Housing Policies

Single students who are under 22 and are in the traditional undergraduate program are required to live on campus. Upon check-in, each residential student is required to complete and sign a housing check-in/check-out agreement and a residential policies acknowledgement form. By signing these agreements, the student agrees to abide by the terms set forth in these documents. Most of the terms, conditions, and responsibilities of these documents are discussed elsewhere in this handbook. Therefore, students should thoroughly read and understand the policies and procedures in the student handbook.

It is the policy of the university to provide on-campus housing for undergraduate students up through 23 years of age. The university is unable to provide housing for students age 24 or over, married students, or students with children; however, exceptions for age are considered through an appeal process. The Housing Committee will review these requests, and exemptions may be made based on housing availability and individual circumstances.

The following criteria are the only exemptions to the housing policy for single students. Residents may appeal to the director of student housing for an exemption to the housing policy in cases that the resident believes there may be mitigating factors.

1. The student lives with immediate family members or close relatives who meet the age criteria (23 years of age and older).
2. The student is taking fewer than 12 academic hours derived from any delivery method (in-class, online, directed study, and/or evening classes).
3. The student is student teaching (education major) during his or her last semester while not taking more than nine academic hours derived from any delivery method (in-class, online, directed study, and/or evening classes).
4. The student is a social work major interning during his or her final year while not taking more than nine academic hours per semester, derived from any delivery method (in-class, online, directed study, and/or evening classes). Classes other than Field Seminar A/B and Social Work Practicum I/II count toward these hours.

Students who meet the criteria of living with immediate family must submit a notarized residing with relative verification form to the student housing office each year that an exemption from the campus housing policy is requested. This form is available in the student housing office and on MySEU. Students who violate the campus housing policy will be billed full housing charges for the minimum campus housing plan.

For assistance with campus housing when classes are not in session, a student should contact the student housing office. Housing is available from the time the residence halls open for the fall semester through the end of summer school. Please see the student housing office for separate applications and housing charges for Christmas break and summer school sessions. Unless an objection is made, residents are permitted to remain in their residence hall room during Christmas break without consent of roommates or suite mates.

Reserved rooms are held until 5:00 p.m. on the first day that campus residence halls open in the fall or spring semester. After 5:00 p.m., remaining beds are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The opening dates and times of campus residences are published in the current university catalog. To guarantee a room after 5:00 p.m. on the day that campus residences open, a student must send an email to studenthousing@seu.edu at least 72 hours prior to opening day. Southeastern can hold assignments only until 5:00 p.m. the day after the residence halls open — 24 hours. The email must contain the student’s name, ID number, day of arrival, campus residence assignment, and phone number where he or she may be reached. Without an email on file, a student may lose the reserved room and be assigned another room upon arrival.

It is assumed that when the university is notified to hold a room for a late arrival that the student will complete the check-in process. A hold-for-late-arrival cancellation fee of $100 will be assessed if a student does not complete the check-in process.

After check-in is complete (signing for the room key upon initial semester check-in and in the spring semester returning residents signing for their room key upon return from Christmas break), residents who leave campus housing are unable to receive refunds for housing and meal plans other than withdrawal from the university (see university catalog for withdrawal refund policies). When a resident withdraws from the university, through the withdrawal process in the Registrar’s Office, that resident has 24 hours to check-out of the residence hall. Since occasionally it may take longer than 24 hours for a resident to vacate the residence hall, provision can be made to allow more than 24 hours by contacting the Resident Director and the Student Housing Office. This should only be in cases where extenuating circumstances dictate. In these cases, the following will apply:

• The university does not need the vacated bed for another student and can allow the longer period for check-out.
• The resident pre-pays an $18 nightly rental to the Business Office.
• The Resident Director and the Student Housing Office does not see a problem with extending the length of check-out beyond 24 hours. In cases of extenuating circumstances, appeals of this refund policy can be made to the Director of Student Housing.

After the resident checks into their residence hall assignment, he/she may wish to relocate into another residence hall location. These relocation requests are arranged by the resident’s current Resident Director (along with the Resident Director of the other residence hall, if the requested room is in another building).
The resident can initiate this relocation by communicating with their current Resident Director about their request. The Resident Director will begin the relocation process if a vacancy is available, or develop a waiting list if there is not a vacancy in the desired location.
Moving to the new assignment can begin no sooner than the first weekend after classes begins, with the relocation process open until the end of the first full week of classes. Re-locations after
that date, through the semester, can be made only in cases of extenuating circumstances, in consultation with your Resident Director.

