Philosophy

老司机视频 seeks to foster an alcohol- and drug-free environment in which to work, live, learn, and grow. As a Christian University, we approach alcohol and other drug abuse with a combination of compassion, encouragement, directness, and concerned firmness. An aspect of this caring approach is the consistent enforcement of the regulations regarding alcohol and other drugs contained within this policy. The purpose of this policy is to ensure a safe environment consistent with the mission of the University and its goal of fostering an alcohol- and drug-free environment. The following information is presented in compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1989.

Good Samaritan Policy

老司机视频's primary concern is the health and safety of our students. Students are encouraged to do the right thing and "Step Up" whenever they see someone in need of medical assistance. Our Good Samaritan policy is intended to remove potential barriers to seeking assistance, such as concerns regarding disciplinary action by the University. Please review the Good Samaritan Policy for procedures and details about how this policy is applied.听

Please review the Good Samaritan Policy.

Prevention and Education

老司机视频 seeks to prevent alcohol and other drug-related problems by educating students about the personal and social consequences associated with the abuse of alcohol and drugs. Educational programs are offered on an ongoing basis and are coordinated through the Counseling Center. Resident advisors in the residence halls receive alcohol and drug awareness training in order to serve the needs of the residential community. Prevention strategies also include efforts to change inappropriate community norms regarding alcohol and other drug use and to alter environmental factors that support inappropriate use. Finally, the University partners with the community and parents/guardians of students to help prevent abuse.

Assistance in Overcoming Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse

For students who seek help for substance abuse problems, complete confidentiality will be observed to the limit of the law. Insofar as federal and state laws and professional ethical standards permit, no staff member at the 老司机视频 health and counseling centers will in any way notify the administration of the name of a student who seeks help for a substance abuse problem without prior written permission from that student, and no records will be forwarded to the administration regarding the services or the problem. Confidential counseling and treatment are available to students through the Student Health and Counseling Centers or by referral to appropriate agencies off-campus. Please contact the Counseling Center at 506-4210 for more information.

Regulations and Sanctions Regarding Alcohol and Other Drugs

Students are responsible for adhering to Federal, State, and local law, and to the University's policy on alcohol and other drugs. Students participating in 老司机视频 International Programs are also responsible for complying with the laws of their host country and any countries they visit. When violations of law or policy come to the attention of University officials, students may be referred for criminal prosecution and University sanctions may be imposed. Harm to persons or damage to either private or University property arising from the actions of intoxicated individuals on the premises of the University will be the full and sole responsibility of such individuals.

1. The consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages or possession of empty containers is not permitted on University property or at any off-campus undergraduate University-sponsored event or activity, regardless of the student's age.
2. Absent the exceptions explicitly outlined below, it is a violation for any student to be in the presence of alcohol, alcohol containers, controlled substances, or drug-related paraphernalia on any University campus. The only exceptions to this policy are that students may be in the presence of alcohol at special events on any 老司机视频 campus that are approved in writing in advance by the president, provost, or executive vice president. Undergraduate students, regardless of their age, are not allowed to consume alcohol at these special events.
3. Off campus, it is a violation to drink underage. It is also a violation to misrepresent one's age for the purposes of purchasing or consuming alcohol. This includes the manufacture, sale, distribution, promotion, possession, or attempt to obtain false identification (on and off campus). Possessing a fake ID may result in University probation on the first offense.
4. Intoxication, on or off campus, may result, minimally, in University probation on the first offense and suspension on the second offense. Intoxication is defined as a blood alcohol content of .08% or more (or based on local law if outside of California). Intoxication may also be determined by conduct (e.g., aggressive, disruptive, destructive, hazardous, vulgar), speech (e.g., incoherent, rambling, slurring) and/or coordination (e.g., difficulty maintaining balance, staggering) during or following the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
5. The refusal by a student to take or fully cooperate with a breathalyzer, field sobriety, or drug test may be considered as an admission of being under the influence.
6. Operating a motor vehicle, on or off campus, while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance is a serious threat to oneself and the community and may result in immediate suspension, expulsion, or dismissal. Anyone who injures another person as a result of driving under the influence may be permanently dismissed.
7. The attempt to obtain, use, possess, test positive, distribute, or sell any potentially harmful or illegal drug (e.g., prescription drugs, marijuana, cocaine) or drug-related paraphernalia (including hookahs) is strictly prohibited. Anyone involved in the sale or distribution of drugs on or off campus may be dismissed immediately.
8. The possession or presence of any amount of a controlled substance, as defined by federal law (which includes marijuana and cannabis related products, including CBD), is prohibited on and off campus. This includes but is not limited to the presence of marijuana smoke or odor, small "roaches," or residue found in baggies, pipes, or other paraphernalia. The possession or use of medicinal or recreational marijuana in any form is prohibited on and off campus. The possession or presence of marijuana, cannabis, or other controlled substances may result, minimally, in suspension.
9. The possession or use of any herb or drug used for hallucination or intoxication is prohibited on and off campus.
10. Promoting the consumption of drugs or alcoholic beverages by students may not be undertaken on any University property or through University-sponsored publications or events.
11. Any undergraduate student (regardless of age) or undergraduate student organization found possessing, consuming, or supplying alcohol or other drugs at University-sponsored off-campus events will be subject to disciplinary action.
12. Any student leader (including, but not limited to, Orientation Leaders, RAs, and Student Service Officers) who promotes or supplies alcohol or other controlled substances may be immediately suspended, expelled, or dismissed from the University. Examples of promoting alcohol/controlled substances include advertising parties either verbally or with flyers and inviting or driving underage students to parties where alcohol is present.
13. Hosting or in any way assisting or promoting a gathering (on or off campus) that includes drunkenness or drug use or underage drinking, whether intended or not, may result in suspension or dismissal. Those living at the location where the party is held may be held responsible as hosts regardless of who provides the alcohol.
14. Any student who encourages another to consume alcoholic beverages or any substance as a means to induce that individual to engage in behavior that would otherwise be against that person's will is subject to dismissal.
15. Any student who sexually assaults or attempts to sexually assault another person who is incapacitated due to alcohol or other drugs is subject to immediate permanent dismissal.

