4.24 | Noise
4.24.A | Sound carries easily. Voices, stereos, televisions and large indoor gatherings can often be heard next door, above and below you. Remember that while you have a right to listen to music of your choice, other residents have a right to sleep, study, or listen to music of their choice without disturbance. You may be asked by other resients or staff to adjust the sound/noise level to reduce the disturbance to others around you. Please be considerate and flexible.
4.24.B | The playing of musical instruments is permitted within your room as long as it does not disturb others.
4.24.C | Quiet hours are maintained to help provide an atmosphere that is conducive to academic success and to promote an environment where individuals can learn the experience of group living. The enforcement of quiet hours is the responsibility of each resident, with the assistance of the hall staff as needed. Each living area must observe quiet hours from:
- Sunday to Thursday: 10pm to 8am
- Friday and Saturday: midnight to 8am
4.24.D | Each living area may vote to extend these hours. The Office of Residential Living reserves the right to final approval for such hours.
4.24.E | Quiet Hours During Finals: To help promote an intense study period, there will be 24-hour quiet hours in effect during final exams in all Residence Halls. Students remaining in the halls after their last final exam and alleged to be responsible for causing a disturbance may be required to leave the Residence Halls immediately.
