Policy Provisions
1. Quiet Hours
Quiet hours begin each night at 10 pm continuing through 10 am the following morning. However, during the first floor meeting, each floor may restrict quiet hours even more. Beginning the last day of classes and continuing through the conclusion of finals, a 24-hour quiet rule is in effect. Violators of this policy are subject to disciplinary action.
24-hour courtesy hours are always in effect, and residents are encouraged to respect the rights of others. We discourage unnecessary screaming/yelling in rooms, stairwells or other areas of the hall. Locate your stereo, radio or speakers away from room windows and keep the volume at a reasonable level. Try to reach a compromise with students in your hall if someone’s behavior interferes with your right to courtesy hours. If you reach an impasse, contact a staff member.