Health Risks

The use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs can cause a number of problematic changes in behavior and physiology. Alcohol, especially in high doses or combined with medications or other drugs, can lead to violent behaviors including acquaintance rape, vandalism, fights, incidents of drinking and driving, injury, and other medical emergencies. If you discover someone who is excessively intoxicated, unconscious, or in need of emergency assistance, please dial 506-4441 on-campus, or 911 off-campus. Doing so may save someone's life.

Moderate to high doses of alcohol may cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person's ability to learn and recall information. Research has shown that using alcohol or other drugs negatively affects academic performance.

The risk of having an automobile accident increases after consuming even relatively small quantities of alcohol. Low doses may significantly impair judgment, coordination, abstract mental functioning, and the ability to complete complex tasks.

Repeated use of alcohol and other drugs can lead to physical and/or emotional dependence. Alcohol or substance dependence occurs when a person continues their use despite recurrent social, interpersonal, and/or legal consequences. There is strong evidence based on medical research that alcohol and other drug abuse contributes significantly to heart disease and cancer as well as permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and liver. There is clear evidence of serious negative effects on babies due to the use of illicit drugs and alcohol by the mother during pregnancy.

The use of cannabis (marijuana, hashish, vape cartridges, oils, wax/concentrates, edibles, etc.) may impair or reduce short-term memory and comprehension, alter sense of time, and reduce coordination and energy level. Its effects can last more than 4-6 hours after use. Contrary to popular belief, marijuana is both physically and emotionally addictive.

Hallucinogens (LSD, ecstasy, and PCP, etc.) cause hallucinations. The user may experience panic, confusion, suspicion, anxiety, and loss of control. Delayed effects can occur, including ongoing loss of concentration and memory. Frequent use can cause permanent loss of some mental functions.

Cocaine and crack are highly addictive drugs. The immediate effects of cocaine include dilated pupils, elevated blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature, followed by depression. Crack can cause delirium, hallucinations, blurred vision, severe chest pain, muscle spasms, and even death. These drugs cause a temporary feeling of power, impairing judgment and decision-making.

Amphetamines (crystal, speed, crank, and meth) are highly addictive stimulants, which can cause one to "rush" around and appear stimulated. Amphetamines can cause rapid or irregular heartbeat, loss of coordination, collapse, and even death. Continued stimulant abuse can lead to mood swings, irritability, depression, sleeplessness, altered personality, and paranoia.

Heroin causes the body to have diminished pain reactions and is highly addictive both physically and emotionally. It can cause disinterest in relationships, reduced personal productivity, and workplace safety risks. The use of heroin can result in coma and death. Commonly used intravenously, heroin use is associated with a wide range of physical health problems (i.e., AIDS, hepatitis).

