Fostering a Zion Culture

Lamprecht Hall is a great place to live while attending BYU-Idaho. As you seek to foster a culture where you learn and live the principles of Zion you will have safety and peace. Your experience here at Lamprecht Hall will be one you will never forget! Please read the following information and contact me if you have any questions.

I am Shannon Neibaur, your manager. I am here to help you in whatever way I can. My office hours are Monday through Friday 1 pm to 5 pm. During those hours, I am available for you. If you have an emergency outside of those hours, please contact me immediately. Please feel free to email me: neibaurs@byui.edu. My office number is: 208-496-9271.

Lamprecht Hall is a part of BYU-Idaho on-campus housing. Our standards are high in all aspects: cleanliness and order of how an apartment is kept, and the standards of our students is high. Student Honor and "For the Strength of Youth" are guidelines that we follow. Please feel free to refer to them at any time. As promised, when we follow these guidelines, we will be blessed.

Safety - here in Rexburg it is often taken for granted, but unfortunately, bad things do happen. Do not go anywhere alone with people you do not know. Tell your roommates when you are going on a date, with whom you are going, and about when you will be back. Don’t walk by yourself after dark. Be smart!

Curfew - BYU-Idaho's curfew is midnight every night (with the exception of Friday - 1:00 a.m.) Curfew means you need to be home in your own apartment. Male visitors need to leave in time to get to their apartment by curfew. The gates are locked at curfew for your safety.

Quiet hours - are not just a Lamprecht Hall rule, but a Rexburg city ordinance. Please be respectful of quiet hours which are Monday-Saturday, 10:00 p.m.–8:00 a.m., and all day Sunday. Quiet hours apply not only outside, but also while in your apartments or in the lounge as well. Noise carries far in our courtyard and the walls are thin.

Dress and grooming - The way you dress is a reflection of what you are on the inside. Your dress and grooming sends a message about you to others and influences the way you and others act. Never lower your dress standards for any occasion. Modesty must be maintained in the courtyard, lounges, and yes, even your apartment at all times. Be respectful to male visitors or maintenance crew workers and cover your body. No tank tops, boxers, cheerleading shorts, bathing suits, or anything else that is immodest attire. In the summer, if you want to lay out in the courtyard, you still must be modest (wear knee-length shorts and shirts with sleeves). Remember to keep your curtains and blinds closed when you are changing. Flip flops and knee-length shorts are okay in the courtyard, lounges, and your aparment.

Visitors of the opposite sex - are welcome to come in the apartments and courtyard starting at precisely noon and must leave in time to get to their apartment/home by curfew. When males are visiting, please make sure that there are always at least 3 people in the apartment, that your blinds are kept up (not just open, but UP) in the kitchen and living room, and that the lights are on. Males are never allowed back in your bedrooms. We have a rule, "Four on the floor", that means, all feet need to be on the floor when you are sitting on the couch. This prevents you from laying by or on each other.

Keys - Each of you have been assigned an apartment key and a mail key from the housing office. It is forbidden to duplicate these keys or to lend to anyone not living in your apartment. Please take your keys with you everywhere you go so you do not get locked out of your apartment. If you do get locked out, I am available to let you in only during my office hours. Otherwise, feel free to wait in the lounge until a roommate gets home. Do not remove screens or you will be charged for damages.

Mail and packages - will be put out each day by 2:30 p.m. Packages requiring a signature are available to pick up at the Auxiliary Services Builing (ASB). If you have questions, you may call the office of Stores and Receving 208-496-2645. They will be able to verify if your package is there to pick up.

Clean checks - will be done every week (bottom floor apartments: Wednesday from 1-4pm and top floor: Thursday from 1-4pm) A calendar will be given to your apartment at the beginning of the semester so you know what to expect regarding clean checks. I will also post a clean check special that you are required to complete. Specials focus on one specific thing to clean and must be done "white glove clean". These specials are to help prepare you for white glove at the end of the semester. You are not required to be home for clean checks.

If you get three 100%s in a row, then your apartment will get treats. However, if you fail more than two clean checks, your apartment will be required to white glove clean your whole apartment within 24 hours.

Maintenance - please email me detailed information including: your name, apartment, location of the problem and any other pertinant information. The more details you provide, the faster things can be fixed. Service requests are put in daily and usually are fixed within 24-48 hours by the BYU-Idaho Maintenance crews. Please report any damages as soon as possible.

Movies and games - can be checked out free of charge only during my office hours. You may check out three items at a time for a week.

Pets - are not allowed. Fish are okay as long as the bowl is kept clean.

Fire - If you cannot put the fire out, get your roommates and get out of your apartment. Call 9-1-1 and then notify Shannon immediately.

If the fire is contained in a pan, put a lid on it, or a wet towell and turn the burner off. LEAVE IT ALONE UNTIL IT'S COOL TO TOUCH. Even if the fire is out, you still need contact Shannon immediately - I still need to be notified at any time of day).

Firearms, weapons or fireworks - BYU-Idaho prohibits any of these items. This includes any item that can expel a projectile or cause injury. All burning embers such as incense and open flames are prohibited.

Garbage Disposals - to turn on your disposal, turn the light switch (to the right of your sink) on, put the metal plug in, lift a little, and turn. Run lots of water. No potato peels, rice, or melon rinds. Never use drain cleaner in the disposal.

Toilets - the toilets here get clogged easily. In order to avoid embarrassment with the maintenance guys, do not flush anything that is not water soluble down the toilet. This includes tampons, pads, baby wipes, paper towels, etc.

To shut off water - in case of an emergency, turn the valve under the sink or toilet (whichever one is spilling water) to the RIGHT. Residents are responsible to clean up the mess when toilets run over and when a sink is full of dishes or waste from the disposal before maintenance arrives.

I advise you to do all you can to respect your home and those who live with you so we can be unified and always feel the spirit here at Lamprecht Hall. Thank you all for being here and enjoy your stay!
