4.0 Respect for Health and Wellness

Residents are not to engage in behaviors that infringe on the health and well-being of other residents. 

4.1         Alcohol and Illegal Drugs:  Students are required to read and abide by the provisions of the campus Alcohol Beverage and Drug Policies contained in the Knapsack while in the residence halls. Also note that residents may be held responsible for any behavior occurring in their assigned room as outlined in the Responsibility for the Room Policy. 

4.2         Sanitary Conditions:  Residents are expected to keep all rooms sanitary so as not to promote illness.  To assure that basic health standards are met, residence life will conduct health and wellness checks at least twice a semester.  Residents will be notified in advance.  If unsanitary conditions caused by the residents are discovered, the residents will be responsible for cleaning the affected area(s) and/or will be billed the necessary amount to eliminate the unsanitary situation (i.e. mold from bath scum, moldy trash cans from rotting food, moldy refrigerators from spoiled food, etc.).

4.3         Smoking: Smoking is not allowed in any residential areas on campus, with the exception of the common areas in Fraternity Court. Smoking in a prohibited area may result in a $75 fine; restitution for costs associated with carpet cleaning, air-duct cleaning, or other necessary cleaning procedures); and other sanctions.  In the common areas in fraternity court and outdoor areas surrounding residence halls, apartments, and townhouses, students are expected to dispose of cigarettes and butts properly.  Violations of this policy may result in sanctions.

Note:  The Knapsack may be amended as the College deems appropriate.
