(C) NOISE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Support of student learning and academic success is a priority in the residence hall community. Large numbers of students living together can create noise and general disturbances inside and outside residence halls. In order to help maintain a learning environment, 24-hour courtesy hours are always in effect. During courtesy hours reasonable levels of noise, contained within the building and not objectionable to any neighbor, is permitted. All residence halls also have established quiet hours. During quiet hours, noise is to be contained within a resident‟s room. Minimum quiet hours are from 10 p.m. through 8 a.m., Sunday through Thursday; and midnight through 9 a.m. on weekends (Friday and Saturday). Quiet hours can be extended/increased by a simple majority vote coordinated by the resident assistant and the residence director. The length and time of quiet hours cannot be reduced. 27
