Quiet Hours
Minimum quiet hours for weeknights (Sunday through Thursday) are 10:00p.m. to 8:00a.m. in both residence halls. Minimum weekend quiet hours are 1:00a.m.-8:00a.m. in both residence halls. Residence Life Staff will hold floor meetings to assist students in establishing further quiet and consideration hours for their residence hall and for each floor. There is a floor in each residence hall that has extended quiet hours. The extended quiet hours for these floors are weeknights (Sunday - Thursday) 8:00p.m.-10:00a.m. and weekend nights (Friday and Saturday) 10p.m. to 10a.m.
It is a goal of the residence life program to maintain an academic environment. A residence hall staff member, as well as any other student, has the right to ask someone to quiet down at any time of the day as well as during specific quiet hours. If a student does not respond to another student's request for reduction of noise, the staff have the authority to give a warning regardless of the hour of the day.
Amplified instruments and stereos are only allowed if the volume is kept at a reasonable level which does not disturb other residents or other buildings. Percussion instruments cannot be played in the residence halls. Students are asked to courteously monitor room stereo music levels and/or close room windows and doors. Stereo speakers should not be placed in front of windows or facing directly out of windows.
