Student Code of Conduct 2018-19

These sanctions might include removal of the Student from the residence hall, suspension and/or expulsion from
the College.
Smoking
Smoking is prohibited in all residence halls. Smoking is also not allowed in hallways, stairwells, elevators,
bathrooms, lounges or stairwell entrances to the buildings. A designated smoking area is located behind building
116. Further, Students are strongly encouraged to not smoke on the Beacon Street side of the College. If Students
are smoking on the Beacon Street side, the Student will be required to move to the designated smoking area
behind building 116.
Noise & Quiet Hours
Housing and Residential Life is dedicated to maintaining an atmosphere conducive to the pursuit of residents’
academic goals and to provide an opportunity for uninterrupted study and rest. College quiet hours have been
established to respect the rights of all residents. The cooperation of every resident is expected for the
maintenance of an atmosphere conducive to study. Residents are expected to be respectful and considerate at all
times; however, certain hours have been specifically designated as quiet hours. Noise should be confined to
individual rooms.
Sunday – Thursday 10:00 p.m. – 10:00 a.m.
Friday & Saturday 12:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
All residents should respect the rights of other residents to read, to study, and to sleep without interference.
Undue disturbance or unreasonable noise will not be tolerated. Residents found responsible for violating quiet
hours will be subject to disciplinary action. Any noise that is deemed by a Resident Director, Resident Assistant, or
Public Safety, to be too loud, warrants the immediate removal of the source of the noise. Definitions of “too loud”
are subject to whatever these authorities deem as uncomfortable or potentially noisy to residents of surroundings
areas. This policy is not restricted to time of day and pertains to noise on and about Fisher College property.
Please be advised that all buildings have 24 hour courtesy hours and we expect Students to comply with requests
to reduce noise at any time of the day. During the period of final exams, quiet hours are in effect for 24 hours and
no overnight guests are allowed in the Residence Halls.
Complaints of excessive residence hall noise, which interferes with classes and business in College offices, are
occasionally received by the Department of Public Safety and will be addressed. Since we are located in a
residential neighborhood residents are prohibited from placing stereo speakers in their windows with the sound
directed outside, operating any other device, or shouting/yelling through windows in any way that unduly disturbs
the peace of the College and neighboring community.
Residents are required to monitor their noise levels when returning to the college during early morning hours. Any
Student who is confronted by a member of Public Safety or Residential Life for excessive noise will face
sanctioning.
Disturbance
Students shall not conduct or permit in their room loud parties or activities or in any manner create disturbances
which would cause annoyance or discomfort to other residents. All students must be able to sleep and study at all
times. Students will not permit the premises to be used for illegal purposes. See also section on Noise and Quiet
Hours.