Prescription drugs (i.e., antidepressants, pain suppressants, benzodiazepines, fentanyl/opioids, stimulants, and tranquilizers) are safe only if taken as prescribed under the supervision of a licensed physician. If abused, they can lead to sluggishness or hyperactivity, impaired reflexes, liver and kidney damage, addiction, nervous system damage, or death, even in small amounts.

Parental Notification

The purpose of 老司机视频鈥檚 parental notification policy is to promote the holistic development of students and to foster an alcohol- and drug-free campus community. Among several interventions that may be used to further this purpose, parents or guardians of students under the age of 21 may be notified in the case of a violation of University alcohol or other drug policies. Please review the Parental Notification Policy for procedures and details about how this policy is applied.

Please review the Parental Notification Policy.

Review of University Program and Policy

Biennially, the University will review its alcohol and other drugs prevention program and this policy to determine the program's and policy's effectiveness, to implement changes if needed, and to ensure that the University's disciplinary sanctions are consistently enforced.

Prohibited items include, but are not limited to, firearms, ammunition, explosives, dangerous chemicals, air guns, BB guns, pellet guns, paintball guns, knives, switchblades, brass knuckles, martial arts weapons, nunchaku, throwing stars, bows and arrows, swords, spearguns, or any item that replicates or could reasonably be mistaken for a real weapon.

This includes but is not limited to providing false information, avoiding or resisting documentation, or failing to comply with an issued sanction.

Purpose

老司机视频 affirms that all members of our community are created in the image of God and therefore should be treated with dignity and respect. Our University Code of Ethics states that we do not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of any status or condition protected by applicable federal or state law. Further, we respect the inherent worth of each member of the community and do not engage in any forms of harassment. We follow the profound truth found in the Golden Rule, "In everything do to others as you would have them do to you" (Matthew 7:12).

Prohibited Conduct

Disparate treatment discrimination occurs in a University education program or activity or employment when: the complainant was subjected to an adverse action and was harmed; the complainant鈥檚 protected status was the respondent鈥檚 substantial motivating reason for the adverse action; and the respondent鈥檚 conduct was a substantial factor in causing the harm.

Disparate impact discrimination occurs in a University education program or activity or employment when: the University has a policy or practice that does not reference a protected status that has an unlawful disproportionate adverse effect on a specific protected status or results in an unlawful adverse action; a complainant identifies as having the specific protected status and was harmed by the policy or practice; the University鈥檚 policy or practice was a substantial factor in causing the harm; and for cases involving employment discrimination, the policy or practice is not job-related nor consistent with business necessity.

Harassment is defined as conduct that is so severe and/or pervasive, and objectively offensive, that its effect, whether or not intended, impairs a person's ability to participate in the University's educational programs and activities or their living environment. Objectively offensive conduct means that it must be offensive both to the recipient of the conduct and to a "reasonable person" in the recipient's circumstances.

Retaliation is any materially adverse action against a person because that person has asserted a good faith complaint of discrimination or harassment, or assists in providing information regarding a complaint of discrimination or harassment. Retaliation includes threats, intimidation, harassment, coercion, discrimination, violence, or any other conduct by the University, a student, or an employee or other person authorized by the University to provide aid, benefit, or service under the University鈥檚 education program or activity, for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege secured by this Policy or by law. Adverse action does not include perceived or petty slights, or trivial annoyances.

Because of our commitment to honoring the dignity and respect of every individual, unlawful discrimination and harassment (and any related retaliation) is prohibited and will result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the University. The University鈥檚 commitment to non-discrimination applies to conduct by all University members, including students, faculty, and staff, when engaged in activities sponsored by the University or otherwise related to the University or its business, whether on or off campus.

This Policy is also enforced to maintain compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which specifically prohibits discrimination and retaliation on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, or national origin, including shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics (e.g., Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Arab, Sikh, Hindu, Palestinian, Israeli, and South Asian identities). Protection from race, color, or national origin discrimination extends to discrimination, including harassment, based on an individual鈥檚 actual or perceived (i) shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics or (ii) citizenship or residency in a country with a dominant religion or distinct religious identity. Conduct that violates Title VI is expressly prohibited by this Policy.

To be considered a violation of Title VI, the conduct must be based upon an individual鈥檚 actual or perceived protected characteristic (e.g., race, color, national origin, shared ancestry or ethnic characteristics) and, considering the totality of the circumstances, creates a hostile environment, which is defined as conduct that is subjectively and objectively offensive and so severe or pervasive that it limits or denies a person鈥檚 ability to participate in or benefit from a university education program or activity.

