Quiet Hours Policy
As members of a living/learning community, resident students are asked to comply with requests by other residents and/or staff members to maintain reasonable levels of noise within the residence halls and apartments. Specific quiet hours have been established to create an atmosphere conducive to studying and/or sleeping in the residence halls. Each residence hall community with the leadership of the residential staff may elect to designate more restrictive quiet hours than those that have been established. During quiet hours, any noise (e.g., stereos, TVs, radios and verbal interactions) must be kept at a level such that it cannot be heard by neighboring residents. Continual violation of Quiet Hours or Courtesy Hours will result in disciplinary action, including residential fines.
- Minimum Quiet Hours in all residences are:
Sunday-Thursday, 11:00 p.m.-8:00 a.m.
Friday-Saturday, 1:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m.
Residents are permitted to agree to longer quiet hours through their community agreements, but may not agree to shorter quiet hours.
- There will be 24-hour quiet hours during exam periods beginning at the end of the last class through the end of the last final exam.
- Courtesy Hours exist at all times. At all times, students are expected to be courteous and to conduct themselves in a way that does not intrude on the rights and privileges of others.
- Respectful interactions are expected within the residence hall communities regarding Quiet Hours and Courtesy Hours. Any student who is not respectful to fellow residents and/or residence life staff will need to have a disciplinary meeting regarding the confrontation.
