Hoverboard The use, possession, or storage of hoverboards (self-balancing scooters, battery-operated scooters, hands-free Segways and other similar equipment) is prohibited in Spelman College-owned or managed buildings, including residence/dining halls. Residential students should not bring them to campus as they are not permitted in college housing. They are prohibited on the Spelman campus until safety standards can be developed and implemented by the manufacturers. This ban is effective immediately. We ask that students please leave hoverboards at home because of fire concerns. This policy may be altered when additional information regarding safety standards can be developed. The College’s priority continues to be the safety of the students, faculty, staff and visitors on our campus. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact any of the following: Alison Cummings, Director of Housing & Residence Life (404) 270-5343 acummin3@spelman.edu Steve Bowser, Chief of Public Safety (404) 525-6401 sbowser@spelman.edu Kimberly Ferguson, Dean of Students (404) 270-5133 kfergu15@spelman.edu Policy No.  503  Effective Date:  1/13/2016