When a student checks out at the end of the semester, school year, or upon withdrawal from the university, they must follow appropriate check-out procedures. This process also applies to residents who relocate from one residence hall room to another between the fall and spring semesters. This process is communicated by memo for the fall semester and in a residence hall meeting, mandatory for all campus residents, usually held in late March, for the spring semester. This check-out includes the removal of all personal belongings, personally returning his/her room key to their Resident Assistant, and having the room checked by their Resident Assistant for cleanliness and damages. Rooms and halls are to be left neat and clean, and all trash is to be taken to the dumpster. Students are assessed a $100 fee for improper check-out. The university reserves the right to dispose of abandoned personal belonging and vehicles.

It is assumed that residents will check out of the residence halls before Christmas Break, if they do not plan to return to campus housing for the spring semester. A resident who plans to return to housing for the spring semester but has a last minute change of plans are expected to return the day the residence halls open for the spring semester and complete the check-out process that day. These residents are encouraged to call ahead to make arrangements with the Student Housing Office to check out prior to Opening Day.
Personal property not removed through the check-out process by the end of Opening Day of the spring semester will be assessed a $100 fee for improper check-out and an $18/night charge from Opening Day until the items are removed.
Property will be considered abandoned if the resident does not contact their Resident Director or Student Housing by the end of the drop/add week to make arrangements for the removal of the property.
Resident relocating from one residence hall room to another between the fall and spring semesters must be completed by 5 p.m. on Saturday, the day residence halls close. Housing relocations for the spring semester will only take place on that Saturday from 3-5 p.m. Exceptions cannot be granted. Residents will go through the regular housing check-in/check-out process in order to relocate to their spring housing assignment. Students must not move any personal belongings before the allotted time, of 3-5 p.m. on that Saturday. Failure to relocate during the allotted time will result in a $100 fee for improper check-out and possible loss of preferred housing location.
The spring semester check-in will be considered final and complete for each returning resident when they return on Opening Day of the spring semester. Residents who leave campus housing after this time are unable to receive refunds for housing and meal plans other than official withdrawal from the university.

Residents must vacate campus residence halls, except for those paying additional charges to remain during Christmas Break, by 10 a.m. Saturday, the day when residence halls close. Residents are expected to follow Student Life check-out procedures.
It is expected that rooms are to be left in satisfactory room inspection condition. Refrigerators must be defrosted, emptied and left unplugged. Student Life personnel will inspect each room for
compliance. A $100 Improper Christmas Break Check-out fine will be assessed for non-compliance.
Upon returning to campus on Opening Day of the spring semester, residents are asked to make contact with their Resident Director.

Private rooms are available only if residence halls are not at full capacity at the end of drop/add deadline for each semester and are available only in 2-person rooms (Bethany, Bauer, Buttercup, Aventura, Esperanza, and Destino Halls). If a private room becomes available, the university will offer private rooms for an additional $375/semester for Bethany and Bauer Halls and $400/semester for Aventura, Buttercup, Esperanza and Destino Halls. Private room request instructions will be posted in all residence hall check-in areas on Opening Day of each semester. The Housing Office will allot private rooms as available on a first-come, first serve basis.
Residents requesting a private room may possibly be required to relocate into an empty room and residents with vacancies not wishing to pay the private room fee may be required to consolidate with other residents in the same situation.

Students are responsible for their room key. Lost room keys should be immediately reported to the appropriate Resident Director’s office for replacement. There is a charge to change the lock and re-issue keys if deemed necessary for safety and security reasons; $100 (deadbolt) or $140 (lock lever). A simple key replacement is $20. Please see the ―Southeastern Fire Card section for lost ID card replacement policy.

Residence meetings will periodically be scheduled for students in respective residence areas. Attendance at these meetings is mandatory. Failure to attend these meetings will result in disciplinary action.

As a courtesy to other students, excessive noise throughout the day (i.e. loud talking, musical instruments, televisions, stereos, radios, etc.) is discouraged. An intentional/unintentional disturbance created by pranks or other such behavior that violates the rights of others is prohibited. Noise levels in and around residence areas should be minimal from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m.
During Final Exams Week, courtesy hours are to be observed 24 hours a day.

