At RIC we support clean living choices, and as such students are expected to abstain from consumption of all intoxicants while staying on site - regardless of age, or where the intoxicant is consumed. We have a zero-tolerance policy, and have breathalysers and drug-testing kits on site should the need arise.
We do not permit vaping or use of e-cigarettes on-site, as these interfere with our fire detectors; nor do we allow energy drinks, as we deem these to be unhealthy.

Places
Fire Alarms
Fire Alarms
Upon hearing a fire alarm, please leave the building you are in immediately and go to either The Pig Gates (next to Gordon House), Nags Head Lane (next to Dickens House), or St Margaret's Bank (in front of Gainsborough); whichever is closest. Once you are in one of these three places, you should wait for a member of staff to join & instruct you further.

Do not go anywhere until this happens, so we can ensure the safety of you and your peers. Please remain calm and aware throughout the procedure, following all instructions from us.

On-Site Security
On-Site Security
As well as fire alarms, we also have security alarms fitted to our buildings; including our boarding houses. These ensure the safety of our students during the night, and are armed when all occupants are confirmed in.

If anyone attempts to enter or leave during these hours, the alarm will sound throughout the building, disturbing all occupants & leading to a full premises search from staff; again to ensure safety of our students.

Should you wish to leave the premises earlier than 07:00, please request this early deactivation from boarding staff before 20:00 (8pm) the night prior, and we will be happy to help.

Further security measures are in place throughout our grounds and buildings, including window restrictors. These are a legal measure, and also protect against home invasion, so therefore must not be tampered with.

Other than maintenance, cleaners and boarding staff - who use their master keys in emergencies or to conduct room checks, clean or make repairs - nobody will be able to access your room.

Though every student has their own room, there are also a lot of communal living areas on-site at RIC for you to socialise with your peers. All areas (including your room) are kept clean by our cleaning team, but we do expect our community to keep it tidy.

As well as cleaning RIC, the cleaning team will also do your laundry! All you need to do is take it to Dickens House on the evening written on the poster in your room, and it will be laundered by the same time the following evening; ready for collection.

These kitchens are communal spaces, and as such it is even more imperative to keep them clean and tidy, so we can all use them and live happily together.
