159 What happens if I activate the fire alarm Tampering with fire safety equipment, and causing or contributing to false fire alarms will not be tolerated. Anyone found guilty of these violations will be subject to dismissal from the University and will be held liable under New York State law. See fire regulations on pages 172. How can I ensure fire safety Abide by all fire safety guidelines. Keep fire doors closed at all times. The fire alarm should be immediately activated, even in the event of a small fire, which can easily get out of control. Always close your door when you go to bed. Know the exact location of all fire exits, fire alarms and fire extinguishers. Only metal wastebaskets should be used, and these should be emptied regularly. Do not use extension cords. Do not use open-flame devices. Do not use candles or incense. Do not string wires under rugs, or in any place where they may be subject to wear or mechanical damage. Check all electrical cords periodically for damage. ADELPHI UNIVERSITY • GUIDE FOR RESIDENTIAL STUDENTS Do not use high-wattage appliances and heat-conducting appliances. If you are in doubt about any appliance, ask the RA or residence hall director. What equipment is in place to ensure fire safety Smoke detectors: All rooms and suites are equipped with a smoke detector. Smoke detectors should not be disconnected or covered. Fire extinguishers: Located on each floor of every residence hall is at least one fire extinguisher. Irresponsible use of fire extinguishers can create a dangerous situation and will result in disciplinary action. Fire alarms: Located on each floor of every residence hall are manual and automatic fire alarm systems. In the event of a fire, you should activate the fire alarm if it is not already sounding. Sprinklers: All rooms and suites are equipped with sprinklers. Residents should never cover or hang anything from the sprinkler head, protective cage, or pipes. Damaging a sprinkler head may result in activating the sprinkler, causing flooding to the room and building. Students found activating a sprinkler will be responsible for damages. Behavior What is Adelphi University’s policy on smoking, alcohol and drugs Adelphi University strictly prohibits smoking in or near any University building. Also prohibited anywhere on campus is the possession or consumption of alcohol in its residence halls and the use of any drug that has not been prescribed by a physician or is not available over-the-counter. See page 175 for more comprehensive policies on alcohol, drugs and smoking. What is considered harmful behavior Any action that jeopardizes the safety and well-being of any person within the residence hall is strictly prohibited. Any resident who threatens the safety of another student within the residence hall will be subject to disciplinary action.
Harmful behavior includes, but is not limited to, the following: Athletic endeavors: Engaging in games of Frisbee, football, handball, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, bicycle riding or in-line skating and participating in other such activities within the residence halls is not allowed. Elevators: Riding on top of, tampering with, or damaging elevator equipment is strictly prohibited. Medical waste: Any resident with a medical condition must dispose of medical waste in an appropriate manner. Students should consult with professionals in the Health Services Center about the appropriate disposal of medical waste. Restricted areas: No one is permitted on the roof of any building, or on the edge, sill or railing of windows or on the fire escapes. Furthermore, no one is allowed to drop or suspend any objects from windows, roofs or fire escapes. Your screens should remain in place at all times. Weapons possession: All types of guns, firearms, slingshots or lethal weapons of any sort (or reasonable facsimiles thereof), as well as fireworks, explosive materials and hazardous chemicals are strictly prohibited. Harassment: All resident students deserve to live in an environment free from all forms of harassment. Harassment may take the form of verbal, written or physical conduct that is ethnic, sexual or personal in nature. Any student who experiences harassment should report the incident to an RA, a residence hall director, or a public safety officer. Any resident engaging in any form of harassment may be removed from the residence hall and may face further disciplinary action. Being under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is not considered mitigating circumstances in the consideration of a harassment case. Hazing: Adelphi University supports the right of every student to be free from all forms of humiliation and danger. As a result, all forms of hazing are strictly forbidden. All students are expected to exercise good judgment and refrain from all actions that could harm either themselves, others or any property. 160 YOUR ADVANTAGES One of the major advantages to living on campus is the greater access you have to campus activities, resources and services. Time spent on a commute can be effectively used instead for relaxing entertainment, studying at the library, attending a lecture or building friendships that will last beyond your college years. Following are just some of the reasons to live on campus. Activities Throughout the year, in addition to the various programs held within the residence halls, the Center for Student Involvement, Student Government Association-funded clubs and several academic departments sponsor many exciting campus events. There are a number of parties, movies, distinguished lectures, plays, art exhibits, cultural events, workshops and seminars scheduled throughout the year. To keep you informed of on-campus events, the Center for Student Involvement sends an email at the beginning of every week listing student programs for the week; for the day’s activities, visit adelphi.edu/csi/events to get detailed information about scheduled events. Universitywide information is available on the Adelphi University Calendar at calendar.adelphi.edu. For an AU Panther athletic event, visit aupanthers.com. For information about other University events, including art exhibitions, performance times for music, theatre and dance, or cultural events,