Principles of Dress Code
The Southeastern dress code is based upon the principles of neatness, modesty, cleanliness, and appropriateness. Modesty can be defined as anything that does not draw undue attention to one’s self or any part of one’s anatomy. The university desires to prepare students for professional careers after the collegiate experience. Therefore, the goal is for the student to be aware that churches, companies and organizations may require high standards of dress. Appearances or clothing that are extreme and exaggerated, or otherwise identify attitudes, philosophies, or segments of society that are in opposition to Christian principles, are not permitted. Extreme or exaggerated may be defined as that which is excessive, overstated, absurd, or distorted. When dealing with extreme and/or exaggerated fashions, the university reserves the right to modify its dress code policy at any time during the academic year.
Specific Dress Code Issues
At all times, men and women should wear clothing that is neat, modest, clean, and appropriate. Because modesty is subjective and body types vary; if at any time a SEU official (faculty, staff or RA) approaches a student about a dress code concern, your cooperation is required.
The next section explains some general dress code issues for both men and women.

• Modest shorts (covering mid-thigh and neat in appearance) are allowed on campus. However, it is strongly recommended that shorts not be worn in chapel or class in order to maintain an appropriate level of respect and professionalism that is consistent with the mission of Southeastern University.
• For women: shirts, tank tops, and blouses must be modest and appropriate. The back, the navel, and undergarments are not to be seen.
• For men: sleeveless shirts and tank tops are inappropriate for chapel, class, and the restaurant.

Shirts are required at all times.

• Women’s dresses, skirts and shorts must be modest and cover the mid-thigh. In addition, pants are defined as covering the knee when sitting.
• Students may wear earrings that consist of regular posts or hoops. Students are not permitted to wear body piercing implements or earrings with excessive gages. Students may not wear piercings in their tongues, noses, lips, eyebrows, etc.
• No articles of clothing that endorse alcohol and/or narcotic products may be worn at any time.
• More details concerning dress code guidelines will be discussed at various residence halls meetings.
• Footwear: For health and safety reasons, students are expected to wear appropriate footwear at all times.
• Chapel/Classroom Standard: Dress should be neat and modest and may not include pajama pants or slippers. Individual departments and faculty members may have specific standards that apply to student’s appearance while completing practicum’s or internships. Out of respect, we ask that no hats of any kind be worn in chapel by men or women.

When applying Scriptural principles to contemporary life in order to maintain integrity, honesty, and purity, the following questions may be helpful:

• Are my actions, relationships, and/or associations in harmony with Biblical standards?
• How do my actions, relationships, and/or associations reflect the Spirit of Christ?
• Do my actions, relationships, and/or associations compromise my Christian testimony?
• How do my actions, relationships, and/or associations reflect on the Southeastern University community?

Students are expected to use good judgment with regard to choices of recreational activity, television programs, movies, videos, music, internet use, and printed material. It is the desire of the university that students develop a lifestyle that is marked by excellence in character, leadership, and faith. The following information provides some of the guidelines for the social expectations of the student.

• A Resident Assistant or SEU official reserves the right to address/request that a movie, music or video game be turned off if it contains questionable content and is being viewed in a public place (i.e.: residence hall lobbies).
• Public display of affection should not be distracting, offensive, or otherwise create an uncomfortable atmosphere for others. As a guideline for the Southeastern community, appropriate displays of affection should be limited to holding hands, casual hugs, brief kisses, and walking arm in arm.
• Pregnancy and Abortion: Pregnancies that occur outside of marriage, while at Southeastern, are in violation of University standards. Students will be held accountable for sexual immorality and will be subject to appropriate disciplinary actions in keeping with our policies (see Discipline Policy section). Also, in the case of such an event, Southeastern University will encourage the father and mother of the unborn child to seriously consider their actions and experience the forgiveness that comes when Luke 17:3-4 and 1 John 1:9 are practiced by the believer. Pregnant students are not allowed to live on campus due to health and safety issues. Because the Bible is clear in its teaching on the sanctity of human life, life begins at conception. We abhor the destruction of human life through abortion on demand and consider it against the values of the University. Students (male or female) participating in securing an abortion are subject to dismissal from the University. Student Life, including the Counseling Center and Health Services, stands ready to help those involved in a crisis pregnancy to cope effectively with the initial needs it presents. Those involved will be encouraged to consider the options available to them within the Christian moral framework. These include marriage of the parents, single parenthood, or placing the child for adoption.
• Engagement and marriage: Students who plan to marry during their university years should file their engagement with the Student Life office. Premarital counseling is strongly recommended for all engaged couples. It is further recommended that the students refrain from scheduling marriage ceremonies during the fall or spring semesters.
• Divorce: Regarding divorce and remarriage, Southeastern University is guided by the Constitution of the General Council of the Assemblies of God. Students who experience marital difficulties are encouraged to seek guidance and counsel through the Student Life office, a marriage counselor, or a local minister.

