2.3.4.11 - Quiet Hours/Noise

All students are expected to respect the rights of their fellow students at all times. Noise coming from any room should barely be audible in adjacent rooms or common areas. Quiet hours will be enforced from 10:00 p.m. until noon Sunday through Thursday, and from 1:00 a.m. until noon on Fridays and Saturdays in all residence halls and apartments.

• Students may elect to establish additional quiet hours, which are to be posted on the wing or area and to be adhered to by guests. All other hours are "courtesy hours;" meaning that if a fellow resident or staff member asks for reduced noise, the request will be honored.

• Electronic equipment or other items causing excessive and repeated noise will be confiscated temporarily or permanently due to the disruption to the community.

• Each semester, 24-hour quiet hours begin at 1:00 a.m. the Saturday before finals and extends until the closing of the halls. Any student who fails to cooperate with this policy may be subject to fines, immediate removal from on-campus housing, and/or other sanctions through the Student Conduct Process.