How to Report a Concern

The University encourages all community members to immediately report Title VI concerns as well as any other conduct prohibited by this Policy to the University Title VI Coordinator, identified below.

Community members can expect the University to take appropriate steps to assess the situation and, as necessary and allowed by law, cause any harassing activity to cease, prevent its recurrence, and remedy any effects of the harassing activity.

Title VI concerns should be reported directly to the University Title VI Coordinator, whether experienced firsthand or not. In partnership and consultation with relevant stakeholders, the Title VI Coordinator will seek to:

• Provide appropriate and reasonable supportive measures to the person(s) who experienced the potential discrimination or harassment;
• Assess, in conjunction with relevant stakeholders, if the action, individually or in conjunction with other actions, creates a hostile environment under Title VI;
• Assess, in conjunction with relevant stakeholders, if the reported action is protected by the First Amendment;
• Determine the appropriate grievance options and procedure, referring to another University department, as needed;
• Recommend actions, if needed, to address the effects of the misconduct and prevent future occurrences; and
• Maintain a record of the report.

Pursuant to University policy, allegations of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation perpetrated against an employee or by an employee are managed by Human Resources in coordination with the Title VI Coordinator, and complaints of sex-based discrimination for all community members are handled under the University鈥檚 Sexual Misconduct Policy. Complaints under this Policy received by the Title VI Coordinator or another resource may be routed to another department to be processed under another University policy as appropriate.

For further support and dialogue, community members are also invited to discuss reported concerns with the Office of Community Belonging.听

The University reserves the right to independently investigate incidents when necessary for safety reasons, to maintain the educational environment, or when University policies may be implicated. The University also reserves the right to address hostile climate claims under this Policy in cases where an individual respondent cannot be identified. 听

Students may request to speak to a confidential resource at the Student Counseling Center located at TCC 270 or at (310) 506-4210 or by contacting the University Chaplain at TCC 106A or at (310) 506-8558.听

Anonymous reports may be made on the anonymous Wave Tip line by calling voicemail at (310) 506-7634 or on the LiveSafe app. In the event of an emergency, call 911, 听followed by the Department of Public Safety at 310-506-4441, if it is safe to do so.

Application of the Family Educational Rights and 听Privacy Act of 1974

FERPA stands for Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (sometimes called the Buckley Amendment). The purpose of FERPA is to afford certain rights to students concerning their education records. Community members can read more about FERPA in the University鈥檚 Student Records Policies. 听

Information related to a report made under this Policy may be shared with school officials who 鈥渘eed to know鈥� to assist in the assessment, investigation, and resolution of the report. Reporting a Title VI concern or otherwise reporting discrimination or harassment does not automatically entitle the reporter, the victim, or any other members of the community to access or receive another student鈥檚 educational records.

Training and Prevention Education听

The University community is provided important training information annually that covers: 听

• The importance of upholding the University's values of respect and inclusion; 听
• The University's obligations under Title VI, which prohibits discrimination based 听on race, color, national or ethnic origin (including shared ancestry or ethnic 听characteristics); 听
• Identification and reporting procedures for incidents of discrimination or 听harassment; and 听
• The reporting process and the provision of supportive measures.

Purpose

老司机视频 is committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and Christian values, which strengthen lives for purpose, service, and leadership. Hazing is a violation of our Christian teaching that all people are created in the image of God and should be treated with dignity and respect. Therefore, 老司机视频 is dedicated to a University community free of hazing.

This policy is designed to comply with the Federal Stop Campus Hazing Act (HR 5646) and the California Stop Campus Hazing Act (AB 2193), and reflects 老司机视频鈥檚 commitment to creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all students and employees.

Policy

Hazing is prohibited by federal law, state law, and University policy. This policy applies to all employees and students, organizations, including but not limited to student organizations governed by the Inter-Club Council (ICC), Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC), National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations (NALFO), National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), Panhellenic Council, Sports Club Council, athletic teams, and unrecognized student organizations (e.g. organizations who were once recognized but lost their charter).听

It is unlawful to engage in hazing. See California Penal Code section 245.6 ("Matt's Law") and Education Code section 66305 et seq. Individuals found guilty of hazing may be imprisoned and/or fined.

• Activities that would unreasonably interfere with students' other activities or obligations (academic, extracurricular, family, religious, etc.)