Visitation is not allowed in Aventura Hall, Esperanza Hall, Destino Hall, South Pointe, Valencia, and Buttercup houses. A violation of this policy is defined as crossing the threshold of the door. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary actions. See visitation schedule for
Bauer and Bethany Halls (RA office has this information).

On-campus solicitations: Personal solicitations of funds, sales or services, on the part of students and non-students, are prohibited. Students may not act as agents, salesmen, or solicitors for any products or needs without prior approval from the Student Development office. This includes, but is not limited to, the unapproved posting of flyers, vehicle windshield stuffers or door-to-door sales in residence halls, offices or classrooms.

Residence hall furniture must remain in the room where it is assigned. The student assumes financial responsibility for loss or damage to furniture. In an effort to preserve living space, students are encouraged to limit the amount of personal furniture. For safety reasons, lofts and
waterbeds are prohibited. Couches, over-sized/easy chairs, bookshelves/entertainment centers, large screen TV’s, and other large items of furniture are prohibited in campus housing areas. All wooden products that are small enough to comply with the size requirement not in their original box are permitted only after inspection by residence hall staff to ensure that the wood item is clear of insects. Limitations and size requirements are designed to keep rooms and university property from damage by congested and overcrowded rooms and out of respect for roommate/suite-mate space.
Thus, please use the following guidelines for the most common items brought into rooms:

• Refrigerators – approximately 20″ x 20″ footprint (4 cu. ft. or less)
• Bean bags/satellite chairs less than 36″ in diameter; limited to one per room
• Entertainment Centers – approximately a 2’x3’ footprint.

While students are encouraged to personalize their rooms, rearranging university room furniture is limited and must be configured in ways that adhere to safety and damage avoiding standards. Upon check-in student will find their room furniture in a standard, suggested room configuration. Furniture can be moved as long as the configuration meets the below guidelines:

• Stacking of SEU furniture is prohibited in all residence hall rooms
• Unsafe stacking of personal furniture must be avoided
• Lofting of beds is not permitted
• Furniture must remain a minimum of 36″ away from the front window
• Furniture configuration must allow Housekeeping to reach all corners of windows at all times. Thus, furniture that partially blocks access to windows is allowable as long as Housekeeping has full access to all corners of windows at all times.

Students are encouraged to personalize their rooms, making them comfortable and attractive. However, decorations that deface, damage, or destroy any part of the school property are prohibited. At checkout, the room must be left in its original condition. Room modifications (nails, thumb tacks, paint, wallpaper, masking tape/double sided tape that leaves residue and other changes that lead to damage, etc.) are prohibited. Only sticky tack, which can be found in the campus bookstore, is permissible. Due to Housekeeping’s cleaning of window sills, using cleaning solutions, window sills are to remain clear at all times. It is recommended that window treatments do not cover the windows as it would be necessary for Housekeeping to move them. If window treatments are used they must be lightweight and breathable for air circulation within the room. Thus, blackout material, blankets, and other heavy fabrics are not permitted. Southeastern University is not responsible for any damage caused to personal window treatments due to window sill cleaning.
Students shall make no repairs or alterations of any kind to a campus residence including (but not limited to) the following:

1. Electrical fixtures and outlets
2. Windows and window screens
3. Plumbing
4. Walls, doors, and ceilings

In order to maintain the attractiveness of the residence halls, residents must limit personal decorating to the interior of their room (other than the Bethany/Bauer Hall exception stated
below). Nothing may be attached to the exterior of residence halls rooms (doors or walls), and items are not to be placed in the windows. This includes message boards, taped signs, window displays, etc. Window screens should not be removed for any reason. For safety reasons, all balcony ledges must be kept free of all objects, including potted plants.
Bethany and Bauer residents are allowed to personalize the exterior of their doors, as long as residents adhere to the following guidelines:
What is permitted:

• Message board (cork or dry erase) attached by magnet or sticky tack no larger than 24′ X 14′
• Small, decorative items to identify the occupant(s) of the room, personalizing the door (i.e. magnetic or sticky tack letters of the resident’s name or initials)
• Door hangers that identify the occupant of the room or give a standard ―do not disturb type of message

What is not permitted:

• Announcements, mass flyers, or promotional items (by or from any resident(s) or by other departments)
• Large items that do not fit the approved size limit
• Door wraps (other than Christmas decorations that comply with the Christmas Decoration policy)
• Statements (other that personal messages written on a message board) from the occupants to those passing in the hallways

Students will still be responsible for any and all damage that occurs to the door that arises from any item of decoration/personalization. Prior to the holiday season, instructions concerning temporary, external, Christmas decorations will be distributed.

