repairing or replacing items in the building.

Parking

It is the sponsoring department and/or visiting faculty's responsibility to obtain proper parking permits for the duration of their stay in Clemson House.  If the visiting faculty guest will arrive for check-in after business hours (Monday-Friday, 7:30am-4:30pm) for Parking Services, Housing Special Programs must be notified in advance and will have a temporary guest parking pass available at the front desk upon arrival.
