University Student Handbook

Refusing a Reasonable Request

University officials, including Residence Life staff, have the authority to enter any area on campus, including a student’s room. This authority may be exercised in the interest of student safety, the protection of University property, or when a violation of University policy is occurring. A student’s refusal to admit staff to their occupied or leased space when requested by a staff member under these circumstances is considered a failure to comply with a reasonable request of a University official. If a student fails to comply with a reasonable request of a University official, he/she is subject up to a $50 fine per incident or other sanctions.