It is expected that students have knowledge and are aware of, within reason, conditions existing in and activities taking place in their room. Students are held responsible for ―conditions” and “activities” that cause damage to university property. Any financial liability stemming from damage to the room, furniture, and/or property is the responsibility of all roommate(s) unless otherwise specified.
In the event that there is furniture or property damage that takes place to university assets in public or common areas of a residence hall (lobbies, bathrooms, etc.) and the responsible person(s) are unknown and do not come forward to accept liability, the university reserves the right to assess damage charges to all residents in that section or area of that building.
Items must not be dyed in the residence areas, as permanent discoloration may occur. Hanging items from the fire sprinkler is not permitted. Students are not permitted to burn incense, candles, or any similar substance in the residence halls.
Due to humidity issues that can bring mold and mildew growth, doors and windows must remain closed and A/C units must remain on at all times. Propping a door open with the deadbolt, which can cause damage to the locking mechanism, is a Level One infraction. Additionally, damage charges will be applied as necessary. Thermostat temperature ranges are preset. Residents are not to tamper with or attempt to change these internal settings. All thermostat adjustments must stay within the preset temperature range.
In order to create a safe living and learning environment and to prevent potential damage, residents should refrain from playing sports inside buildings (hallways, bedrooms, lobbies, etc).
Residents must store bikes and motorcycles in outdoor bike racks and marked parking spaces. Unapproved locations include rooms, lobbies, hallways or under stairwells. Due to fire, safety, and insurance issues, grills of any type are not permitted on campus.

• Computer/telephone problems
• TV cable problems
• All other room repairs

A student is not to enter another student’s room or use another student’s personal possessions without receiving his/her prior approval. Unauthorized possession of keys or unauthorized entry to any room or building is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct.
Ordinarily, rooms are not entered unless the student is present. However, the university reserves the right to enter and/or search rooms whether the student is absent or present for general maintenance purposes, weekly room checks, occasional bed checks, or to inspect the rooms for contraband and other prohibited items wherein the university has any reason to believe that contraband or other prohibited items are in the rooms. Such inspections for contraband and other prohibited items will be conducted by Student Life personnel in consultation with the Director of Student Life.
By applying to the university and being accepted, students consent to any inspection of their rooms by university personnel and expressly waive any objections thereto.
Stolen property, such as street signs, store property, shopping carts, Chartwell’s property, etc., is not permitted in rooms. Obscene literature, pictures, videos, and posters of questionable nature are not permitted in the rooms. Alcohol, drugs or drug paraphernalia are not permitted in the residence halls. The university reserves the right to confiscate any unauthorized articles or articles the university deems unacceptable and implement disciplinary action or actions as it deems appropriate, including immediate termination of on-campus housing privileges.

ROOMS SHOULD REMAIN LOCKED AT ALL TIMES WHEN RESIDENTS ARE GONE FROM THE ROOM. The university is not responsible for money, valuables, or personal property left in public or private places. Students should take measures (renters’ insurance or parents’ homeowners’ insurance policy) to ensure and safeguard personal belongings against misappropriation, theft, loss, or loss due to damage or dispossession. Students should immediately report any loss to the appropriate Resident Director or the Safety and Security Department.

To ensure that the university provides an environment that is safe, healthy, and conducive to learning, Student Housing is authorized to enter a room for inspection on a regular basis (usually once per week, but more frequently if needed). Since residents must live with others, it is the responsibility of the resident to be considerate of roommates and suite-mates and keep their rooms neat and clean at all times.
As the university promotes residents keeping their room neat and uncluttered, the Student Housing Office has an incentive system that rewards Excellent room inspection ratings. These awards include monthly drawings for reserved campus parking and two tickets to amusement parks such as Walt Disney World.
The initial unsatisfactory room inspection rating will receive a written warning. Subsequent unsatisfactory room inspections grades will receive a fine which will be placed on the student’s account.
Please see the Housing page on MySEU for further Room Inspection grading information.

