Quiet Hours

Each resident has the right to read, study, and sleep in her/his room free from undue interference.  Thus, a uniform noise policy was developed to insure that students know what is expected of them concerning noise:

 

Quiet Hours are from 11 pm - 9 am Sunday through Thursday, and 12 am - 10 am on Friday and Saturday.

 

All other hours are “courtesy hours,” during which time a reasonable amount of quiet is expected to allow residents to sleep and study.

 

Residents are encouraged to talk with one another to directly address any concerns about noise.  Staff can assist residents by discussing principles of assertiveness and confrontation with them prior to the development of any noise problems.  Residents may also consult a staff member when their efforts have not produced the desired results.

 

Campus Safety and Residence Life staff reserve the right to remove guests or confiscate the causes of noise if residents are not compliant with resolving noise complaints.

 

During final exam periods, quiet hours are extended to 24 hour/day schedules.
