Policy Information 99|Page www.kutztown.edu/thekey • Decorative Lights are permitted for student use inside rooms, suites, or apartments. Decorative Lights are limited to the walls and may not be hung from the ceiling, windows, or door. Decorative Lights must have the UL seal of approval attached to the light. Quiet Hours Policy The major ingredient for any successful group living arrangement is consideration. Consideration for others prevents many problems, especially in the area of excessive noise. Since residence halls and apartments must be quiet enough to allow students to study and sleep, quiet hours are in effect 24 hours a day. In order to maintain quiet in the halls and apartments, quiet hours are strongly enforced Sunday through Friday, 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. Consideration of others should also be observed Friday and Saturday, especially during the morning hours. Enforcement of quiet hours extends to outside of the halls and apartments, including any hall patio area, front entrance way, Bonner Hall, University Place and Dixon courtyards, Golden Bear Villages, and Honors Building breezeways and mailbox areas. Room Vacancy Residents who live in a double or triple and are missing a roommate are expected to keep the uninhabited part of the room clear so that the room is ready for another resident to move in at any time. Sales and Solicitation Policy Student rooms may not be used for any commercial activity. This applies to a wide range of activities that may include advertising, selling, petitioning, campaigning, distributing fliers, product promotion, and providing personal services (i.e., hair cutting, nails, baked goods). The Residence Life and Housing & Dining Services Office may permit some exceptions to this policy. If you would like further information about these exceptions, please contact the main office at Old Main 106. Search of Parcels Policy In order to prevent prohibited items from being brought into the residence halls and apartments, the Residence Life and Housing & Dining Services staff may ask permission to search bags, trunks, suitcases, boxes, garbage cans, etc. If you refuse to show the contents, the staff may request that you leave the building. If you refuse to show the contents and refuse to leave, Public Safety will be contacted. Smoking Policy All Kutztown University buildings, including the residence halls, are designated as smoke free. The use of smoking devices or equipment that includes but is not limited to electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), vaporizers, hookahs, and pipes are strictly prohibited within the residence halls. Each building will have one entrance designated as an outdoor smoking area. Smoking is not permitted within 25 feet of any window or main entrance to a residence hall or apartment. Violators of this policy may jeopardize their on-campus status within the residence system. Theft Theft or unauthorized possession of personal or University property is prohibited. Students who are victims of theft should contact Public Safety and inform a Residence Life, Housing and Dining Staff member.
