Due to fire safety hazards, fresh cut trees or tree foliage are not allowed in residence halls. If decorations are not removed within this timeframe, the sponsoring organization may be billed for housing facilities' removal of the items. Doors should be locked whenever the resident is not in the room. Although precautions are taken to maintain adequate security, the University cannot assume responsibility for the loss of or damage to student possessions. Students or their parents are encouraged to carry appropriate insurance to cover such losses.
Security doors are a part of the security system in each residence hall.
In most halls, these doors are locked during certain hours and are not to be used at all except in an emergency. Some doors may be used by means of a combination lock or card reader. The resident has the responsibility to adhere to the rules in each hall governing the use of these doors. At no time should doors be propped open. Access cards are not to be loaned or transferred at any time.
