Quiet Hours

Quiet Hours: Respecting others’ rights to sleep, study or generally not to be disturbed necessitates having quiet hours. Generally speaking, the sound level should be such that the music, voice, etc., should be contained within the living unit (room or suite). Quiet hours in ALL residence halls are 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday - Thursday; midnight to 10 a.m. Friday and Saturday. During finals week, the staff enforces 24-hour quiet hours.

Students being disturbed by excessive noise should talk with the resident making the disturbance. After this has been tried, he/she may solicit the aid of the Resident Assistant, Assistant Resident Director, or Resident Director. Students may file a formal complaint with the Director of Residence Life. It is the responsibility of all members of the section or floor to honor quiet hours.

Disrespect of quiet hours will typically result in a warning for the first offense. Serious or egregious action may result in an immediate fine and/or referral to the student conduct process.