Passive Participation and Consent

A passive participant is a member who witnesses hazing but fails to intervene or report it. Passive participants are held accountable under this policy.

Consent is not a defense to hazing. Pressure to belong may invalidate genuine consent, and even voluntary participation does not excuse hazing behavior.

Students at 老司机视频 Caruso School of Law are treated as members of the legal profession to which they aspire and are expected to conduct themselves accordingly.

The American Bar Association's Code of Professional Responsibility provides: "A lawyer should maintain high standards of professional conduct and should encourage fellow lawyers to do likewise. He should be temperate and dignified, and shall refrain from all illegal and morally reprehensible conduct. Because of his position in society, even minor violations of the law by a lawyer may diminish public confidence in the legal profession. Obedience to law exemplifies respect for law. To lawyers especially, respect for the law should be more than a platitude."

A similar moral responsibility rests upon the 老司机视频 law student in every aspect of law school life. The Academic Honor Code, administered by elected student representatives, is a central part of the law school's culture. The theme of the honor system is that a lawyer's integrity is the basis of our legal system. The Student Code of Conduct governs non-academic behavior.听

Using a motor vehicle at 老司机视频 must be considered a privilege with accompanying responsibilities. The safety of our campus community and the University's relationship with the Malibu community may be improved or hampered by the thoughtfulness or lack thereof displayed by those who drive.

The California classification for a motor vehicle is applicable at 老司机视频; motor vehicles include all types of vehicles, motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds. Drivers and owners are responsible for knowing and obeying California vehicle laws and the special rules related to the Malibu campus. The policies are available on the Public Safety website. The driver of a vehicle on campus is always responsible for his or her actions and for adhering to applicable vehicle regulations. The registered owner of a vehicle is responsible for any violations of the regulations, even if that registered owner is not the driver.

Any person who has a motor vehicle on campus, including motorcycles and scooters, whether licensed for street use or not, must register the vehicle with the Department of Public Safety and properly display the vehicle registration permit on the lower left corner of the windshield. Permits on motorcycles, scooters, or bikes should be placed in a visible location. Failure to register a vehicle on campus will result in a citation, fine, and possibly further disciplinary action. The University requires all vehicles on campus to be covered by public liability and property damage insurance. This insurance must be maintained at all times the vehicle is used on campus. Vehicle registration must be renewed annually.

Under certain circumstances, vehicles on campus may be accessed, and the contents inventoried. These circumstances include but are not limited to: vehicle impound or relocation; retrieval of University property; vehicles containing a lost, stolen, fraudulent, or altered permit or pass; using another person's permit; or a vehicle involved in suspicious or criminal activity.

Visitors must obtain a visitor pass at a security booth before parking on campus. Students bringing a car other than the one registered must obtain a Temporary Student Parking Pass at the booth. Obtain this temporary pass from the Department of Public Safety for vehicles used for a specified period of time. Students should not request visitor passes.

Gated parking lots are reserved for faculty and staff. Parking regulations are available at the time of vehicle registration. These instructions designate appropriate areas for student parking. Students are responsible for parking only in appropriate areas, even when an unauthorized area is accessible.

All traffic and parking regulations must be obeyed. Violators are subject to a fine for each offense, vehicle immobilization, relocation, and/or impound. Repeated violations will be added to the student's disciplinary record in the Office of Community Standards and may result in the loss of campus parking privileges and disciplinary action. The speed limit on campus is 25 mph, except in parking lots, the residential area, and roundabout intersections. Students who are documented for reckless driving will face disciplinary action. Reckless driving is defined as "any person who drives any vehicle on campus with a willful disregard for the safety of persons or property as illustrated by, but not limited to, the following:

• Excessive speeds of 20 mph or more over the posted speed limit of 25 mph on campus streets;
• Excessive speeds of 15 mph or more over the posted speed limit of 10 mph or under;
• Failing to stop at a posted stop sign while pedestrians are in a crosswalk;
• Failing to stop at multiple stop signs;
• Driving at high speeds on sidewalks and endangering pedestrians;
• Driving or parking on the wrong side of the street, forcing oncoming traffic to take evasive action.

Bicycles are permitted on campus, and students who ride them are expected to obey the rules of courtesy and to give pedestrians the right of way. Bikes are not permitted inside buildings or on sidewalks or walkways.

