occupant moves out, the remaining residents are required to fill the vacancy or
vacate the apartment.
Change of Status
Any resident who withdraws, takes a leave of absence, or whose course load is
reduced to less than 12 credit hours is no longer considered a full-time student.
If credit levels drop, the Dean of Co-Curricular Life must approve a written
request to remain in residence. In all instances, including the credit request
denial, the student must remove their belongings and check out of residence
within 24 hours or risk being charged with trespassing. If belongings remain
behind, the College reserves the right to dispose of them as deemed appropriate
without necessarily contacting the owner.
Quiet Hours/Courtesy Hours
Quiet hours/courtesy hours are established in order to provide students with the
opportunity for uninterrupted sleep and study. Residents in each hall will be
given the opportunity to vote to establish quiet hours in their residence area.
Residents may re-vote to modify their community agreement at any time
thereafter should the hours need to be altered. All residents of a particular unit
will be expected to uphold and enforce any majority-voted quiet hours.
Volume control on all electronic equipment should be kept at a reasonable level.
Common courtesy and reasonable discretion are expected. During Final Exams,
quiet hours are in effect 24 hours per day in all residence areas.
At all times courtesy hours are in effect for residence halls. Students are to
respect the rights and privacy of other students. During specified quiet hours,
students are expected to keep sound and activity within the confines of their
rooms.
Visitation/Guest Policy
While visitation within the residence areas is a privilege and is encouraged,
reasonable discretion and good judgment must be used. Care needs to be taken
so as not to conflict with the rights and privacy of other students who are
entitled to the use of the residence areas in a manner consistent with the design
of the facility. For fire regulations, there is a maximum occupancy per room,
which is posted on each corridor. In the event that there are complaints about
noise and/or other violations, guests may be asked to leave.
A guest is any student who is not assigned to that space or is not a Sweet Briar
student. For visits in excess of three consecutive nights approval must be
obtained from the Office of Residence Life. This pertains to both male and
female guests.
Male visitors may be the guests of a Sweet Briar student in her residence hall
room with the agreement of roommates and in accordance with the following
regulations:
Limited Option: no male visitation Monday-Thursday; visitation Friday
and Saturday, 10 a.m.-1 a.m.; Sunday 10 a.m.-midnight.
