Housing Handbook

The Housing & Residence Life Handbook contains our rules for living on campus. Please review to learn more about campus life.

Noise Policy

In order to maintain a living, learning environment in residential communities, an atmosphere conducive to study and sleep must exist. At no time should a resident’s noise level interfere with the academic community. For more Noise Policy information, see page 16 of the Housing & Residence Life Handbook.

Curtesy Hours - Disruptive activities in rooms, courtyards, balconies, stairways, catwalks, walkways, patios, pool areas, multi-purpose areas or lobby areas are prohibited. Residents are responsible for turning down sound systems or discontinuing noisy activity if requested to do so by another resident or staff member at any time. Courtesy hours are in effect at all times.

Quiet Hours - During quiet hours, loud playing of radios, stereos or any other noisy activity is prohibited. Quiet hours are enforced during the following periods, regardless of holidays or semester breaks.