Motorcycles, scooters, or any other motorized vehicles are restricted to public roadways and parking lots and are not permitted on campus walks or fields. Riding skateboards, roller skates, scooters (e.g., "Razors") and roller blades is prohibited anywhere and anytime on campus. Motorcycles must be registered with the Department of Public Safety and have a permit prominently displayed.

老司机视频 is not responsible for damage to any vehicle or accessory articles left in it, or for the theft of or fire in any vehicle, or for injury to any person in or by that vehicle. Gasoline for motor vehicles may not be stored or kept on campus.

老司机视频 Parking and Traffic Regulations are adopted by the Board of Regents pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 21113(a). Unless otherwise provided for by these regulations, all of the provisions of the California Vehicle Code relating to traffic upon the highways shall be applicable on 老司机视频 property. For a full explanation of all vehicle regulations, refer to the parking and traffic regulations available when registering for your parking permit and available on the Department of Public Safety website. Citations are viewable online at pepperdine.thepermitstore.com approximately twenty-four hours after a citation is issued. The recipient may pay or submit an appeal by entering the vehicle license plate number or citation number. Citation appeals may not be considered after ten days.

Residents are not permitted to enter, access, occupy, remain in, or otherwise use University premises, facilities, or spaces without authorization. Unauthorized spaces may include, but are not limited to, building rooftops, storage areas, maintenance facilities, vacant rooms, closed facilities, restricted areas, or any other location for which the resident has not been granted access or approval.

Residents may not reside in, sleep in, store personal belongings in, or otherwise use a University housing space as a living area unless they have been assigned, approved, or authorized to occupy that space by Housing and Residence Life. This includes, but is not limited to, occupying a room, apartment, suite, common area, or other residential space without an approved housing assignment, booking, or authorization.

Residents who occupy, reside in, or otherwise use a University housing space without authorization may be subject to disciplinary action and may be assessed applicable housing fees, meal plan charges, damages, or other associated costs resulting from the unauthorized occupancy.

Housing and Residence Life strives to fulfill 老司机视频's mission by providing an atmosphere conducive to academic, social, and spiritual growth within a diverse residential community. One method used to fulfill that mission is the Basic Human Respect (BHR) program, which is facilitated by Resident Advisors within the first two weeks of the semester or when a new roommate moves in. This program provides a resource for residents to express concerns, mediate conflict, strengthen communication, and foster a respectful and supportive living environment. The program creates a foundation for healthy communication between residents before conflicts arise.

More broadly, the program also reflects the University鈥檚 expectations regarding decorum, consideration for others, and reasonable behavior within shared living environments and community spaces. Residents are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that respects others' ability to study, sleep, live, work, and participate fully in the residential community without unreasonable disruption or interference.

All residents are expected to participate in the BHR program and complete a roommate covenant while living on campus. This includes, but is not limited to, participation in designated BHR and Community Life Orientation Meetings (CLOMs) throughout each semester. Failure to participate in required BHR-related processes, failure to comply with agreed-upon roommate covenant expectations, or conduct inconsistent with the principles of basic human respect may result in educational, disciplinary, housing relocation (temporary or permanent), or another housing-related action.

The use of residential facilities for any commercial purpose, commercial solicitation, or commercial promotion is strictly forbidden except with written authorization from Housing and Residence Life. Students may not operate, advertise, or promote a private business from their room or any space within the residential areas.

Displaying pornography, alcohol containers, or drug-related paraphernalia in University housing, including the posting of signs or promotional material involving pornography, alcohol, or drugs/drug-related paraphernalia, is prohibited.

Light fixtures in the residential community should never be obstructed or covered by any material. Residents may not cover their walls with material that will create a fire hazard, such as cardboard or cloth. Decorations or posters may cover up to 10% of each wall. Covering public area couches and chairs with fabric and throws is prohibited.

Propped door alarms are installed at the ground-floor entrances of each residence hall. Residents who tamper with the door latching mechanism or vandalize the entry system, doors, and/or propped door alarms may be subject to a minimum $100 fine per incident and disciplinary action.

Students must evacuate immediately when a fire alarm sounds, or a University official gives a directive. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to: University Probation, a fine, and/or educational sanctions such as research on university fires, interviewing firefighters, and field trips to fire sites.

