Residence Hall Guidelines

15 Additional Considerations About Media ƒ In the use of media (including, but not limited to, physical or streaming music, movies, TV, and live events), students should legally obtain all such media and should comply with all copyright laws. ƒ Students should not use University space other than their residence hall room or lounge, such as classrooms, collaboration rooms, study rooms, and public lounges, or University property to view media unless the student has obtained a license for public viewing. Students are solely liable for violations of copyright law. ƒ Students should also show respect and courtesy for others in the residence hall community by controlling the volume and content of all media. FIRE ALARMS, FIRE EQUIPMENT, AND EMERGENCY EVACUATIONS The activation of any fire alert device (e.g., horn and strobe lights) in any residence hall or building is the signal for controlled, yet rapid, evacuation of the building through the nearest exit. Failure to evacuate a residence hall or building within three minutes during an alarm or drill will result in a $15 fine. Refusal to leave after being directed to do so will result in an additional $30 fine. ƒ Fire Alarms — Falsely setting off an alarm or falsely reporting a fire is a violation of state law. In addition, it endangers students and members of the community. Violations will result in a $200 fine by the University, discipline, and possible criminal prosecution. ƒ Fire Equipment — Intentional tampering with fire hoses, smoke detectors, extinguishers, sprinklers or pipes, and other protection equipment is against state law and will result in serious discipline, a $100 fine, and restitution. Unintentional damage to fire equipment that results from horseplay will result in a $50 fine and restitution. ƒ Safety/Security Equipment — Tampering with any safety/security equipment will result in a $50 fine, disciplinary action, and/or criminal prosecution.
