student life therefore require special arrangements for departure and arrival. Families should check their ticketing airline for details.

Weekday Evenings To build community within each house, students are required to attend sit-down dinner on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Campus-wide quiet hours are from 7:30–9:30 p.m. on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Class III and IV students must report to their houses by 7:25 p.m. for study hall (7:30– 9:30 p.m.); if they have a teacher’s note allowing them to work elsewhere on campus, they must present it to the duty person at that time. Class I and II students have the freedom to choose where on campus they wish to work. Upperclassmen who are not using their evening study time productively may lose this privilege. Visitors may only be in the house during quiet hours if their intent is to study or work on a project and they have permission from the person on duty. Check-in for all students is at 10:00 p.m. In general, students are only allowed to leave campus on school nights for School-sponsored events. (See School Night Sign-Out on page 44.) After evening check-in, students may not leave the house, without special permission, before 6:00 a.m. Quiet Hours Houses must be quiet during campus-wide quiet hours and after 10:30 p.m. Sound systems must not be disruptive to others or audible outside a student’s room and must never be set to disturb the campus (e.g., speakers placed in windows for outdoor listening). The house TV may not be on during study hall or quiet hours, nor should pool, ping pong or other social activities be taking place. Students may not play computer games or watch DVDs on personal computers during study hours or after 10:30 p.m. Lights Out (Sunday through Thursday) Class IV 10:30 p.m. lights out Class III 11 p.m. lights out Class II 11 p.m. quiet Class I 11 p.m. quiet Late Lights Policy (Class III & IV) V In cases when students need more time to complete academic work they may request late lights. The house faculty on duty will consider the following guidelines upon receiving a request for late lights: 1. Late lights will only be granted on nights following days when classes have met, normally, on Monday–Thursday nights. 2. The student requesting late lights should make the request during study hall. Requests made at lights out will normally be denied. 3. The student requesting late lights must have utilized the time during study hall and the time following study hall, before lights out, in focused study. 4. House faculty will limit the number of late lights an individual student will be allowed in a week. Students should not plan to sacrifice sleep on a regular basis but rather seek support from their advisor, the Academic Skills Center, or the Health Center in finding alternate strategies for completing the day’s tasks. If the house faculty grants late lights, the student and the house faculty will set a time when the student will go to bed. Students are still responsible for meeting all commitments the following day, and with the help of the duty person should plan their usage of late lights accordingly. 46
