This document outlines various residential policies at Elon University, including policies around fire safety, community standards, drugs and alcohol, and housing-specific rules. It aims to help students understand how policies apply to their living situation and why they are important for campus safety and community standards. Key policies discussed are those around grilling/open flames, noise, visitation hours, overnight guests, quiet hours, underage drinking, and apartment/room changes. The document clarifies that a common misunderstanding is that someone can "vouch" to remove others from responsibility in alcohol incidents, when the only way is a breathalyzer test.

WHY POLICIES?: MASLOWS HIERARCHY OF NEEDS Policies help create a safe and secure living environment
FIRE SAFETY POLICIES Grills Student may not use gas or charcoal grills in or about the residence, unless the grill has been installed by Elon University Apartment/Room Items Not allowed: live Christmas Trees, candles, halogen lams, non-electric fuel lamps and lanterns, simmer pots, and incense (fined if found during health and safeties) Holiday lights are not allowed (only exception is balconies at Station at Mill Point) Smoking Smoking any substance is not permitted in any campus housing Must be 30 feet from any building
COMMUNITY POLICIES Large Gathering/Noise Students shall not participate in activities within his/her residence which produce excessive noise or violate other University policies Visitation Hours For guests to visit in each others rooms and apartments. Students may visit or have guests visit them in a residence hall room only during the visitation hours listed below: Hours of visitation are 10:00 am- 12:30 am Sunday-Thursday and 10:00 am- 2:00 am Friday-Saturday Apartments maintain 24 hours a day visitation (different than overnight guests)
COMMUNITY POLICIES Overnight Guests The student shall not permit guests to stay overnight in the residence for more than three days out of a seven-day period. The maximum number of nights that any and all guests can stay overnight in the residence is four nights within a 30 day period and with the roommate's approval. The student is responsible for the actions of their guests at all times while guests are visiting. Visitation Hours Quiet Hours Twenty-four hours courtesy hours and specific quiet hours are designed to promote an environment conducive to study. Quiet hours are Sunday Thursday, 10:00pm to 10:00am and Friday Saturday, 12:00am to 10:0am. 24-hours, quiet hours will be in effect in all campus housing each day from the last day of classes through the end of final exams.
DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICIES Student under 21 years of age: Its Simple:
DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICIES Students 21 years of age and older: Students may not have more than the equivalent of 12 drinks per number of legal age residents in campus housing; one drink is a 12-ounce beer, 4- ounce glass of wine or 2 ounces of liquor. All use of alcohol is subject to restrictions of state law, University policy, and all other policies in the student handbook. The student shall not manufacture, sell, deliver, possess, use or be under the influence of a controlled substance without legal authorization.
RESIDENCE HALL-SPECIFIC POLICIES Administrative Room Freeze There are time periods where we cannot accommodate room changes. These times typically occur at the beginning and end of the semesters Assignment Changes/Displacement Assignment Change/Room Changes may be made after the first two weeks of each term (a specific date will be announced). These changes must be approved through the residence life office- students may not move rooms on their own. Residence Life also reserves the right to alter assignments or placement if it is in best interest of the University Personal Belongings Residents may not occupy or leave personal belongings in any room before the halls are officially open or after they have closed at the end of academic year
APARTMENT SPECIFIC POLICIES On Campus Apartments include the Station at Mill Point, The Oaks, and Danieley Apartments (A-F, O-P) All residential policies still apply the apartments regarding alcohol, drugs, smoking, etc. Apartment leases start in June and end May 31. Students do not follow the same room change process as other hall-style areas. Apartments are leased contracts so students are responsible for finding someone to fill their space if they decide to move to another location on campus.
THE MISUNDERSTOOD POLICIES (CONFIRMED OR BUSTED) - The Vouch rule Someone can vouch that others were not drinking and those people wouldnt get in trouble - The vouch rule is actually not a policy. The only way that a student can be 100% removed from a case is if they take a breathalyzer and blow a .00.
