Quiet Hours are designated to give students an opportunity to study and sleep. While Quiet
Hours are in effect, no one should hear your noise in another room or study area. Courtesy hours
are always in effect. During Courtesy Hours as well as Quiet Hours, your music/bass, voices or
noise should not be disruptive to your community. During Courtesy Hours, residents must comply
with the requests of others to lessen or eliminate noise. Please note that persons affected by noise
have the right as well as the responsibility to approach the person(s) responsible and request that
the volume be lowered. Residence hall staff are available to assist in resolving these situations by
speaking with your RA or by calling the 24 hour desk. In mediating noise-related conflicts between
residents, staff gives top priority to the activities of study and sleep.
Quiet Hours are: Sunday-Thursday: 11:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m.; Friday and Saturday: 1:00 a.m.-
8:00 a.m. During final exam periods 24 hour Quiet Hours are in effect. Exact hours will be posted
each semester.
All visitors are expected to adhere to Quiet and Courtesy Hours. Residents are responsible for
the actions of their visitors. Violation of Quiet or Courtesy Hours may result in judicial action.
Quiet Houses
Quiet "houses" have been established to meet the needs of those students who have
expressed a desire to live in an area where a quiet study atmosphere is continually maintained.
These "houses" are located in Burge, Daum, Hillcrest, Slater, and Stanley. On these designated
floors, quiet hours are in effect 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. every day, during which time there should
be no unnecessary or disruptive noise.
