Residents are responsible for cleaning their rooms, removing waste material regularly according to the designated trash removal and recycling procedures for their residence hall and maintaining sanitation and safety conditions acceptable to the University. Pictures, posters and other materials may be hung using tacks or masking tape. However, if paint peels when removing the tape the resident may be charged for repainting. All decorations, masking tape and tacks must be removed when the resident vacates. Students may decorate the outside of the room door providing decorations are not lewd or offensive, do not block exits and do not create a potential fire or safety hazard.
All residents are responsible for maintaining reasonable studying conditions.
Students have the right to sleep and study in their rooms twenty-four hours a day. To support these rights, the Housing and Residence Life Office has established minimum courtesy and quiet hours. Courtesy hours are in effect 24 hours a day and require students to be considerate of the needs of others and to comply with requests to maintain a reasonable level of noise. Minimum quiet hours are set by the University and cover specific evening hours. Quiet hours require that noise be reduced so that nothing can be heard from within rooms when doors are closed.