Residence halls are not equipped for excessive use of electrical appliances; therefore, most appliances considered to be cooking devices are not permitted in student rooms. Small appliances and electronic equipment, such as coffee makers, mini-refrigerators (4 cubic feet or less), small microwaves, slow cookers, stereos, televisions, computers, clothes irons, and fans are permitted. Cooking appliances with open burners or appliances with grease runoff such as toaster ovens and Forman-type grills are prohibited in residence halls.
Due to existing electrical circuit ratings in the residence hall rooms (fire code issues), resident rooms are restricted to appliance wattage limits of 20 amps in bedrooms. Breakers will trip when overloaded. Thus, it is best not to use high wattage items such as hairdryers, curling irons, etc. in the bedroom where any other appliances are currently running. Use of these items in the common bathrooms, or the sink beside the bathroom in 2-room suites, is recommended, as there are less items on that circuit. See ―Wattage List of Commonly Used Items‖ flyer found in residence hall rooms at check-in for more information.
Electrical power strips should be used only with computer configurations. All other items (such as microwaves and mini-refrigerators) must be plugged directly into wall outlets.
Also, due to local fire codes, oil-based deodorizers that plug into electrical outlets are not permitted in the residence halls.

Animals are prohibited in residence hall at any time. Only fish in small fish tanks (10 gallons or less) are allowed. Prior to set-up, all fish tanks must be registered with the Student Housing Office to ensure accountability of tank size and to identify the resident responsible for potential damage. Fish tanks are limited to one per room and are not permitted in common areas.

Babysitting in the residence areas is prohibited. Small children with their families are allowed in the residence halls for a short visit such as touring the building, and should not exceed two hours duration.

Overnight Guests
On-campus students who desire to have overnight guests must make arrangements with their Resident Director. The Resident Director, with the consent of the roommate(s), may approve overnight visits. Overnight guests are limited to a two-night stay. Visitation beyond that length of stay will be subject to an $18/night charge, payable to the Cashier in the Business Office. Overnight guests, who are minors, must be at least 12 years of age and have a letter of parental consent. Overnight guests may not exceed 29 years of age. All guests are subject to university and residential policies.

Residence hall students who are planning to be out of the building overnight are required to fill out an Overnight Sign-out form. Failure to do so will result in a Level One infraction. The university does not take responsibility for locating students or for their safety on campus or when off-campus on personal trips.
Students are not permitted to be out overnight in mixed gender groups without permission in advance from their RD. Failure to comply will result in a Level Two infraction.

All resident students 19 years of age and under are subject to a 1:00 a.m. curfew at all times. In extenuating circumstances a student may appeal to their Resident Director for a waiver to this policy. There is no curfew for resident students 20 years of age and older. However, all students on campus after 1:00 a.m. are required to be in their dorm room; there is to be no loitering outside of a student’s assigned dorm room for any reason after 1:00 a.m. Any student who lives off campus is required to leave the campus by 1:00 a.m.
Students who are not in their residence halls by the stated curfew time (1:00 a.m.) will be subject to a Level One infraction (up to 30 minutes late). Anyone more than 30 minutes late will be subject to a Level Two infraction.
If an emergency prevents a student from adhering to curfew, he/she should immediately call his/her Resident Assistant and/or see his/her Resident Director within one school day of the curfew violation.
Regular curfew hours are in effect during holidays, summer school, and any other time students are on-campus. All curfew extensions must receive prior approval from the appropriate Resident Director.
Students found in violation of this policy are subject to the disciplinary sanctions outlined in this handbook.

To ensure the safety of the residents and to ensure the security of university facilities and the personal belongings of the students, the residence halls are locked at curfew. All other facilities on campus are to be locked at 12:45 a.m. in order to allow students time to return to their housing areas before the dorm doors are locked.‖ Students may receive food deliveries from businesses that provide such service until 1:30 a.m.
Students who need to enter their residence area after curfew must follow the appropriate check-in procedure through the Campus Safety and Security Department.

After curfew, students are required to use main entry doors of residences and enter the residence hall using their ID card. Students entering or exiting campus after curfew are required to sign in or out with security and include their name, ID number, time, and reason for being late or leaving. No student is to leave his/her residence or the campus after curfew without proper authorization from his/her Resident Director.
Any other means of entry or exit, or assisting another person’s entry or exit, is not permitted and is subject to disciplinary action. Curfew infractions will be given in addition to illegal residence hall exit/entry infractions.
