Some of the policies are designed to create norms of behavior within a large, diverse group of people, while others are meant to preserve the appearance and function of college-owned property. We expect that members of our community will strive both to live within these guidelines and to be obedient to the explicit teachings of God's Word. Students involved in infractions of residence hall and campus policies will have a hearing with the resident director or may be referred to the Dean or Assistant Dean of Residence Life. Appropriate sanctions will be given to restore the individual to healthy membership in the community. These sanctions include restitution, community service hours, educational initiatives, probationary periods, and suspensions.
Fines have less educational value, but are occasionally utilized as well.
In addition, students on probation may lose certain privileges such as hall or room choice for the following year. Tampering with fire extinguishers or fire alarms in or around the residence halls is prohibited. Furniture in public lounges and floor lounges may not be moved from these areas. Items left in halls are subject to removal and a fine without notice by maintenance staff. In addition, biking, skating, roller-blading, and all other sports are not permitted inside the residence hall complex.
