Dear Hall 8 Residents,

The 18th JCRC is pleased to inform you there is now an official channel for complaints or feedbacks, with effect from 14/12/2011.

FAQs

Qn: How do I go about sending a complaint/feedback to the JCRC?

Ans: Send an email to feedback@hall8.com. You would receive a reply in 3 working days.

Qn: What can I send to this feedback channel?

Ans: This feedback channel handles mainly complaints. If you have feedbacks about the pantries/toilets/hall facilities/hall residents, you are welcome to write to us. But for requests to book hall facilities or to find out details of hall events, please refer to our official website http://www.hall8.com.

Qn: Can I send anonymously?

Ans: We definitely do not encourage anonymous emails. We would love to know you! We appreciate your feedback, regardless positive or negative. Rest assured you would not be penalized for it.

The actions that would be taken are on a case-by-case basis.

A general guideline of the actions that the JCRC would take in response to a complaint of hall residents is as follows:

1) Meeting with the complainant to understand the issue

2) Meeting with the complained for a balanced understanding of the issue

3) Meeting with both the complainant and the complained to resolve the issue

4) After the issue is resolved, both parties would be required to sign an acknowledgement form for record purpose. The Senior Hall Fellow would also be informed that the conflict has been resolved.

A general guideline of the actions that the JCRC would take in response to a complaint of hall facilities is as follows:

1) Close down the particular toilet/pantry for one week if we receive more than 2 complaints in 2 weeks.

2) Case-by-case basis for complaints of other hall facilities

Lastly, I would like to take this chance to remind every hall resident to be considerate towards your neighbours and other fellow hall residents. Lower your volume after 11pm and keep the hall facilities clean. We also encourage you to try resolving conflicts harmoniously with each other before bringing up to a higher authority.

We look forward to hear from you.

Thank you and enjoy your holidays.

Best Regards,
Ang Hui Xuan

Usage of Study Room during this examination period

Dear Eighters

I had received some complaints on the usage of study room during this examination period.

First of all, I had observed that some of our residents are bringing their own friends who are not from Hall 8 into the study room. I would like to remind all residents that the hall 8 study room is reserve only for Hall 8 residents. When residents start bringing in their own friends, it will compromise the welfare of our own residents. Hence, from now on, there will be random checks conducted to ensure that there are no non-residents in our study room. Any non-residents caught will be asked to leave immediately and the residents who brought their friends in will be dealt with accordingly.

Secondly, many of the residents also complained that some of our residents left their belongings in the study room overnight in order to reserve the table. I would like to remind residents that this kind of behavior is selfish and we do not encourage it. In addition, there is also a notice in the study room saying that any unattended belongings will be removed. Therefore, from now on, after the operation hours of study room there will be people removing all the belongings that are left inside.

Lastly, I understand that the noise level in the study room is sometime too loud. I would like to remind residents again that talking loudly inside the study room is inconsiderate and will affect other residents from revising.

I understand that now is the crucial period for all of us and we will all want a quiet and conducive place to study and revise. I am sure this is the reason why many of us had chosen the study room to do our revision. Thus, I would like to seek your cooperations and urge all the residents to help maintain the conducive environment in our study room.

Thank you and all the best for the upcoming examinations.

PS: If your items have been cleared, please collect it from the Hall Office.

With Regards,