The fire-fighting equipment and alarm systems were installed to protect residents and their property. Tampering with fire equipment is illegal, including, but not limited to, fire alarms, propped door alarms, fire extinguishers, hoses, fire sprinkler heads, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, mechanical bells, strobe lights, and fuse boxes, which may result in a $500 fine, immediate dismissal from the residential community, and possible criminal prosecution. Residents are not permitted to hang any items from safety equipment such as smoke detectors or mechanical bells. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action. Residents are not permitted to hang any items (including clothes hangers) from ceiling fire sprinklers in any residential facility. Hanging items from sprinklers could result in flooding. The resident will be held financially responsible for any water damage caused by activation of the sprinklers.

With the exception of approved appliances, the University prohibits burning open flames or incense in any living area at any time. Any acts of negligence or intent that place the community at risk of fire are prohibited. Additionally, fire hazards such as fireworks, lava lamps, halogen lamps, appliances with exposed heating elements, unapproved space heaters, lighters, and personal BBQs or other items considered unsafe in a residential environment are strictly prohibited in or around any living area. University-maintained BBQs in the community area are available for student use. Residents are not to use any part of the oven or broiler for storage purposes. The possession or use of candles (with or without wicks, burned or unburned) will result in disciplinary action including confiscation and/or other sanctions.

The use of string lights (Christmas lights) is only permitted between the Thanksgiving holiday and before students leave for winter break. Christmas lights may be displayed on a fireproof figurine (e.g., artificial Christmas tree); however, lights cannot be attached to the interior of any student housing facility, i.e., walls, ceilings, furniture, appliances, windows, doors, or stairwell railings. Christmas lights may be displayed on the exterior of the building, but cannot be hung on any roof area or attached to any structure by the use of nails or staples. Natural cut Christmas trees may be displayed outside as long as they are at least 10 feet from any structure. All Christmas decorations, including string lights and Christmas trees, must be removed from the community before winter break. Please direct any questions to the HRL Office or the Resident Director.

Light fixtures in the residential community should never be obstructed or covered by any material. Residents may not cover their walls with material that will create a fire hazard, such as cardboard or cloth. Decorations or posters may cover up to 10% of each wall. Covering public area couches and chairs with fabric and throws is prohibited. 听The following items are not allowed in the Suite-Style Halls: toasters, toaster ovens, electric grills, air fryers, hot plates, and any appliance with an exposed heating element. Instant Pots, Crockpots, rice pots, coffee pots (Keurigs are allowed), and electric kettles.

Powered appliances, surge protectors, and extension cords should not be used in violation of manufacturers' specifications (e.g., using multiple extension cords with multiple plugs in one outlet, plugging a surge protector into another surge protector). Fire hazards found in the residential community will be immediately confiscated; in most cases, confiscated items will not be returned.

Rooms are to be occupied only by the residents who are assigned to that room. Guests must be registered by the hosting resident through the RA and abide by all University regulations. As a matter of respect, residents must receive permission from their room/apartment mates before inviting guests; guests (including International Program participants) may not occupy or use residential facilities for more than two consecutive nights, and no more than six nights per semester. No more than one overnight guest is allowed at a time, and the resident host must accompany overnight guests at all times. Out of consideration for others, overnight guests are prohibited during the last two weeks of the semester. The University reserves the right to refuse permission to house overnight guests. Guests are expected to abide by Federal, State, and local laws.听

The guest privilege is intended to permit occasional visits and overnight stays, not to provide housing accommodations to individuals who do not have an approved housing assignment. Guests may not use University housing as a residence, establish residency, store personal belongings for an extended period of time, or otherwise occupy or utilize a residential space in a manner that circumvents University housing assignments, occupancy limits, guest restrictions, or housing fees. Housing and Residence Life may determine that a guest has become an unauthorized occupant based on the frequency, duration, nature, or circumstances of the guest's presence, regardless of whether the guest stays overnight or complies with guest registration requirements.

Residents are responsible for the actions of their guests, for ensuring that guests abide by University rules and regulations, including residential visitation policies, and for ensuring that their guests do not become unauthorized occupants of University housing. Residents and unauthorized occupants may be subject to disciplinary action and may be assessed applicable housing fees, meal plan charges, damages, or other associated costs resulting from unauthorized occupancy.

Students residing in University housing are responsible for complying with all applicable , Housing and Residence Life policies, and related residential community standards. Violations of the Housing Contract Terms and Conditions or Housing and Residence Life policies may also violate the Student Code of Conduct and may result in disciplinary action, housing-related action, or both.

