The Residential Life staff will work with roommates who are having difficulty and will permit room changes only as a last resort. The Office of Residential Life must authorize all room changes before a student moves to a new location. There is a freeze on room changes during the first three weeks and last two weeks of each semester. All residence hall exterior doors are locked at all times. Students are encouraged to keep their individual room locked and to carry their keys with them at all times.
Fire poses one of the greatest risks to student safety in community living environments.
Students may not keep pets in their residence hall. The only exception to this rule is the keeping of fish in a bowl or tank. The Office of Residential Life is not responsible for the care and feeding of fish over break periods. Coffeepots are allowed. Cooking is not allowed in residence hall rooms except under the conditions above.
