Quiet Hours/Courtesy Hours

Since study and proper rest are vital factors for success at the University, quiet and courtesy hours have been established as a necessary part of community life. This policy also encourages a sense of community responsibility in being considerate of one another’s needs.

Quiet hours are in effect from 10:00 PM to 10:00 AM every day. All residents are expected to refrain from causing any noise or disruption that would infringe on the ability of fellow students to study or sleep. Noise should be kept at a low level with room doors closed. The use of headphones for music is recommended during this time. Students who refuse to cooperate with the RA or who continue to violate the policy will be referred to the Resident Director.

Courtesy hours, when residents are expected to be considerate of the needs of others and comply with one another’s requests to reduce noise levels, are always in effect.
