If you are being stalked, threatened, or have concerns about your personal safety, the Public Safety Office can offer assistance and get you home safely.

Use the anonymous on-line crime reporting form to report bias based or "hate crimes."  The link also allows the anonymous reporting of other crimes and will assist in the annual Campus Security Act (Clery Act) reporting required by law. Information submitted via this link goes only to Public Safety. The identity of the reporting party will not be available to Public Safety or any other office in the College. Public Safety will make every effort to investigate the report, though in some cases it may be difficult to conduct a thorough investigation based only on an anonymous complaint.

You can also utilize the facilities work order system to request special event setups.

Workorders.oliln.edu is where all facilities requests are filed.  Here are some helpful tips:

East & West Hall laundry machines are owned and maintained by CSC Service Works and students can directly request repairs on their website at https://www.cscsw.com/request-service/ 

On the my.olin.edu portal you can find a listing of all the laundry machine ID numbers incase you have already returned to your room and need to request a repair.  We encourage you to forward receipt of these work orders to ResLife@olin.edu & WorkOrders@olin.edu to allow us to follow up with the vendor.

Your fastest source for solutions in the Residence Halls is your R2 or the R2 on call who can be reached at (781)953-0061.  We also have ResLife@olin.edu where you can direct any general questions or needs.  From here we might forward things like a lack of dry erase markers or empty printer tray to a student employee or connect you to your R2 or Hall Director depending on the need at hand.

In the residence halls, it can be tricky to know what to work order via facilities, request help from the helpdesk@olin.edu, or report to reslife@olin.edu for repair or refill.  Here is a quick list of items ResLife manages:

• Contents of Community Kitchens, like small appliances and cooking utensils (but not the walls, floors, stove, fridge, or sink)
• East Hall Gym Equipment and the contents of the Ball & Bicycle Room
• TVs & Collections in Lounge Cabinets (some are collaborations with clubs, like the Board Game Collective)
• Bedroom, Suite, & Lounge Furniture (though we work with facilities on the labor of moving items)
• Printer paper but not toner (toner and other issues can be reported to helpdesk@olin.edu)

If you are experiencing an issue and it is not an emergency, we welcome you to send it to ResLife@olin.edu and if it’s not something we can fix we will let you know and walk you through other repair request options.