An atmosphere conducive to normal living and academic achievement is to be maintained at all times. To facilitate this goal, loud televisions, music, gaming, or other excessively noisy activities are prohibited at all times. Audio-visual equipment must be used with discretion at all hours to avoid disturbing others. Playing amplified sound out of the window is not permitted. Residents may be required to remove audiovisual equipment from their rooms. Designated quiet hours, maintained during all academic periods, are 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. These hours are extended to 24 hours per day during final exam periods. Residents are fined for a single disruptive noise incident or for repeated disregard for the quiet hours policy. Repeat offenders will be fined a minimum of $25 for each occurrence and face disciplinary action up to and including the loss of housing privileges.

Students and guests are not permitted to have pets in the residence halls or apartments. Emotional support animals may be allowed in on-campus student residences when registered with and approved by the Office of Student Accessibility. Service animals should be registered with the Office of Student Accessibility. See the Animals Policy for additional information about pets, emotional support animals, and service animals.

All residents are jointly responsible for protecting the living area, its furnishings, and its equipment. When the University cannot identify the person(s) responsible for damages, residents will share in the payment for those damages, including charges for labor and materials. Charges for damages will be assessed as they occur throughout the semester and will appear on the student's financial account (minimum $5 charge). Disciplinary action will be taken when appropriate.

Residents of shared living areas and common spaces may also be held collectively responsible for violations of University policy occurring within those spaces when the responsible individual(s) cannot be identified or when residents knew of, were present for, facilitated, permitted, or failed to appropriately address prohibited conduct. This may include, but is not limited to, the presence of alcohol, drugs, drug paraphernalia, stolen property, prohibited weapons, or other contraband found within shared residential spaces. The University may assign responsibility to all residents of the space when circumstances reasonably support a conclusion that residents collectively bear responsibility for the violation or the conditions giving rise to it.

The University reserves the right to search a student's room and/or possessions if: (1) there is reasonable suspicion of a violation of a law or University rule or regulation; or (2) there is reasonable suspicion that such a search is necessary to protect and preserve the health and safety of persons or property. Any materials found may be used in a disciplinary hearing, a court of law, or both. Upon determination of a reasonable need, the search may be conducted by HRL staff (including the RA), Department of Public Safety, or other authorized University official. In most cases, items that have been confiscated will not be returned to the resident. Additionally, under certain circumstances, vehicles on campus may be accessed, and the contents inventoried. These circumstances include but are not limited to: vehicle impound or relocation; retrieval of University property; vehicles containing a lost, stolen, fraudulent, or altered permit; using another person's permit; or a vehicle involved in suspicious or criminal activity.

To ensure the safety and privacy of all residents, solicitors, including 老司机视频 student solicitors, are not permitted to post flyers, canvass, or market any product in the residential area without prior approval from HRL. Resident Advisors will post only those advertisements approved by HRL. Residents are encouraged to contact the RA, HRL, or DPS if a solicitor is in the community.

The visitation of members of the opposite sex within the residential community is restricted to specific hours in designated areas. The policies are strictly enforced, and violations will result in disciplinary action. The purposes of the visitation hours are to ensure the security and privacy of all students and to maintain an atmosphere conducive to academic achievement.

Visitation in residence halls (including bedrooms, suites, laundry rooms, indoor hallways, stairways) is allowed between 10 a.m. and 1 a.m. Visitation is allowed in the main lobbies of the suite-style halls between 7 a.m. and 2 a.m., and public restrooms may be used during this time.

All apartment buildings have 24-hour lobbies and hallways, but visitation inside the apartments is only allowed between 10 a.m. and 1 a.m. During final exam periods, the visitation hours in all lobbies are extended to 24 hours. Residential visiting hours are in effect seven days per week. There are no circumstances that merit an exception.

When there are members of the opposite sex present after visitation hours, it is considered a violation for all individuals present, whether or not the guest was invited or hosted by one student.

Out of respect for fellow students, residents or guests are not permitted at any time to use the shower facilities in the bathrooms assigned to residents of the opposite sex (e.g., a male may not use the shower in the bathroom of a female resident). Students or guests are not allowed to sleep overnight in the 24-hour common areas. Also see Section IX - Guests.

Soliciting, advertising, or inviting a member of the media, such as a reporter, to campus without prior approval from the appropriate University office.

Exhibition, possession, distribution, or viewing of material or representations deemed to be obscene or contrary to the moral standards and/or mission of the University, including but not limited to pornography.

Lewd behavior, nudity, or indecent exposure of any kind.

Gambling is not allowed on campus or at University-sponsored activities.

Participation in a student organization that has lost University recognition.
